PINK BOIL WORM,
WORST MENACE TO
COTTON, APPEARS
This Terrible Ravager of
Growing Staple Now in
Northern Mexico
DEPARTMENT TAKES
IMMEDIATE ACTION
Realizing SOuth's Greatest Industry
in Danger, Federal Officials
Prohibit Shipments From
Affected Territory

washington. November A--rhe pink
boil worm, most destructive cotton pest
known, has appeared for the first time
| in North America. The department OF
| worms had been discovered in north
ern Mexico. where their presence, the
department says in an official an
nouncement, constitutes one OF the
greatest menaces which has come to
the American industry in its history
Importation from Mexico of cotton
ton is prohibited under an order is
sued late today.
Officials of the department were unable
to explain how the pink boil worm hap
pened to be imported to North America.
1t is presumed, however, that the pest
came in seed imported to Mexico from
abroad.
DEPARTMENTS STATEMENT
Discovery of the worm was announced
in the following statement:
'grhe pink boil worm, the most destruc-
tive of known pests of cotton, has been
discovered in the Laguna district, Goa
hula, Mexico, within 200 miles of the Tex
as border.
amendments to the quarantine orders
and regulations, effective Immediately,
have been promulgated by the Secretary of
Agriculture, prohibiting the Importation
into the United States of cototn seed,
cotton seed hulls and seed cotton from
the territory in Mexico from which ship
ments heretofore have been permitted,
and requiring that Mexican lint cotton
destined for the United States be i'm
ported through certain northern ports
remote from American cotton fields.
WELL KNOWN PEST
1.-THE pink boil worm has not been known
to exist on the North American continent
heretofore. The pest is prevalent in prac-
tically all other cotton producing regions
of the world, and in all sections where it
has become established has caused wide
spread destruction. Its establishment in
northern Mexico constitutes one of the
greatest menaces which has come to the
American cotton growing industry in its
history.
Every possible precaution will be taken
to prevent the worms from getting across
the border. All cotton interests are
warned of the danger which threatens the
and are urged to give the ut
most assistance to the federal authori-
ties in preventing any movement in vio-
lation of these amendments of cotton
seed, cotton seed hulls, seed cotton, or
cotton lint from Mexico into the United
States

WHY COMPARISON MADE

The Herald makes these comparisons
because it would not seem entirely fair
to incorporate in the grand totals what
amounted to a tenth of the total vote
cast in the SO states. California's share
was about one-tenth, and it showed an
overwhelming majority each week for
the republicans.

The annual report Of the Department

will reveal a steady increase In the me-

In the report II will be emphasized
that this work has come to be one OF
the most important efforts OF the de-

and labor and the general public.
More than 200 controversies have been
taken up by the mediators and .oncilia-

ganized. For the most part these have
been taken up In the last fiscal year.
The requests for the help OF the de-
partment in adjusting labor controver-
sizes are growing more and more numer-
Gus.
Officials foresee that in time the de.
partment viii be recognized as great
Government agency for conciliation OF
disputes. They have already warded
OF many strikes and have shortened
others.
More than a half million employees

have been directly and indirectly at
