located and their feeding was hardly noticeable. This spring 
Cottonwood and Lombrrdy poplars generally all over the city are 
almost completely defoliated. In 1928, in a park in Taccr.a, 
which includes several varieties of noplars in its plantings, 
damage showed only on cottonv.ood. Several Lombardy poplars 
in this park were fed on but slightly. This year every poplar 
in the park is almost completely defoliated.
