TRUCK CROP INSECT INVESTIGATIONS 
F. H. Chittenden, Entomologist in Charge 
Sweet-potato weevil eradication will be continued in the States of Florida, 
Georgia, Alabama, and Migsissippi.s A cut of $26,000 in funds, however, has 
mads it necessary to discontinue active measures in the States of Louisiana 
and Texas, only a skeleton organization remaining theros C. fy Seith, in enarge 
of the work in Louisiana, has been transferred to Baton Rouge, assuming the 
responsibilities of the truck crop station in addition to which he will con- 
duct the final inspection on the eradication experiments in southern Louisiana. 
Me Me High will continue as heretofore in life-history work and insecticidal 
research in Texas» 
All inspectors in both of these States have terminated their appointments 
with this offices In Florida and Mississippi, where the greater part of the 
work is now being conducted, the draw distribution has been entirely completed 
and the work is now confined to the burning of hold=over potato banks and 
the inspection of old fieics for volunseer plantse The State Plant Boards 
of Florida and Mississippi together grew apor oximately 2,500,000 plants of 
twelve aifferent varieties, on which delivery was completed during June by 
ovr inspectorse A late, cold spring retarded the plant growth to such an 
extent that delivery was net completed as socn as expected and some difficulty 
was exnerienced in securing satisfactory plants in the required number from 
plantings under the supervision of the Bureaus @ number of plants having to 
be purchased outsides 
As matters now stand, a aweet- pot 
in these Statese . 
No volunteer plants have been found in the old fields in Florida, showing 
that the cleanuy measures following the narvest have been very effectives 
Very faw potavoes of last year's crop now remain 1n storage and the banks 
ato crop above the average is forecasted
