SUBSIDY FOR
COTTON MEN
is PROPOSED

AZ q llea-l- OF removing All danger
90 american cotton from the pink
bon worm pest in the IsaEuna district
Of Mexico the American government
VIII be asked 70 pay the Mexican gov
eminent enough money 20 get the
growing Of cotton in that district
utcpped for at least two years. This
method OF disposiuE OF a menace is
Being seriously discussed among
southern and southwestern cotton
growers. according TO Il c. Stewart
manager Of the FL Paso county farm
bureau.
The method OF procedure may be 10
have the American state department
take the matter up with the Mexican
foreign minister. Through him the
cotton growers in the LaEuna district
would be- asked 20 grow corn % some
other grain instead Of cotton The
difference between what the plant
ers would realize from grain and
what they have been getting from
cotton would be paid them IN cash or
made up On some other way. This
sum, then, would be paid 20 Mexico by
the United states in money, OF in
cotton il the Mexican government
wanted cotton Tor the couutry-'s mills
% take the place o. the cotton grown
in the Laguna district that could be
supplied BY the United States in lieu
~ money, 10 American cotton would
be acceptable, 70 was said.
Means 100000 Bale Cut.
n the Mexican government accepts ]
the American proposition, and e IS
believed 90 VIII. IN view Of the fact l
THAT the ravaEes OF the boil WeeTil I
in the Laguua district are hurting 4
Mexico as well as threatening Ameri-
can cotton. 10 would be cutting down 4
the Mexican cotton crop by anoutr
10000 bales. That would be worth /
about f10.00l.t00. The cost 10 the
United States OF such a concession by I
lIeLic0 would probably be assessed
against the cotton industry This,
ure bT putting Mexican cotton out OF
competition and by the lifting Of all
quarantine regulations on the Ameri-
can crops along the border
