.THURBERIA BOIL
WEEVIL STANDS
A GREAT HEAT

PHOENIX, May 8.-The thurberia
boil weevil will stand exceedingly
high temperatures and extensive work
has been done in ascertaining how
long the weevil will live when sub
jected to temperatures of 145, 155 and
165 degrees f., according to the
monthly bulletin of the state ento-
mologist, made public today.
The experiments were carried on by
+. p. Cassidy of the U. S. bureau Of
entomology. 1t was found that in
alternating cells subjected to 145 de-
grees for periods of five, ten, fifteen,
twenty and twenty five minutes, the
number of live weevils emerging from
the treated cells respectively were
four, two, four, three and one. Five
cells were used in each experiment
Two lots of cells were heated to
155 degrees, and those subjected to
this heat for fifteen minutes found
all the weevils killed.
In experiments conducted by DR..
Charles Il. Vorhies and A. A. Nichol
Of the University OF Arizona it was
found that a period of 40 days dura-
ton is all that is necessary for the
thurberia boil weevil to complete an
entire generation. During a period
of approximately two months, an en-
tire second generation and some i'm
dividuals of the third generation were
produced Adult weevils remained
alive in the field until December g.
1924 (having been hatched during the
period from September 29 to Novem-
Der 24), and at that date the over
wintering stages of the insect were
present in the hollis.
1t was found also that the weevil
was able to escape from the domes-
tic cotton boil before the boil opens.
A series of bolls containing adult
weevils were submerged in water
from two hours to 81 hours, and all
the weevils survived this treatment,
"thus showing that the weevil might
be distributed by flood waters carry
ing thurberia bolls to cotton fields"
adds the bulletin.

State Quarantine Put
Against Oriental Fruit
Moth; Many Fruits Barred
by Dlsoatca A. p. Wire,

PHOENIX. May S.-To prevent the
introduction of the Oriental fruit
moth into Arizona, quarantine orders
have been drawn up and put into ef-
feet by State Entomologist Oscar c.
Bartlett Articles published under
his order were named as follows in
the monthly bulletin of the state
commission Of agriculture and horti-
culture:
"Any and all varieties and species,
including the Towering of peach,
nectarine, almond, apricot, plum,
cherry, chokeberry ounce, pear and
apple trees or plants or parts thereof,
including the fresh fruits, and all
boxes, barrels, baskets or other used
containers of these fruits"
The bulletin adds that the insect
exists in 10 eastern, middle-western
and southern states.
A quarantine also was put into eff
feet against all varieties of pecan,
hickory and Japanese walnut trees to
prevent the introduction of the pecan
leaf case bearer. rsaa8 .aT

Publ LISHED CORRESPONDENCE OF
u S. AND MEXICO explains HOW
NATIONS DISCUSSED LAND LAWS

and I beg of you please to under
stand that I am speaking to you
solely on the basis of friendship and
wish to avoid any criticism of pros
pective legislation of neighboring
friendly and sovereign state. 1t is
in fact to avoid even qualified sem
blance of such an attitude that am
taking this step and may ask that
this appeal be taken up by you with
the president of the republic for
whom we have such high regard and
esteem and deep personal apprecia-
tion of his high qualities formed dur
ing his brief sojourn in the United
States before entering into office.
AS long ago as July, 1924, notes
were exchanged by you and Ambas-
sador Warren in which it was agreed
to negotiate a treaty of .amity and
commerce between the two countries.
The impediments to the negotiation
of such treaty now no longer exist
and l venture to suggest to your ex-
cellency the opportuneness of begin
ming such negotiations now, in order
that a firmer basis for mutual re-
lationship, which can only rebound to
the advantage of the two countries
and their nationals, be formed. Please
understand that / venture to make
this suggestion in the most friendly
spirit possible. We are convinced
that a treaty can be negotiated which
will be fair and satisfactory to both
countries and of lasting benefit to
Mexico. 1 am not moved to make
this suggestion because of the pres

