generally scattered. 
Geo* A. Maloney: Under date of September 15 Dr. W. E. Hiuds 
writes: "Cottonworm moths from the second generation are just 
now emerging at Bator) Rouge. Cotton is putting on considerable 
top growth and in some cases there is a small possibility of 
some top crop, because of boll weevil control through extreme 
heat and drought, I doubt, though, whether planters will dust 
this year for the cottonwciom even to save a small top crop*
