MAY QUARANTINE THE
STATE OF TEXAS
Notice Served on Legislature of
That State By Department
Of Agriculture

ing that Texas will face Country
! wide" quarantine if the state at.
Iltempts 'half way" measures in
dealing with the pink boll-worn
pest was served on the legislator
today by Secretary Meredith OF
the department of agriculture in q
letter read at the opening of q
special session called to ratify a re-
cent agreement ,bewteen the ma,
tional government and Texas and
louisiana representatives.
The immediate needs, Mr.. Mere.
dith said in his letter to Governor
Hobby, after expressing regre.
that he could not address the ses
sion in person, way declaration OF
"non-cotton zones for the infested
area of Texas and the plowing ur
of fields already planted in such
areas"
'1 sincerely hope," the secretary
added, "that the legislator will as
promptly as possible make such
amendments to the pink7boll worm
act of 1919 as may be necessary tc
carry out the full program of ex.
termination, including provision fol
the reasonable reimbursement by
the states of, the planters concerned
for their loss"
At another point the secretary
said: "The lesson of the boil weevi
should not be lost to Texas and this
country. Failure to profit by that
lesson would surely bring upon the
cotton industry of this nation a
calamity which, could not be meas
ured."
Stating the departments position
and that of other cotton growing
states, Mr.. Meredith said; If Texas
should fail in this present emergen.
cy to carry out the program Of ex'
termination and adopting that some
half way course which would prac,
tically amount to giving up the
fight and leabing ample opportuni'
ty for the spread of the insect ir
Texas and to other states,. the de-
partment Of agriculture, realizing
its obligations to the other cotton
growing states, feels that it would
be remiss in its duty if it failed tc
do everything that is possible, with
in the limits of it's powers and au'
thority, to prevent the spread Of
the pest from Texas.
