Appalling Accident Record.

Approximately 10000 persons were
killed In accidents during the 20
months of Americas participation in
the war with Germany, and more than
100000 men. women and children
were so seriously injured that they
lost more than four weeks Of time or
were permanently MANNED, according
to G. w. Price, general manager OF
the National Safety council.
The casualties from accidents each
year are twice as great as were the
casualties among American soldiers
sailors and marines during the war.

tial tone: "He has a little trick with
three cards that brings him in the
easy coin. He's smooth as grease, but
the things simple. oh. it's awful
simple Now you watch him for a
minute" and they watched through
an opening in the crowd about the
table. The player held three cards
two red ones and black. He passed
them about rapidly over the table, oc-
caslonally turning his hand sideways
so that the OnlOOkers could see the
position of the cards. Then he sud

had long been recognized, and regula-
tiOns were made by the government
requiring the fumigation of all cotton
from foreign countries before it could
be landed in the United States. Ev-
cry possible precautionary measure
was taken, but there came one thing
against which even the government
could not guard. The great storm
that ravaged the Gulf country in 1915
washed ashore around Trinity Bay,
and possibly elsewhere on the Texas
coast, great quantities of cotton lint
and cotton seed.
Nobody gave any special thought to
the matter at the moment, but when
the next year the pink bollworm ap-
peared all around the bay, it became
apparent that some of the washed-up
cotton must have come across the
Gulf from the Laguna district of Mex
leo, where the pest had gained a foot
ing some time earlier. That may not
have been the only source of infesta-
ton, but it was the one that gave the
greater part of the trouble.
An oil mill at Hearne had received
some seed from Mexico in 1916, and
the bOllwOrm appeared in few fields
in the immediate neighborhood Of the
mill. The infestation at this point
was entirely eliminated in short order,
however, by uprooting and burning all
growing cotton, collecting and burning
all scattered parts, the prompt milling
and destruction of the seed, and the
shipment to Europe Of the harvested
lint.
A mill at Beaumont, too, had re-
ceived seed from Mexico and had vio-
lated it's agreement to use it only for
milling. 1t developed that some of
this seed was sold to planters through
out a radius of 20 or 80 miles from
the mill. Each sale was traced and
the surrounding district included in
the cleanup operations.
But it was the washed-up cotton in
festation at Trinity Bay that developed
the really alarming situation, involving
more than 5000 acres of cotton sur
rounding the bay, and it was there
that the really big operations were
undertaken.
large force of experts and labor
ers-not less than 800 negroes-with
the voluntary assistance of any num-
ber of farmers and members of their
families, was assembled, camps were
established, and the cleanup was be-
gun on thoroughly systematized plan
that involved every inch of surface,
to make sure that no lurking place was
left for a larva to winter. All the
cotton grown in this area was taken
to Galveston under supervision and
shipped to foreign countries. All seed
was milled under the direction of gov
ernment agents. The work ended
with the whole area as clean as the
top of table.
The result naturally, was awaited
with much anxiety. In the spring Of
1918 the entire area was watched. The
planting of cotton was prohibited, of
course, and every stalk of volunteer
cotton was pulled up and destroyed af-

