is reported in 24 counties of this State. Every available force is 
being directed to help farmers to get material and implements for 
fighting the pest. We have been successful in getting four lots

worm is very serious, as cotton is fully 10 days or two weeks late 
and the leafworm about three weeks earlier than usual.
