PREVENTING THE PINK BOIL
WORM IN THE COTTON STATES

the Weld so per cent In addition 10
this the amount Of Oil obtained from
the seed is lessened from D to ~
per cent. The pink boil worm hlber-
mates in the cotton seeds IN the idr-
vac state. For this reason importa-
tions of cotton seed have been pro
hibited since May 28. 1913. Shortly
after the establishment Of the quar-
antine, several parcels Of cotton SEED
from Egypt were intercepted by Gus
toms officers and found to be heavily
infested with living larvae Of the pink
boil worm. 1t is not sufficient, now
ever, to prohibit importations of cot
ton seed because faulty ginning fre-
ouently leaves cotton seeds in bales
of lint. Investigations have shown
that Egyptian bales contained an av-
erase of 609 seeds each, and living
larvae have been found in some OF
these seeds. In the cleaning process
preliminary to spinning, these seeds
are removed with other waste and are
frequently used as fertilizer and for
other purposes 1t is common prac-
tice in the south for the trash from
the mills, which may include seed, to
be discharged upon grounud within a
stones throw of cotton fields. Under
the prevailing conditions it seems
proba BILE that to the small amount OF
Egyptian cotton used in the southern
| mills is chiefly due the fact that the
pink boil worm is not yet established
| in the United States. Immunity that
rests on such flimsy foundation can
| hardly be expected to continue long