ter careful examination. At the end
OF the season the reports of all the
investigators showed that absolutely
no evidence Of the presence Of the
bollworm could be found.
But the success of the campaign will
not be regarded as absolutely certain
until two other summers have passed.
In the meantime the quarantine will
be vigorously enforced.
Prior to the discovery of the actual
presence of the pink bollworm in Tex
as the state, taking precautions
against it's presence not far away in
Mexico, had enacted legislation giving
authority to establish zone free from
cotton culture on the border of Texas
adjacent to Mexico. Since that time,
quarantine and cotton-free zones have
been declared in three areas.
The normal planting of cotton in the
largest Of these areas is about $4,000
acres and the inability to plant has.
OF course, entailed hardship on the
planters. Individuals-137 to be ex-
-disregarded the law and planted
some cotton, a total of a few hundred
acres. Legal action was taken against
them and they have since signed an
agreement to bear all the cost of clean
ing up their farms, under the super
vision of government inspectors, and
to leave the disposal of the cotton
grown absolutely in the hands of the
authorities.
1t is interesting to note that a con-
siderable number of these so-called
outlaw cotton fields were discovered
by aerial observation. Much of the
country in the infested areas is heav-
lily timbered. Roads are neither plen-
tiful nor good in many places, and 1t
was possible for an outlaw planter to
tuck away a few acres of cotton in
some nook of the woods beyond prob
ability of discovery by ordinary means.
This gave the inspectors of the fed
eral horticultural board the idea of
using airplane observers to spy out the
hidden fields. The scheme worked ad-
mirably, the first flight alone reveal
ing no less than seven outlaw cotton
fields which had escaped discovery by
all other means.
While feeling Of reasonable safety
is justifable as to the elimination of
the bollworm from Texas, the danger
of new infestation remains so long
as the bollworm exists in Mexico, and.
therefore, extreme vigilance will not
be- relaxed. All railway cars and 9TH
er vehicles coming across the line are
inspected, cleaned, and fumigated.
The disinfection of cars and freight
with gas from generators placed with
in the cars has been discarded as Civ
ing no security against insects that
might be resting on the exterior of
cars. DisinfectiOn houses have been
erected into which cars are run and
disinfected both internally and exter-
nally.
The question is now raised: Has
the recent Gulf of Mexico hurricane
brought the pest again to the Texas
shore? The storm ravaged the Gulf
shore from Brownsville beyond to
Key West. If the storm of 1915
brought the pest to the American
shore from Mexico, why should not the
same conditions now obtain?

leaves or grass or trash; forced to
sweep every inch of the 10000 acres
as closely as scrupulOus housewife
sweeps the kitchen floor and to sift
every pint of the sweepings as care
fully as a miser would sift dirt with
gold nuggets in it-there is a task be-
side which the. one of searching for a
needle in a haystack appears simple
and as requiring no patience worth
mentioning.
But that is exactly what the United
States department of agriculture, with
Texas did in the campaign for the
elimination Of the pink bOllworm of
cotton. 1t was done so successfully
that not a single egg, larva, or moth
of the pink bollworm appeared in 1918,
a result that appears to justify the
Characterization of the job as the big
gest successful chronological expert
ment of it's kind in history.
When it was first found that the
pink bollworm Of cotton had gained
States, the CONSERVATION that resulted
was hardly less than it would have
been if the discovery had been made
that German gunboats were coming up
the Mississippi river. But the con-
sternation was among agricultural
scientists. The general public did not
know the desperate danger. The scien-
lists knew, however, that, unless
checked, the little bollworm meant an
annual loss of not less than $5O,0OO,-
900, if, indeed, it did not threaten the
existence Of the cotton industry, and
their alarm was not materially less
ened because the infested area was
limited to small areas around Trinity
Bay, Beaumont, and Hearne, Texas.
For the pink bollworm spreads, not
by yards or acres, but by hundreds of
miles at a leap. The chief agent OF
dissemination being man with his rail-
road trains, the distance from Texas
to Georgia or North Carolina is no
great jump, and it probably would not
be a direct jump. The larva would

Mass and left in the litter at the
bottom of the car, which would then
go to Brockton for a load of shoes
consigned to Atlanta, and would final
~ get swept out on some siding in the
Georgia cotton fields
And there it would begin anew the
devastation that it has wrought in
Egypt, India, Japan, the Philippines,
Cey1on, the Straits Settlements, the
Hawaiian Islands, Brazil, Mexico, and
practically every cotton-growing coun-
try on the globe except the United
States. 1t is the most destructive of
all enemies of cotton, often reducing
the yield of lint by 80 per cent and
sometimes by more than so per cent,
and greatly lessening the quantity of
oil produced from the seed In the
Hawaiian Islands the cotton industry
has been practically abandoned be-
cause of it, and wherever it has gone
the industry has suffered terribly.
That is why the department Of agri-
culture, when the worm appeared in
Texas, thought it worth while to un-
dertake campaign out of all proper
tion to the area infested.
