Louisiana. 1. E. Hinds (August 12): The cotton leaf worm has been reported 
from the following parishes: Madison, Caldwell, Franklin, Lafayette, 
and Vermilion. (August 21): Damage reported from over the entire State 
wherever cotton is grown. Impossible to get calcium arsenate. 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (August 6): Cotton leaf worms are lightly distributed 
over the State, with heaviest infestation in Jefferson, Love, Bryan, and 
Choctaw Counties. (August 21): Reported from practically all counties 
in the State. So far the damage has not been serious, except in a few 
instances. The moths of the first Oklahoma brood are now depositing their 
eggs. 
Texas. D. M. McEachem (August 17): The cotton leaf worm made its appear- 
ance in the Presidio and Castolon sections of the Big Bend the last week 
in July. This is approximately a month earlier than the pest ordinarily 
appears. This insect also made its appearance in the irrigated section 
around Fort Stockton, in Pecos County, the second week in August. At 
this time damage is noticeable in the limited cotton acreage in this sec- 
tion. 
P. L. Thomas (August 22): The fourth generation of adults since 
this insect first reached the State is now in full flight. This is the 
third generation to infest cotton at College Station and unprotected 
fields have been completely stripped of foliage. 
K. P. Ewing and R. L. McG-arr (August 3): Observations in the Corpus 
Christi and Robstown area last week end showed nearly all fields of 
mature cotton stripped. Observations in Refugio County yesterday showed 
some fields stripped and others protected. (August 10): Very heavy 
infestation this week covering half of Calhoun County. In many fields 
the heaviest infestation of the season occurred this week. Observations 
last Friday afternoon showed the leaf worm was getting but of control on 
a few farms in the county. (August 17): A few hundred acres of cotton 
in the county have been stripped or partially stripped. 
New Mexico. J. IT. Crisler (August 17): The first generation of the cotton 
leaf worm has pupated in the Mesilla Valley. 
Arizona. T. P. Cassidy (August): The infestation in Arizona is so light 
that no commercial damage will resu.lt from the second generation. There 
is a remote possibility that an influx of moths from western Texas may 
cause damage. 
BOLL WORM ( Heliothis obsoleta Fab. ) 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (August 21): Moths are present in large numbers in 
some fields. So far the damage has been light. 
Texas. F. L. Thomas (August 22): Owing to hot, dry weather, the second- 
generation worms have failed to materialize, even where fairly large 
numbers of eggs had been laid.
