Arkansas B, R. Ccad (September 11): The following counties have suffered 
more or less damage from the cotton leaf worm the present season, 
according tc information frcm reliable sources: 
Green Cross Jefferson Saline 
Pulaski Independence Jackson Perry 
Logan Sebastian Nevada Ouachita 
Union 
Oklahoma B. R. Co^d (September 12): C. E. Sanborn, Entomologist, Stillwater, 
under date of Septemoer 7, advises that the leaf worm has begun to 
occur fairly generally in the southern part of the State. This is 
in addition to occurrences previously reported at Frederick, Tillman 
County, and McAlester, Fittsburg County. 
New ?1exico R. H f iddleorook (August 16): It is too early to estimate damage. 
Have appeared in enormous numoers. Lo^al arsenical supplies are 
exhausted and they will probably do much more damage until more 
arsenicals are obtained. (August 23): No particular damage; 
may be a benefit, in 1/iesilla and Pe^os Valleys. (SeptPiaoer 13): 
The cotton leafworm arrived so la x e and did not increase in numbers 
so that what little harm thpy did vvas offset by the advantage gained 
by the stripping of the leaves which allowed the sun to reach the 
lower tolls and has caused seme prematu/e ripsning which in this 
c ount ry is an ad vant ag e . 
MOTION APHID ( Aphis gogs vtii Glcv.) 
North Carolina F. Sherman (Septemoer 6): I think that our field workers can give 
testimony that in some fields there has been more of this aphid on 
the dusted oiants . 
Georgia Y. r . F. Turner (Septemoer 5): In several fiplds the infestation is 
so heavy that opening cotton is being covered by h/oneydew and its 
consequent sooty moid^ In a field of cotton, dusted only twice, 
the infestation is general. Couldn't find a leaf which didn't 
bear seme aphids . Across the road is another field which was not 
dusted (planted in a peach orchard). Very few aphids in one end 
of this field. Further down the road, however, sere poison blew 
across from the dusted field , as evidenced by the severs defoliation 
of the young peach trees. Here there are mere aphids than in the 
portion 'which received no dust whatever, but not nearly as many as 
in the field (across the road) which received the dust directly. 
G, A. Maloney (Septemoer 12): Aphid infestation is also reported 
frcm LaGrange. 
COTTON B0LL" r OP"' T ( Heliothis ob soleta Feb.) 
Alabama \7. E, Hinds (August 2o^: The cotton boliworm has been extremely 
common and the frequent complaints show that it is doing more damage 
than the Doll weevil.
