Hecke Stresses Imperative Need
of Strict Plant Quarantine For
Welfare of Cal. Cotton Crops

ot cotton seed direct from areas in
the south where the boil weevil oc-
rurs were taken, and in most eases
this cotton seed was brought in by
former growers of cotton in Texas,
oklahoma, or other southern states,
who were abandoning the growing
Of cotton in those states because of
the damage caused by the weevil
and were coming to q state where
that pest does not exist, bringing
with them a quantity of their fav-
orite seed without n thought that
it might be the means of introduc-
ing into California the very pest
from which they were trying to
escape. Live cotton boil weevils
were taken from one of these lots
of cotton seed at the Blythe station.
Unfortunately, the work that the
bureau of plant quarantine of the
department of agriculture is doing
to protect the cotton interests is
not as well known as it should be.
1t is only when one of the pests
against which we are fighting final
ly evades our vigilance and gains
foothold in this state that the
grower is brought to a realization
of the value of our work. The alb
solute necessity for quarantine is
indicated by the introduction of
the foot and mouth disease into the
San Francisco Bay counties of Cali
fornia. Certainly the animal indus
try now realizes the value Of quar-
antine.'
