From the American
Cotton Association

While Louisiana is taking practical
steps to make determined fight a.
gainst the Mexican Pink Boil Worm
which has appeared in Cameron, Cal
casieu and Jeff Davis parishes, other
states realizing the menace threatening
them if Louisiana fails to control the
pest, have declared drastic quaran-
tines against Louisiana, and Florida
has appealed to the Federal Hordcul-
tural Board to declare a Federal quar-
antine against Texas and Louisiana,
covering not only cotton seed but lint
and Enters.
The American Cotton Association,
Louisiana Division took the initiative
in steps to combat the pest, and when
the action of the Florida Plant Board
was taken on March II, Chairman W.
B. Thompson wrote to DR.. c. S. Mar
latt, Chairman of the Federal Horticul-
tural Board, pointing out that such
drastic quarantine as prolosed by Flo
rida was unjust and unnecessary;
that this state was already taking steps
outlined by him and DR.. Hunter as
necessary to meet the situation, and
that a referendum of the newly elect
ed legislature was being taken on the
question of the necessary laws, and
compensation for the planters of cot
ton in the region to be declare nom
cotton zones.
Commissioner of Agriculture Harry
Wilson wrote Senators and Congress-
men from Louisiana urging this view
of the matter also.
This morning. DR.. Marlatt wired
Mr.. Thompson as follows:
Notice of public hearing to be held
bv Department of Agriculture in
Washington April 9th was issued yes
terday. to consider advisabihty of
quarantining all or portions of Texas
and Louisiana account of pink boil
worm infestaton. The occurrence of
this insect in Louisiana and its reap
pearance In Texas makes this action
necessary. 1t is my rope that the steps
already taken by Louisiana to give
full cooperation In control measures.
and particularly the prohibition of the
growth of cotton in the areas known
to be infested, will make it possible to
limit the restrictions under Federal
quarantine to such areas In Louisiana.

sued BY Dept. mailed to you today.

necessary legislation to combat the
pest, and all very few, favoring some
form of compensation to the cotton
producers who are thus deprived of the
opportunity of growing any crops.
On Thursday the Texas Chamber
of Commerce took up the question at
a big meeting held in Dallas. to con-
slider the quarantines that had been
placed against the state by other south
er states, and it aroused the authorities
to determined action to cooperate with
the Federal t,ltomologists. in eradi-
eating the pest from the infected
areas. The main question in Texas is
providing the compensation for the
farmers who live in the non-corten
zones. There is a law providing for
tbs compensation but NO apprpiation
was mad to meet 1t.
The failure to recognize the menace
at this time, will result in a worse dis
aster to the South than the boil wee
vii infestation. which could have been
prevented if proper steps had been
taken. The authorities are alive to the
situation. but reports from some sec
lions of the state indicate skepticism
which is most dangerous.

II Is known that city officials were
much interested in the statement OF
the grandmother OF one of the two
colored boys who were recently sem

and assault on Miss Pearlman. The
grandmother said that it was the in
fuence of picture shows of crime de-
tective work and that type which had
led her boy into the paths of crime
which ended up in his completely in
the Glendale tragedy.
There is at present no municipal
censorship of films in Chattanooga,
either for colored or white audiences,
1t is with a view to seeing what type
of censoring will best eliminate such
films as the murderers grandmother
assailed that city officials are delving
into the plans which have proven sue
