Alabama. J. M. Robinson (September 25): The cotton leaf worm appeared 
generally over the State throughout the latter half of August and Septem- 
ber. The cotton was sufficiently advanced in southern and central Ala- 
bama that very little damage was d^ne to it. In northern Alabama, 
however, where the cotton was late, considerable damage was "done and 
a lot of dusting was necessary to hold this pest in check. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle (September 2H) • The cotton leaf worn is generally dis- 
tributed over Mississippi, but the amount of damage has been very light 
on account of the early maturity of the cotton. 
S. W. Dunnam (September 5)? The cotton leaf worm is increasing 
in many fields in Washington County but, as the crop is mature, the 
farmers arc not poisoning. (September 19): About 50 percent of the 
cotton has been stripped and more stripping is being done. The moths 
are just beginning to emerge from the last generation. 
Louisiana. R. C. Gaines (September 5): At Tallulah considerable stripping 
has occurred during the past week but planters have discontinued 
poisoning. (September 2^): Leaf worms continue to strip cotton. 
Missouri. W. P. Turner (September 25): Stripping cotton in Scott, Stoddard, 
and Pemiscot Counties. In many fields the plants have been entirely

Texas. R. W. Moreland (September 5-19): Where no poison has been used the 
leaf worms are stripping the cotton plants at College Station. 
K. P. Swing (September 12): There was an increase in infestation 
this week which resulted in many farms in Calhoun Countv being poisoned 
again. 
A. J. Chapman (September 5): At Presidio and over the Rio Grande 
Valley leaf worms are now generally distributed. Owing to recent rains 
it was necessary for the farmers to apply poisons again. (September 19): 
although light spotted infestations occur throughout the valley the 
farmers have discontinued poisoning. 
Arizona. T. P. Cassidy (September 5): Cotton leaf worms continue to rag 
cotton on the experimental farm at Tucson, approximately one-fourth 'of 
the foliage o n the plants having been eaten. A general infestation is 
present m all of the commercial cotton area in the vicinity of Tucson. 
All stages of worms are present in the fields. Only about 20 acres have 
been completely stripped. (September 10): Approximately 10 acres of 
cotton at Buckeye were found to be lightly infested. While several 
reports nave been received, this is the first authentic record in the Salt
