by this species may be sprayed with Derrisol or Katakilla.

Klinger ( 237 ) in 1936 reported that tests made in the laboratory 
with rotenone spray and dust against fourth instars gave no mortality 
in 8 days, 
Agrotis sp. 
Trappmann and Nitsche ( 417 ) in 1935 reported that rotenone sprays 
and dusts, regulated to give a deposit of 0.18 mg. of rotenone per 500 
dm. , were not effective against last instars,

Smith, Clark, and Scales, Tallulah, La., in a typewritten report 
to the Division of Cotton Insect Investigations, Bureau of Entomology 
and Plant Quarantine, United States Department of Agriculture, in 1934 
compared the effectiveness of derris, cube, and other insecticides again: 
the cotton leafworm in cages and in the field. Both derris and cube 
contained 4 percent of rotenone. The insecticides were applied as a 
dust according to 'average field dusting" practice, with a small hand 
dust gun. The results were as follows: 
Insecticide Mortality 
Percent 
Cube only 60 
Derris only 73 
Calcium arsenate 94 
Check 1 
These results were referred to by Roark ( 357 ) in 1938 in a review 
of the comparative value of cube and derris. 
In 1936 Smith, Clark, and Scales (376) reported that in cage 
tests at Tallulah, La., derris powders containing from 0.4 to 4.0 per- 
cent of rotenone were less effective than calcium arsenate in killing 
leafworms on cotton. In 1957, in a typewritten report to the Division 
of Cotton Insect Investigations of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant 
Quarantine they gave the following results of cage tests at Tallulah, 
La., in 1936:
