FIND NO TRACE
OF FRUIT FLY
E~ntomologist Satisfied
That Pest Has Been
Eradicated

That the Mexican fruit fly has been
completely eliminated from the Val
ley is the opinion of James Zetek,
government entomologist who direct
ed the Valley cleanup campaign last
fall and who is now at the head OF
the governments chronological work
in the Canal Zone.
In a letter to Judge o. c. Dancy,
Mr.. Zetek states: every report !
have received so far states that no
specimens have been found in the
Valley. This is far better than most
people had anticipated, but you viii
remember that | made such a predic-
ton before / left the Valley.
81 cannot help but think that the
outbreak of this insect in Texas was
a direct benefit to the people of the
Valley because it made them realize
that they had something worth fight
ing for, and as a result better care
will be taken OF their orchards and
