Raleigh, IT, C. July IS, Mr. Pranklin Sherman. A few complaints 
of lice have been received. 
W. E« Hinds (July 22): Cotton plant lice are increasing very 
rapidly and especially in areas which have been • 1 for weevil 
control. We are finding that it is easily possible to control 
ther:e plant lice by using calcium arsenate, $1 part3, V weight, 
as the carrier for 6 parts of nicotine sulphate and applying this 
mixture in the late evening when the air ii still an -1 .• T1.1. usl ; 
the same machinery that wo aid be used for weevil control work but 
with a rather heavy application, 8 or 9 pounds per acre of the dust 
mixture. The cost of plant louse control additional to the wee' T _l 
control work is only about 75 cents per acre and one a-volication 
is, wo believe, ail that will be necessary during the teaser. In 
many of our exotjrin.e-.its better then 32 per cent control of the lice 
has boen secured ~oy this method of treat ement„ 
W. A. Baker (July l): In this section (Dallas) the lice *7ere 
present on cotton to a conslderab"'© extort up until abort two weeks 
ago. At this time they are fast leaving the fields and very few 
fields suffered serious da'nage from their effects* a peculiar fact 
about the lice this year was that, 
,e of the droughty erudi- 
tions of the country, they were still working on the plants for 
about three weeks after the time it is usually considered that 
lice have done their damege and disappeared.
