The Enquirer to an insect pest that Is
doing great damage to the cotton.

make an examination. In each she'd
ded square he found a small hole that
extended into the bud, and In most
holes there were small green worms.
More careful inspection Of squares that
still appeared healthy disclosed, in
many cases, small eggs. and worms OF
different stages Of development up to
an inch in length. Mr.. Gauldin is not
certain whether the enemy he has dis

inclined to the opinion that II Is new
pest, The boil worm, according to his
knowledge Of that pest, works only on
bolls. This worm attacks squares be-

and also cats the interior Of the small

has been wrought in his fields and also
in the fields of several Of his neigh
bors. He has sent specimens OF the
