Those who appeared lazy or negligent were severely punished, with over 13,570 fined for not reporting the appearance of the worm, and over 900 village heads and sheikhs for their people and their delay, and 659 laborers for fleeing.

Initially, the farmers pleaded against being subjected to strict measures, but they later became enthusiastic and eager to assist the authorities when the campaign succeeded and they understood its importance. The inspectors, who were initially met with some hostility, were later welcomed with open hearts everywhere. This served as a great lesson that facilitated future campaigns. The first news of the worm's appearance arrived in the second week of May, then its intensity lessened in mid-June and reached its peak in the first and second weeks of June. However, it significantly subsided by the end of the month due to the measures taken, and its spread was halted in many areas by the end of August. News arrived that it had disappeared from the entire country by the first of October. The areas affected by the worm amounted to 443,000 feddans (including 616,000 feddans in Upper Egypt). It appeared in many of these areas more than once, and in some, several times. The average number of cotton bolls reported as affected in Lower Egypt during the second week of July was 24,800, and the average number of people employed daily in their destruction was 106,500. Those who inspected the unaffected cotton and those who should have been monitored were under the supervision of a supporting administration.

When the cotton worm was abundant, it did not limit itself to eating the leaves of cotton plants but also caused distress. Its damage and delay led to further infestations until it became susceptible to another, more harmful pest, the almond worm, which only appeared in large numbers after the season had begun. This worm could only attack the late and least valuable parts of the crop in 1910 due to the early destruction of the cotton worm and the good quality of the harvest. An inspector, 13 deputy inspectors, and 36 assistants were appointed from December 1, 1910, to January 15 of the past year to combat the almond worm by enforcing the financial order to clear the land of cotton and flax stalks, and the weeds where this pest shelters in winter and feeds. All these measures, whether in cash or during that period, incurred costs. The Ministry of the Interior will also combat the cotton worm and the almond worm this year. Meanwhile, the new Department of Agriculture will conduct a thorough investigation into crop preservation and conduct experiments with insecticidal materials, continuing the work that had been initiated in this regard before the department's end. The most important recommendation of the committee regarding the organization of agricultural affairs was the establishment of a Department of Agriculture. The government had already preceded this by taking steps to implement this significant reform and then adopted it before
