VAN Dimes WORK
IN TEXAS DISTRICT

Dallas Morning News.-Because Of
the increasing insect damage being
done to sugar and rice crops in the
Southern States the government has or
dered Prof. D. L. Van Dine, now Of
Hawaii, to make thorough survey of
the present conditions in the South. and
render a report to the Department of
Agriculture.
Advice to this effect was received
from Washington yesterday by DR.. w.
D. Hunter, in charge Of the local Blu
reau of chronological station. Prof
Van Dine will have his headquarters
in Dallas, and arrangements are now
las for housing his experimental appa-
ratus.
The Hawaiian expert will be the only
government man working on the prob
lem of insect ravages on rice and sugar
cane, and on account of his long expe-
rlence In the islands studying entomo-
logical Investigations Prof. Van Dine is
expected to map out direct course of
action for the government. Dr. Hunter
said yesterday that Prof Van Dine is
the only man in the world equipped for
the duties.
The trouble with insects feeding on
sugar cane and rice is only late thing,
and on this account there are practical
ly no entomologists or experimenters
who are familiar with the different
species of insects. Nor is anything
known as to what and how many kinds
of insects are preying on the cane crops.
All these things are to be determined
by Prof Van Dine in his survey or
Investigation, and afterwards some
method of attack viii be planned out
The most serious damage to sugar
and rice crops is now being done in
Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Florida
and some parts of Texas. The govern
ment hopes to partially check the on
slaughts of the pests by the end of
this year.
