ught; crop however, poorest in many years. Collins County infes- 
tation somewhat spotted but generally very heavy. Infestation 
heavy and prospects very poor in Fannin and Cooke Counties." 
Alabama r W. E. Hinds (August 36). "Boll weevil damage in the central and 
southern part of the State is less than had been anticipated at the 
beginning of the season, because of the control of the first gen- 
eration of weevils by the hot, dry weather occurring during the 
month of June and most of July in most of that region. Fields, 
however, that received more rainfall are suffering heavier damages. 
In northern Alabama the injury from the weevil is heavier than it 
has been in any previous year. As a general rule comparatively lit- 
tle dusting control has been practiced this season," 
Mississippi R. W. Earned (August 29). "The boll weevil is very abundant in all 
parts of the State* The entire State is now probably more serious- 
ly infested than ever before at this season of the year," 
Texas M. C. Tanquary (August 22). "Infestation continues to increase in 
the vicinity of College Station in spite of the dry, hot weather." 
*-.^ COTTON APHIS ( Aphis gossypii Glov.) 
Texas M. C. Tanquary (August 22). "During the latter part of July and 
the first week in August there was a heavy infestation in some 
cotton fields at College Station. The infestations have been 
greatly reduced by parasites and climatic conditions." 
BOLLWORM ( Chloridea obsoleta F a b.) 
Texas M. C. Tanquary (August 22). "Since July 22 many complaints have 
been received concerning damage to cotton by Tbhe bollworm. The 
infestation seems to be quite general •" 
COTTON WORM ( Alabama argillacea Hubn.) 
Alabama W.E.Hinds (August 26) "The cotton leafworm has just been reported 
from Benton, Lowndes County, occurring upon some very late planted 
thrifty young cotton in which boll weevil damage is also very heavy 
The initial occurrence of this species is so late that heavy da- 
foliation is not anticipated for this season." 
Mississippi R. W. Harned (August 29). "Reports of the appearance of the cotton 
worm have been received from various parts of the State." 
GRAY HAIR STREAK ( Uren otes melinus Hubn. ) 
Louisiana T. H. Jones (August l). "County Agent W. H. Humble sent in infested 
squares and larvae collected at Alexandria."
