GULF PORTS
Department of Agriculture
Now Preparing Regula-
tons to Govern Trade
PENSACOLA NAMED
AMONG THE LIST
Preparation of Regulations
be Completed in About
Three Weeks Time
Washington Bureau
The Pensacola Journal.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 25.-The
Department of Agriculture is pre-
pairing regulations to govern the inn
portation of cattle from Mexico and
South and Central America through
the ports of Pensacola, Miami, Tam
pa and other. ports in Florida, Ala
bama, Mississippi and Louisiana, in
accordance with the provisions of
Section 9 of the Food Survey Bill.
DR.. Steddon, Chief of the Bureau
of Animal Industry, stated today that
the preparation of the regulations
will be completed in about three
weeks. More than the usual time
will be required to formulate these
rules because they must be approved
by the Treasury Department and
made to suit the purposes of that de-
partment which because it has con-
troll over all imports will take a lead
ing part in carrying out the rules.
The regulations will probably re-
quire that import permits must be Sc
cured by persons or firms wishing to
import the cattle, DR. Steddon said.
A still longer time may be needed to
prepare the regulations, he said, if it
is found that the government is not
in possession of information as to the
conditions of the cattle in different
locations in the Southern countries
and it becomes necessary to make a
special investigation to obtain the
information.
The importation Of tick-infested
cattle which are otherwise free from
disease, into ports of the United
States below the Southern cattle
quarantine line, for immediate
slaughter, is provided for in Section 8
of the Food Survey bill.
The importation of these cattle
| has been prohibited for a number OF
| tle-tick disease. About seven years
ago, however, Postmaster General
! Burleson, who was then a member of
the House of Representatives, OBJ
tanned the passage by the House of a
law permitting the importation of
these cattle through the Texas ports.
although that was not the intention
of Congress. The provision was
adopted by Congress ostensibly to
permit the Texas cattle men to pas
ture their cattle on the Mexican side
J of the line and bring them back home
| for slaughter. But the law was
! written in such a way that tick in
tested cattle have been imported
through the Texas ports and across
the Texas line from Mexico while
while they were barred from entry
at all the other Gulf ports.
While the food survey bill was un-
der consideration by Congress about
three months ago, several senators
and congressman from Louisiana,
Alabama and Mississippi called on

1915.
The grapefruit crop is estimated at
55, compared with 20 in 1916 and 6S
in 1915.
The pear crop is estimated by the
Department to be the poorest of the
| lot. 1t estimated the pear crop at
so percent of a normal yield, COM
pared with 35 in 1916 and 81 in 1915.
The department estimates the
peach crop will yield 45 percent of a
full crop, a slight increase over last
year when it was a, and much less
