Several outbreaks of the cotton leaf worm ( Alabama argil lac ea Ebn. ) 
occurred throughout the cotton section, necessitating considerable spraying. 
The pink 1 "boll worn (Pectinophora go ssypiclla Saur.d. ) was generally 
distributed throughout the cotton s ections of the north and soutli coasts 
but was not very injurious to cotton. 
A leaf miner ( llepticula gossipyii Fbs. & Leon.) vas first discovered 
in March, 1930, and described -as a new species. It was present in the 
majority of fields of cotton on the couth coast in the spring until crops 
were harvested, often with nearly all the leaves full of miners, but 
apparently little .damage was done to the crop. ITo infestation was found 
on north coast . 
Cotton stainers ( pysdercus andreae L. and D. :^e-.;lectus Uhl.) were 
generally distributed but not very injurious, although abundant in several 
cotton fields on the south coast in March, 1930. 
The cotton lacebug ( Corythucha zoesypii Fab.) was present in small 
numbers on occasional loaves of cotton in various sections. 
The cotton aphid ( Aphi s -ossypii G-loV.) was-'often found in small 
numbers on the leaves of cotton. 
A scale insect, Saissetia nigr a llietn. , was generally present and 
often fairly abundant on cotton but apparently was of little importance. 
A leafhopper, Bupoasca sp., was often found in small numbers ' ! 
throughout the cot ton- growing sections but was not injurious. 
A leaf mite ( Eriophyes -rossypii Glov.) was -'cnerally distributed,
