R. H. Pettit (September 2l): I took my information frcm one of 
the, inspectors employed by the State to supervise the standardized 
packing of fruit under the new Braman law, I asked him particularly 
when it first came and he gave me the date as the first of September. 
He also showed me a peach which had been attacked and described the 
work, which appears to be absolutely typical* We received from the 
Gladwin Construction Company a number of samples that are undoubtedly 
this insecT, ., Our experience up here in the past has been that they 
disappear after a heavy frost, 
C. N. Ainslie (September 30) : .An unusual flight of adults was ob- 
served in certain parts of the territory in and about Sioux City. 
The moths invade porches and attract attention by reason of their 
numbers ,

John B. Gill (October 2): The cottcn leafworm was in epidemic form 
in some sections of southern Georgia by the middle of August, and 
owing to the lateness of the cotton crop some serious damage was 
done by the caterpillars. The worst infestation coming under my 
observation was in Mitchell County, Ga, We have received a report 
from Hope, Ark., statirg that the cotton leafworm was very destructive 
in that section. In a pecan orchard which had been planted in cotton, 
so many of these caterpillars pupated in leaves on the lower limbs 
as to cause the limos to bend to the ground, 
0. C. McBrids (October 6): The third brood of the cotton armyworm 
reached its height about September £8 in u outheastern Missouri, 
stripping the entire foliage from the cottcn plant and feeding on 
the immature bolls. However, they were so late that the lower pro- 
duction bolls were mature and the damage to the cotton crop was com- 
paratively small. The migrating adults have oeen reported in larpe 
numbers for Jasper and DsKalo Counties., 
J. Vf. McColloch (October 10): The moths were reported especially 
numerous in beds of everoearing strawberries. In .some cases one- 
half of the croio was ruined.

M. C. Tanquary (October 17): The cotton leafworra has stripped prac- 
tically 100 per cent of the cotton in this portion of the State. In 
riding on the train from San Antonio to College Station on October 10, 
every field of cotton noticed from the car windows was almost entirely 
defoliated. Unless the foliage comes out again on these plants the 
work of the leafworm should cut do"'n enormously the number of boll 
weevils going into hioernation. 
T. C. Baroer (October 21): Late cctton fields, which have been held 
in the expectation of a top crop, have recently been very heavily 
attacked by a late brood of the cotton worm, and are rapidly being 
completely defoliated. Considerable numbers of adult moths have 
also been flying to lights during the past few days.
