SEED IMP0R TER
GETS $lO0 FINE
FROM MAYFIELD

After a trial which occupied the
attention of Judge Mayfield and Il
jury all day yesterday, verdict of
guilty was returned shortly after 6
o clock in the case of Alfred Way,
charged with bringing cotton seed
into California from Oklahoma, and
neglecting to report the importation
to the county horticultural commits
sioner. The court imposed fine
of Sl00
1.-THE case was most important
one, Horticultural Commissioner
Harrigan said today, "and we are
glad that a conviction was, obtained,
not that there is any malice borne
toward Way, but it shows that the
people of Imperial county believe
any one who exposes the cotton crop
to ruin should be punished. We are
constantly on the job to keep crop
infestations away from California,
and when we do not receive full CO.
operation our work is lust that
much more difficult.
Evidently the people of the
county realize just what might hap
pen if the seed planted by Way mt
Bard should develop boil weevil or
some other cotton pest. We hope
that it will not, but the danger of
the pest developing exists neverthe-
less. at3ys
''The field is now under the ilr-
isdiction of the state department of
agriculture, and every preeaution
will be taken to protect other cot
ton growers in the vicinity. The
boil weevil causes millions of dollars
of damage each year to the cotton
crop in the South, and our cotton
crop in California is practically the
only one in the country in which
the pest has not appeared. We in
tend to keep it so, aud for that rea-
son, infraetiops of the law must be
punished "
