BOLL VE3VIL ( rinthonomus grandi s Boh, ) 
0. I. Snapp (September 17): The drought during the last month 
has materially reduced the boll-vTeevil infestation. Some 
counties in middle Georgia have produced a good Crop of cotton. 
VJ. E. Hinds (September 23) : Boll-'jeevil damage in the main cot- 
ton areas has been luite heavy, but many fields in the southern 
part of the State, -.-/here cotton grov/ing is scattered and new, 
have practically escaped v/eevil damage this season. The late- 
planted cotton is suffering much from v/eevils and yield pros- 
pects are very poor.

?. C. Bishopp (September 2S): A fe^v moths of Alabama argillacea 
have recently been observed flying around lights in Washington, 
.D. C. 
?. C. Bishopp (September 11): Leaf-'7orm attack on cotton along 
the highv/ay from Te:^arkana to Sikeston, Ho., is very spotted. 
Very little complete defoliation -.-^as observed, and ;mny fields 
sho\7ed no apparent infestation. Soit^ poisoning has been done, 
but it is not general. 
R. M. Iferned (September 22): Although the cotton leaf ^7orra has 
appeared luite generally over the State during the past few 
v^-eeks, the damage it has caused ha.s been slight. 'Te have re- 
ceived specimens collected on cotton from several localities. 
17. S. Kinds (Septenier 23): Cotton leaf v;orm.s have not in- 
creased so rapidly or spread so generally in Louisiana this sea- 
son as seemed likely to occur tro months ago. The principal 
damage has been in the northern part of the State and consider- 
able poisoning has bfeen done for their control. 
F. C. Bishopp (September o): Very little complete defoliation 
of cotton by the leaf vrorm has taken place in northern Texas. 
Some fields'^ 3ho^7 no evidence of the presence of vorns , but 
many are "ragged" considerably.
