Excerpt from Insects of Cotton in Hawaii The present interest in the possibilities of cotton-growing in these islands required that some attention be given to the insects which affect the cotton plant, for whether the crop can be grown profitably or not will depend in large measure on the extent to which the yield is diminished or damaged by insect attacks. Although it has been more than seventy years since the first cotton was planted in the islands, its growing up to the present time has not been one of the agricultural industries, and one attempt at least to make it so was without success. For the past two or three years, however, three varieties of cotton, Sea Island, Caravonica, and Chinese, have been grown experimentally on the grounds of this station with remarkably promising results. While the damage to the yield by insects was by no means inconsiderable, it was easily demonstrated that cotton of a fine grade and large yield could be grown under favorable conditions. The writer desires to acknowledge the assistance received in the preparation of this bulletin from cc-workers in Honolulu and elsewhere, to whom he expresses his warm thanks.
