Cooperative report on status of boll weevil and other cotton insects 
as of August 15, Delta Laboratory, Tallulah, La, 
Weevil infestations in the infested areas have increased rapidly 
during the last 15 days as a result of general field migration,. 
The continued dry weather in many localities has effected complete 
weevil control. In Texas injury has been reported in only a few 
counties on or near the coast in the southeast. In Arkansas ,: spotted" 
infestations with injury occurred in only the southern portion. In 
northern Louisiana "spotted" infestations occurred with severe 
injury in many fields and in the southern portion a high infestation 
prevailed generally. In Mississippi injury has occurred locally and 
largely in the Mississippi Delta section,, Tennessee is practically 
free of injury. In northern Alabama, northern Georgia, western 
South Carolina, and western North Carolina weevil injury has been 
limited to local areas. Considerable injury has been reported in 
southern Alabama, southern and eastern central Georgia, the coastal 
plain section of Souths Carolina, and southeastern and eastern North 
Carolina,
