PINK BOIL worm
being CHECKED,
STATES REPORT

The pink boil worm recently discov-
cred in the northern part of Cochise
county is being rapidly exterminated,
according to a bulletin issued by the
United States department of agricu7-
ture. Immediately after the discovery
of the bollworm in Arizona a force of
about 80 agricultural inspectors were
sent to check the increase and depre-
dations of the worm The bulletin of
the agricultural department. is as fol-
lows
The pink bollworm has recently
been determined to be rather widely
scattered in Cochse and Graham coun-
ties, southeastern Arizona Forum
ately, the infestations are confined to
small, recently developed irrigation
districts remote from the important
cotton producing areas in Arizona,
particularly the Salt riyer district.
Cleanup operations are now under.
way similar to those employed in east
Texas in 1916 and western louisiana
in 1920, which apparently resulted in
Wiping tut infestations in these states
which We're much more widespread and
important than those now under con- /
sideration.
I'm view of the isolation of the Ari- !
zona infestations and the limited areas
involved, the possibility of effecting
eradication is believed to be much
more favorable even than it was in |
Texas and Louisiana. Some 80 federal
inspectors are now engaged in deter
mining the extent of the infestation'
in the state and in directing cleanup
work
Federal quarantine action on ac-
count of the pink bollworm in Arizona
will be deferred until the surveys re- /
ferred to have been completed. In the
meantime. quarantine officials of that
state are cooperating with the United
states department of agriculture in
preventing the movement of all cotton
products out of the infested areas"

CONTRACT FOR, WORK
ON TOMBSTONE ROAD
LET BY SUPERVISORS

The contract for the construction of
shoulders to the ten miles of pave
ment on the Tombstone Douglas high
way has been awarded to Paiblen and
Hooker, contractors of Palo Verde, ac-
cording to announcement of John Hart,
county supervisor The figure of the
successful bid on the work was $19,-
2460S
The state will furnish materials
amounting to $14025.45 on the job.
With 10 per cent, or $3,327.15, added
for engineering and contingencies, the
total cost will be $36,598.6S. Shoulders
five feet wide are to be constructed on
each side of the pavement. The con-
tract also includes the widening of
several culverts and other drainage
structures on the road The work is a
federal aid job.
This project Improvement was ad-
vocated very strongly by the Tomb
stone commercial club because of the
necessity for protecting the pavement
from both breaking on the edges be-
cause of the fact that the paving COW
ers the entire surface of the roadbed;
secondly, it was not properly drained

of lack of funds at that time; and
thirdly, it is needed to take care of in
creasing traffic; and fourthly, because
Uncle Sam participates in this i'm
provement. The board of supervisors
approved the project Improvement
long ago, and the state highway de-
partment secured federal aid on it and
then called for bids as soon as pos
sible. Work will start at once, but will
not interfere with traffic There will
be no detours during the work.
