The floral offerings mare beautiful. i deepest sympathy is felt fmr the family 1 and all Who are madf pad by this bereavement* ZXt Cotton Flea Hop per Being Studied The most striking entomological feature of the cotton-crowing season of last year -was a widespread out break of the cotton flea hopper. Tliis damage appeared over the greater portion ol the Cotton Belt and was very serious during the early months, consequently it was neces sary to organize an extensive inves tigation of this comparatively new* problem, according to- the annual re port of the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department , of Ag riculture. The plant disorder caused by the flea hopper in many districts absolutely prevented the setting of froit v on the cotton plahts until the normal period of fruiting was very nearly past. Fortunately an /ex tremely dry summer and late fall permitted these plants to recover and make a late crop after the hop pers had left the cotton fields. Nev ertheless in many sections there was still a heavy loss of crop whidh cam be attributed only to the hopper. It has been found that this plant disorder is* not due to the activity of a single insect, but to a group of insects. Four different species belonging to related genera are al ready positively incriminated and perhaps other closely related insects will be found * concerned in the same damage*. A careful biological study of these insects is under way, as well as experiments in methods of coi trol. Fairly satisfactory results ha^ been obtained in most instances, destroying leaf hoppers through use bf dusting sulphur. There have7 however) been instances of complete failure, and the best results have been dolne on bright, hot, sunshiny days.
