SITUATION IN OTHER INFESTED AREAS 
Intensive gin-trash inspections were carried on in the Midland, Tex., district 
during the season, two machines being operated at the peak of the ginning 
operations. In addition, field inspection was performed in Ector and Andrews 
Counties, where the cotton acreage is too small to support a gin. A supply of 
bollies was also collected, and the examination of these has already been com- 
pleted. All results in the Midland district were negative. In the remaining 
districts only enough gin-trash inspection was performed to obtain accurate 
information as to the degree of infestation. It was found that the infestation in 
El Paso County was heavier than ever before, but in the remaining districts it 
was lighter. Hand inspection of gin trash in the Juarez Valley of Mexico, which 
is adjacent to the El Paso Valley, showed that infestation in this district was also 
heavier than last season. The number of bushels of gin trash inspected and the 
number of specimens collected in each of the districts under regulation are given 
in table 6.

INSPECTIONS OUTSIDE OF REGULATED AREAS 
During the two previous crop seasons, inspections in States east of the Missis- 
sippi River have been limited to laboratory inspection of green bolls. The finding 
of pink-bollworm infestation on wild cotton in southern Florida, previously men- 
tioned, made it necessary to do more thorough scouting in these States, and a 
separate inspector was accordingly stationed in. Alabama, Georgia, and Missis- 
sippi, and one inspector for North Carolina and South Carolina combined. In 
addition to gin-trash inspection, these men collected green bolls and bollies for 
laboratory inspection and did a small amount of field inspection. In addition to 
these States, gin-trash inspections were also made in Arkansas, Louisiana, Ten- 
nessee, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and California. A machine was also operated
