period of rainy, showery weather, such as has prevailed for the 
last week or so, and now is a very good time for vigilane 
in detecting such infestations and reducing them as quickly 
as possible. 
It will be noted that the present report also includes general 
conditions en weevil tests as well as the cage emergence tests. 
The cooperation which was inaugurated in dealing with cage- 
emergence records has been exceedingly valuable, end a similar 
cooperation has been arranged to deal with the progress of weevil 
and other cotton insect conditions throughout the season. Other 
stations which did not have hibernation cage tests are joining 
in this movement and the following new co opera torn are now 
listed: R. W. Harned, Entomologist, A„ & lu College, Miss,; L. 
Haseman, Professor of Entomology, University of Missouri; Dwight 
Isely, Association Entomologist, Eayettevilie, Ark.; and C. 3. 
Sanborn, Entomologist, Stillwater. C~:la„ 
In addition, reports are received from other Federal channels 
such as the pink bollworm inspectors cf the Federal Horticultural 
Board and it is planned to bring -chic information together twice 
a month so that a general cross-section of cotton insect conditions 
throughout the majority of the belt will be available.