ent proposed legislation in Mexico
1T is, however, futile at such long
distance to attempt to reach any un-
derstanding with you in regard to the
effects of such legislation. Further
more, nothing could be further from
my Intention than to seem to wish to
interfere with the free course of leg
islation in your country There are
certain considerations however, which
must cause immediate concern. Amer
leans with acquired rights will ap-
peal to this government, which is nat
urally bound to do its utmost on
their behalf. The situation may be-
come extremely confused and we
must always bear in mind both the
letter and spirit of the proceedings
of the United States Mexican commits
sion, convened in Mexico City on May
IA, 1923. However, I do not wish to
enter into any discussion of this
matter and l venture to hope that
there will be no necessity thereof, as
l am loath to believe that the Mexi-
can government intends to take any
action in eontravention of that un-
derstanding The Mexican govern
ment surely has in mind the eco
nomic aspects and consequences of
such legislation. However, L do not
desire to assume the role of unin-
vited adviser.
Let us take a broad view of this
matter. My stand is that / dislike
to discuss details of the proposed
legislation, but 1 cannot help but
hope that nothing will be done which
will tend to affect the good relations
between the two countries which we
have so much at heart and make a
continuation of the mutually con-
structive policy initiated during the
presidency of President Obregon i'm
possible
I beg of you, therefore, Mr.. Min
lister, to accept this appeal in the
same friendly spirit from which it
springs and I await with interest and
confidence the response of President
Gales and yourself.

observations which are submitted in
the most friendly spirit, because L
feel that you are entitled to frank
expression of the views of my govern

anv room for misunderstanding be-

memoire of the 18th instant, my gov

any criticism of prospective legisla-

state, for it recognizes to the fullest
extent the right of any other govern
ment by legislation to regulate the
ownership of property as a purely do"
nestle question, unless such regula-
ton operates to divest prior vested
rights of American citizens legally ac-

foreign government, and 1T is only
because of the seeming imminence of
the passage of such legislation and
because it does so affect the vested
rights of American citizens and is in
contravention to the understanding
arrived at between the two govern
ments through their commissioners
that I am moved to make these re-

~ Aide-NIemoire
have transmitted to the president
the personal appeal that you have
thought well to make friendly to me-
in view of removing the clouds which,
you say, you perceive on the horizon
of friendship between Mexico and the
United States, without said appeal in
volving, in the least, a criticism of the
legislation which Mexico is at present
framing as a sovereign state. After
stating the aforesaid, you are pleased
to propose the negotiations of a treaty
of amity and commerce between the
two countries, which treaty was spok-
en- of as long ago as July, 1924, be-
cause you think that the impediments
to the negotiation of such a treaty
now no longer exist and in order that
a firmer basis for mutual relationship
between the two countries be formed.
YouA add, again, that the proposition
of the treaty is in no way connected
with the legislation now pending in
Mexico.
You state that there are certain
considerations, however, which must
cause immediate concern, and you re-
fer to- Americans with acquired rights
who will appeal to your government
which is naturally bound to do it's
utmost on their behalf. In view OF
that, you believe that the situation

Aide Memoire of the government OF
the United States delivered by Ambas-

ter of foreign relations on November
| 27, 1925.
Since my aide-memoire of November
In, l have been advised that the bill
regulating, fraction 1 of Article 27 of
the Mexican constitution has passed
the chamber of deputies and a copy
of the bill in the form in which it
was passed has reached me. In these
circumstances, I am moved to renew
the sentiments expressed in the said
aide -memoire and at the same time to
present some further considerations
bearing more directly upon the pend
ing legislation which was there only
incidentally referred to for purposes
of illustration.
[ think I should not be acting in a
truly friendly spirit if I were to re-
frain from advising you that this BILL
proposed as it is by your government
and passed by the chamber of depu-
ties is viewed with genuine apprehen-
sion by many if not all American hold
ers of property rights in Mexico And
should be less than sincere if l did
not say OF you a this time that in my
judgment such apprehension is justi-
fled Numerous appeals and protests
have been, and are being, received
by me. An examination of the bill in
it's present form enforces the convic-
tion that in certain of its features the
measure operates retroactively with
respect to American property inter-
ests in Mexico and that it's effect upon
them would be plainly confiscatory.
Rights which have become vested by
virtue of the laws and constitution
of Mexico existing at the time of ac
ouisition would be seriously impair
ed, if not utterly destroyed. without
here entering upon a detailed analy-
sis, let me indicate some of the prin-
