auto and by train from infested dis tricts. However, there are limits even while exercising every possible vigilance, in the scope of its work and to secure ideal results, the commis- sion needs the active cooperation not only of all agriculturists but of all the citizens of the state. They must have the cooperation if the great Pima cotton industry of Ari- zona is to be safeguarded.
 No shipment of seed, nursery stock, implements or farm belongings of any kind that are liable to carry insect pests should be made into the statA except upon conditions that may be made by the state entomologist's of flee and under it's direction.
 No cotton seed can be brought into Arizona without permit and inspec- ton, and none can be brought into the state from any infested district without violation of the law and lay ing the industry now in existence open to the ravages of these destruc- tive pests
 The state entomologist and his staff have but one object for being, and that is to serve the Arizona farmer and they stand ready at all times to aid him in the importation of seed plants, nursery stock and the like ir a way that will enable him to get what he needs in a way that neither imperils his own fields nor the fields of his neighbors.

 Entomologists are of the opinion that the pink bollworm, once well established on this side of the Rio Grande, would soon cover the whole southern cotton belt. Estimated dam age is placed anywhere between 20 and 40 per cent of the American crop, once infesIation is general.
 In 1920. Governor Hobby of Texas appointed a commission of eight men to visit the infested districts of Mex leo and make a first-hand examina tion of the depredations of this pest. The report concludes as follows: Tt IS the deliberate and unanimous judg- ment of this commission, based upon most thorough investigation, that the pink bollworm threatens the cotton industry of the entire United States, and we appeal to all the people to leave nothing undone that will avert the menace"

PREMIER STATES MISSION

 HAVRE, Dec. S-Premier Briand of France returned home yesterday on the steamer Paris from the arms conference at Washington. recep- ton was rendered in his behalf at the city hall
 The premier in an address outlined the results of his mission, which he declared had been most successful.
 'T went to Washington" he said, bearing a lawyers brief in plead ing the cause of France. The most mediocre lawyer could have pleaded it successfully. I have full confi- dence in the future"
 He left for Paris at noon.
 France could not have been ab- sent from a gathering such as that called by President Harding for re- lieving the military burdens which weigh so heavily on the people and which, after such cruel ar, called for relief" the premier declared.
 He referred to his speeches in the United States. in which he showed that when liberty was in danger. France had at all times fought for it and never failed in her task.
 In the last war, France had been provoked and attacked, he said. and it was only sufficient for him to re- call this fact in America to have the justice of Frances cause recognized
 T did not doubt" he continued. "the noble and generous American people. I knew well that every at tempt to disgrace France. to turn America away from us, to paint France as a perpetual 'kill-joy" and the cause of the uneasiness the world feels. I knew we'll that this all would be dissipated by a plain state ment of fact. But yet, I must say that at the solemn meeting it was not without emotion that spoke. for it was the tribune from which words reached the ears of all peoples.
 My emotions grew and added to my deep satisfaction when. having only stated the situation of my coun- try and pointed out the necessity to protect our security. which is the security of the world. I heard tre- mendous cheering; when I heard the noble representative of our ally. Eng land. saying France was in an excep- tional position. that she was right to protect herself. and that France never would be in moral isolation"
 M. Briand said that the represen- tatives of the other countries also had given him the same assurances and that Secretary Hughes declared ] France could not be isolated because she was the defender of right, liberty 1 and justice.
 The premier said he had not re- | jected any proposals made at the conference of an equal limitation | Concerning land armaments. he l added, the situation was definite. He i declared he did not suspect the in- | tention of the leaders in Germany and did not desire to believe they were leading their people toward 'the 1 temple of war"

had been sympathetically received in Washington and that when he left there "some of the prejudices, some of the errors which alignant pro- paganda had impressed on certain minds had cleared away"

ed. Louisiana is waging a manly fight against this pest, and has 1t almost stamped out, according to re- ports.
 Word received just last week from the federal horticultural board states that the pink bollworm has now in-
 aded the greatest of the cotton-pro- ducing sections of Texas. The pest has been found in the vicinity of En- ris, Ellis county. This county is not only the largest producer of cotton in Texas, but has within its borders a number of the largest cotton seed farms in the south. Unregulated shipments of cotton seed for planting purposes are responsible for the spread of the pest to this region, the infestation apparently originating in seed shipped from Carlsbad. N.

Two great menaces to the Ameri- can cotton crop are stalking through the southern states at a rapid rate One has already spread to practically every part of the southeastern cotton belt, and has defied practically all efforts to. keep it under control. It is the Mexican cotton boil weevil, which prevents the squares from ma turing. The ravages of this pest dur Ing the growing season just past have so reduced the cotton crop of 1921 mat it is necessary to go back to the middle sos of the last century, near ly forty years ago, to find its parallel.

Progress Through The South 1 Of Menace To Cotton Industry

The second great menace, like its predecessor, halls from Mexico. and has only recently stalked across the border. It is the pink bollworm, an insect which destroys cotton in the boll. Although a newcomer, its ad- vances have been rapid in spite of the fact that vigorous warfare has been waged against its spread by the fed eral horticultural board. It now in- habits the whole of the Fl Paso irri- gation district. This Fl Paso district is a narrow strip irrigated by the Elephant Butte dam. The upper DOT ton is in New Mexico; the lower DOT

Later, when the pink boll- worm invaded West Texas, it was considered in the quarantine regula- tions adopted by the Arizona com mission of agriculture and horticul- ture- Embargo was placed upon cot ton seed and seed cotton, lint cotton, used gin machinery, used cotton bag ging and ties, used pickers' sacks and the like, that might carry the boil weevil Or pink bollworm-

The wisdom of Arizona's $ cotton seed quarantine, which pro- hibits the movement of cotton seed rom one planting district to another, except under the strictest of regula- lions, is thus amply demonstrated.

valley, was invaded in 1918. The smuggling of infested seed from the Big Den district is said to be the cause of this invasion into the Pecos valley. The pest showed up in the Trinity Bay district and in the vicin- ity of Hearne in 1917. Infested seed was shipped to an oil mill at Hearne i;
 cotton in the vicinity of the oil mill became infested. Three parishes in Louisiana were found infested in 1920, as was also a district in the vicinity of an oil mill at Shreveport, which had received seed from the parishes
