stripped all cotton at the station at Experiment i "brut no harm is done 
as the cotton has matured. 
Mississippi. C. Lyle and assistants (September 23): The cotton leaf worm 
is very generally distributed over Mississippi. Infestation in most 
instances has been rather light and poisoning has been necessary in 
only a few places. The early maturity of cotton largely prevented 
serious damage. 
Louisiana. W. E, Hinds (September 25): Cotton leaf worms have stripped 
nearly all cotton in the State, except where poisoned. Stocks of 
arsenicals were exhausted early in August. The damage done o^ stripping 
is quite heavy. 
Missouri. G. D. Jones (September 17): The cotton leaf worm situation has 
improved somewhat and we do not expect any serious losses when the 
second wave strikes. 
Oklahoma. C. F. Stiles (September 21): The cotton leaf worm has defoli- 
ated 90 percent of the cotton in the lowlands in the eastern half of 
the State. Much of the upland cotton has suffered very little. For 
awhile during the first week in September the cool nights checked the 
activity of the worms in the vicinity of Stillwater; however, for the 
past week the weather has been unusually warm and worms are showing up 
in large numbers. 
Arizona. C D, Lebert (September 15): The farmers have been dusting for 
the cotton leaf worm in the Tucson area recently. 
T. ?. Cassidy (September 7)-* The second' generation of worms has 
pupated at Sawyer Ranch. If the present generation of pupae is not 
heavily pe.ra.siti zed, some damage will be experienced. However, this 
is the heaviest infestation noted in the Tucson district. 
Texas. K. P. Swing, E. L. McGarr, et al. (September 7): A new generation 
of worms is beginning to show up in some sections of Calhoun County*

the Pecos Valley of Texas end. Hew Mexico and the Big Bend section of 
Texas are continuing to apply poison to control the cotton leaf worm.
