C, September 8, 1907. I was in my cotton crop to-day and found that some kind of insect was creating great destruction. I send you sample. Respectfully yours, Calvin Brock. Clinton, N. C, September 9, 1907. I send to-day cotton bolls ruined by worms—some of the worms are in the bolls. My cotton is very much hurt by them, in some places as much as 10 or 15 per cent, or probably more. Yours truly, S. H. Hobbs. Warsaw, N. C, September 19, 1907. I send some cotton bolls and a worm that is destroying my cotton. One can find thousands of them in my field, as many as forty on one stalk. Yours, etc., R. P.
