CAN CONTROL

MANS BELIEF
Pest Not to Spread AS
Did Weevil, Thinks
Expert Visiting in
Valley Now

SAN BENITO, May 17.-Possibili-
ty Of a spread OF the pink boil worn
through Texas and the remainder OF
the United States as the cotton boil
weevil spread thirty years ago is
considered remote by DR.. S. B. Track
antines Of the U. S. department Of
agriculture, who "a in the Valley
Wednesday.
DIR. Fracker was accompanied by
r. 4. Mcdonald. state entomologist,
and j.. M. Del Curto, state plant path
ologist.
DR.. Fracker told Of the work that
is being done in the Western Ex-
tension" section of West Texas. where
the most recent outbreak Of the pink
boil worn was reported, and also re
counted briefly a history Of the in
f~estation in Texas.
He mentioned that r. A. Hoidale,
in charge of the fruit fly eradication
work in the Valley now. was largely
responsible for the complete eradica-
ton of the pink boil worm in the
sections Of East Texas where IL was
first found, seven years ago.
Control and eradication methods in
the newly infested area, comprising
Dawson, Martin, Howard, Glasscock,
Midland, Ector and Andrews counties
in West Texas are about worked out
now, he said, and, since the infesta-
ton is light, there is every hope OF
completely eradicating il soon.
DIR. Fracker also mentioned the
move which has been launched to-
ward a general campaign throughout
the North American continent "a
completely eradicate the pest, as il
will remain as a menace to this coun-
try as long as it is in Mexico.
The federal expert mentioned the
fact that the cotton boil weevil was
found first in the United States near
Brownsville, in 1898, and that an ap-
preparation of $4,000 with which ia
eradicate il was deemed unnecessary
in the belief that the insect could
not adopt itself TO the climate in this
country.
Now the boil weevil costs the coun-
try many billions of dollars annually
in damage to the cotton crop.

HEALTH MEN
MAKE SURVEY
Malaria Investigation
Along Rio Grande
Is Begun Here

Two United States Public Health
Service men have arrived here and
are carrying on field and laboratory
work in connection with a malaria
mosquito survey which is to be con-
Quoted up the Rio Grande as far as
Las Cruces, N. M. The men are DR..
NJ. A. Barber of Greenwood, Miss,
and his assistant, w. II. w. Kamp.
DR.. Barber Is an expert in this
line Of health and sanitation work
and in addition to his government
affiliation, has worked for American
companies in South America in this
capacity.
Cameron county is almost entirely
free Of malaria and no special sig
nificance to this county is carried by
DIR. BARRIERS survey, according TO 10
cal health officers. DIR. Barber Is
cooperating with the local unit, re-
porting his findings and the county
is expected to reduce the malaria
that does exist as the result Of this
survey.
DR.. BARRIERS stay in this district is
to be limited only By the completion
Of the survey and then he will move
to Hidalgo county. Laredo will be
his next base of operations from
where he will 20 TO Preside. Fl
Paso and Las Cruces are his next
outlined surveys. He is TO remain at
Las Cruces and establish a perma-
nent laboratory.
During his work last year at the
headwaters OF the Rio Grande DIR.
Barber discovered an oriental species
of the Anopheles mosquito. the ma
laria carrier. This mosquito had
been found in no other part of the
North American continent so far as
known. DR.. Barber has discovered
this species here in addition to two
common American species. The
oriental type is found in Southern
Europe and Asia.
The Anopheles mosquito usually
lives and dies within a radius Of a
few hundred yards and speculation
as to how the Rio Grande foci Of the
oriental type came to be is being ex-
pressed.
"A large majority of the mosqui-
toes in this county are of the culeX
type. a non-malaria carrier" stated
DR.. +. w. Prothro, director Of the
Cameron county health unit. in con
nection with the local malaria stu
alton. Even the irrigation canals
are remarkably free from mosquitoes.
This is due to the presence Of fish
and minnows in the canals" he con-
cluIed.
