Alabama. J. M. Robinson (September 25): The Doll weevil infestation at 
Auburn did not "become sufficiently high to require dusting the cotton. 
In southern Alabama, particularly in the southwestern part, some dusting 
was necessary. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (September 2U) : The boll weevil infestation in the 
State is very light. In some sections in the central part of the State 
the weevils were numerous enough to puncture practically all of the 
late squares, but this condition was not general and practically no 
damage has been done. 
3. W. Dunnam (September 5): ^ n Washington County a few weevils 
can be found in green spots where there is some fruit available, but the 
population is almost negligible away from the wooded areas. Migration 
has been very light. 
Louisiana. R. C. Gaines (September 26): During the past U weeks there has 
been a scarcity of squares and bolls at Tallulah for the late breeding 
of the boll weevil, owing to the stripping caused by the leaf worm 
( Alabama argillacea Hbn.); however, some cotton that was stripped some 
time ago is now taking on second growth, which may afford a considerable 
number of squares for late breeding. 
Oklahoma. C. P. Stiles (September 25): Boll weevils have done less damage 
to cotton this year than at any time since they became generally estab- 
lished in Oklahoma. One has to search carefully in the fields in the 
east side of the State, where they are usually quite numerous, to find 
adult weevils. 
Texas. R. W. Moreland (September 12): The weevil infestation record in late 
cotton for the second br^od at College Station is as follows: 3,600 
squares examined in three experiments; the check plots ranged from 13.3 
to 18. 3 percent, with an average of 16.7 percent; the treated plots 
ranged from 0.3 to 13.3 percent, with an average of k.2 percent; the 
treated plot, with 13.3 percent infestation, had received only two appli- 
cations of poison. 
K. P. Ewing (September 5): At Port Lavaca weevils continue to damage 
many fields. (September 12): There was a wide-spread migration of boll 
weevils during this week. Observation of cotton fields in Calhoun and 
Jackson Counties indicates that practically 100 percent of all squares 
and bolls are being damaged, and even large bolls are being punctured. 
The small late crop that was anticipated a few weeks ago is being reduced. 
Mexico. C. S. Rude (September 5): At Tlahualilo the boll weevil infestation 
in new squares is very heavy and the top crop is being damaged consider- 
ably. (September 22): The crop from the Don Martin project is ginning 
out about 50 percent as much as it has for the past 2 years, notwithstand- 
ing the increased acreage this year. The reduction is accounted for by 
failure to control the boll weevil.
