bARSUP TO KEEP COTTON PESTS
 OUT 1T ARIZONA
Attention Called to Quaran- tine Order Against Bring
 ing Old Picking Sacks into
 This State from Mexico
To All Cotton Growers Within the State of Arizona:

To All Cotton Growers Within the State of Arizona:
 The state entomologist in company with an inspector of the federal hortl- cultural board recently visited Nogales, the port of entry through which Mexl- can laborers are being imported into the Salt River valley for the purpose of picking cotton. The need for more stringent inspection of baggage and personal effects of these laborers was immediately recognized, and the crop pest inspectors were immediately ln- structed to examine and inspect the baggage of all such laborers. That the decision to inspect all such bag gage was fully justified was demon> strated by the fact that the very first inspection made disclosed several old sacks which had been used for picking cotton in Mexico.
 In view of the foregoing. and the ne- cessity for exercising every precau- ton that no old sacks used in the pick ing of cotton outside of Arizona be brought into this state, attention is called to quarantine order No. 15, which follows:
 Cotton Boil WeeviI and Pink Boil

 (b) That the importation of corn in the shuck or of Spanish moss from any state ,n which the cotton boil wee vii exists, or may hereafter exist, is prohibited.
