many places they are webbing up and

than usual, and as the pests have ap-
reared earlier than usual, fears are en-
tertained that the damage to the cotton
crop MAY bG serious. Where they are so
numerous it would be idle TO hope that
the crop will escape without great dam

Injurious in itself, is not without compen-
