killed 59*4 percent of the larvae in 3 days; a 3-percent DDT dust killed 
79^5 percent; and dust containing 1 percent chlordane plus 0.25 percent 
rotenone killed 85.1 percent. — Sun et a!. (45QJ . 
Psychidae 
Acanthppsyche J , un.odj Heyl , the wattle bagworm 
In laboratory tests a 5~percent dust of chlordane, applied at the rate 
of 5, 7, 9 t and 10 pounds per acre, was markedly more effective than 
natural cryolite against first and second instar bagworms when applied to 
the leaves only or when "both leavee and worms were dusted. Chlordane ap- 
peared to he slightly less effective than "benzene hexachleride against the 
first two inatars, and was less effective than cryolite for the older hag- 
worms.— Petty (364). 
Phycitidae 
Acrobagla carvaj Grote, the pecan nut case bearer 
Chlordane 44-percent emulsion concentrate at 1 quart per 100 gallons 
of water, applied late in the summer, Central Texas, in 1947, was less ef- 
fective than DDT or lead arsenate in preventing nut oasebearers from going 
into winter quarter*. — Nickels ( 35l ). 
Elaemophalpus lignosellus (Zell.), the lesser cornstalk borer 
In Louisiana chlordane at the rate of 2.5 pounds per acre proved much 
more effective than 10 pounds of DDT and produced a nearly perfect stand. —

Homalopalpia dalera Dyar, the papaya webworm 
A spray of 0.05 percent chlordane reduced the percentage of webs with 
larvae to 14.4 as compared with 8l.7 in the check 7 days after treatment, 
but 36 days after treatment the percentages were 30.4 and 44.6, respec- 
tively. — Wolfenbarger ( 507 ). 
Pyraustidae 
De.spiia, funeral is (Hbsn.), the grape leaf folder 
In California in 1947 a dust, containing 5 percent of chlordane and 
50 percent of sulfur, was less effective (9 and 27.4 larvae in rolls per
