Department of Agriculture Has
Called Conference In Wash
ington for May 16 to Dis
cuss Ravaging Pest
BY HUGH w. ROBERTS
Washington Bureau Tho Age-Herald
500 Davidson Building

Washingto ton. April 15.-(Special.)--
The United states department of agri-
culture is issuing a call for a confer
ence of persons and interests related
to the cotton industry to be held in
Washington May 16. The purpose of
the conference is to consider how best
to protect the cotton industry against
the, pink bollworm, the most dangerous
of cotton pests
This pest entered the United States
from Mexico in the fall of 1917, ap-
pearing first in Texas. Prompt meas
ures were taken to beat it back, and
about $4,000 900 have already been ex
pended by the federal government
With the complete cooperation of
the states invaded, there seemed to be
a fair chance of graduating the insect.
Unfortunately, the state of Texas has
failed to provide for such adequate
quarantine and control work as IS re-
garded absolutely necessary by the
scientists of the department of agri-
culture and, because of this lack of
full cooperation, there is now great
dar ger that the pest will be dissent
mated throughout Texas, which means
in course of time throughout the cot
ton belt.
The department is now considering
quarantine measures which will check
the invasion from Texas to the great
est possible extent, and the purpose or
the conference is to consult with dele
gates from other states interested be.

With news reports of unprecedented

They cannot convince themselves that

average citizen is becoming a manu-

But the fact remains that grape

market Consul Smith. at Malaga. for
instance. officially reports that 10 per
cent more grapes, some 22,000,0O0
pounds. were shipped to the United
