COTTON DISTRICTS IN
ARIZONA FREE FROM
PINK BOIL. WORM

= PHOENIX, Mar. 13.-The field
scouts of the federal horticultural
board have just completed tho
rough survey of the cotton districts
of Arizona. The scouts visited
practically every district of the
state and examined thousands OF
bolls in their search 70 rthe pest
which is considered the most men
acing to the cotton industry. Two
parties of three men each have
been engaged in this survey, the
parties checking against each
other in some of the larger dis
tricts. No evidence of the pink
Dol worm was found in any dis
trict and Arizona is again declar-
ed non-infested state, it is an
nounced by Oscar C. Bartlett, Arr
zona state entomologist.
The pink bollworm is pest OF
cotton seed. The young worms
bore into the interior Of the bolls
and feed upon the contents OF the
seeds. Frequently two seeds are
fastened together by the worm in
such way as to allow its passage
from one seed to another. Live
worms are also found in single
| seeds. This habit makes this pest
well adapted to transportation
with cotton seed from an infested
territory is extremely dangerous
At the present time some dis
tricts in Texas and New Mexico
are the only known infested areas
in the United States. The past
+, season the pest was again founc
near Carlsbad, N. M, in a regior

LOW ROBBERY RECORD LAID TO
 POLICE DEXTERiTY WITH GUNS

SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. A. lP)- Down here in the shadow of the old Alamo, folks generally and the police in particular have a reputation for be- ing quick on the draw and quicker on the trigger. But San Antonio, with a population of more than two hun dred thousand and a police department of 193, has not had a major robbery in five years.
 The remarkable absence of gunmen, safe blowers and others of that portion of the population is accredited to the fact that there are 25 men on the po- lice force who are expert pistol shots. The whole force, including the marks man medal-holding Chief T. o. Miller, engage in pistol practice at regular in- tervals. It is said that if officers were beaten on the draw" they would hand over their weapons in disgust.
 The 193 persons of the force which includes matrons and other attaches, patrol an area of approximately fifty square miles.
