various sections cf the pecan belt. The moths have oeen emerging 
for the past ten days and at this writing egg deposition on the 
nut clusters is talcing place in commercial pecan orchards of this 
immediate region. It is too early to determine the extent of .the 
infestation, but douotless there will be considerable damage tc 
the nut crop i rom tne attacks of this insect.

parts of the State revealed the fact that in the Counties of Carter, 
Johnston, Marshall, and Bryan the pecan case-bearer is doing a great
