Brownsville Attorney Talks
On Three Navigation Dis
tricts in Valley

HARLINGEN. June Navigation
districts organized under new laws
OF the state Of Texas have many
advantages which those organized
under previous laws do not have,
it was pointed out here before the
Rotary club Friday by Judge II. L.
Yates Of Brownsville. one Of the
attorneys for the Brownsville nayi-
cation district.
Judge Yates was the principal
speaker at the club meeting by in
vitation OF the club. and was intro
duced by DR.. j. NJ. Green. vice pres
ident, acting as president OF the
club.
The Brownsville attorney, who
drew the special bill under which
the Brownsville navigation district
was organized, mentioned in pass
ing the three districts i'm the Valley,
and the three different navigation
projects-the Harlingen project. the
San Benito-Point Isabel project
and the Brownsville project.
He said that efforts had been
made TO unite the Valley on these
waterways, but apparently the re-
suits have not been satisfactory. He
complimented Harlingen people on
their progressiveness in organizing
their districts first. and in continu-
ing to push their project.
Navigation districts organized un-
der the new Lew. he said, have the
power 10 vote bonds to meet any
emergencies, including the erection
OF shore facilities. and other i'm
provements. These organized un-
der previous statutes. and which
have not changed. have only the
power to finance dredging channels
and maintaining them.

Florida fruits and vegetables from
original destinations back into the
prescribed areas which includes
practically all southern and western
states. Or. c. l.. Marlatt. head OF
the quarantine board. stated the
supplementary regulations would be
promulgated early next week.
WASHINGTON, d. C, June /
A public hearing to consider the
advisiability OF extending the Med
iterranean fruit fly quarantine to
cover each and every state OF the
United States will be held IN Wash
ington. d. O., at 10 a. m, June /,
1929, It was announced today by
the secretary OF state.
The hearing will be before the
plant quarantine and control ad-
ministration and the federal plant
quarantine board Of the department
Of agriculture in the offices Of the
administration at 1929 New York
avenue, N. w.
The object OF this hearing is TO
provide a basis for the better en-
forcement of restrictions under
quarantine 90 and amendments
thereto on movement OF host fruits
and vegetables originating in Flor
ida. The particular object at this
time is. by regulation. to prevent
any reshipments OF such Florida
fruits and vegetables from the areas
Of destination and utilization speci-
fled in the quarantine and amend
ments thereto into other sections of
the United States. 1t is intended
also TO furnish the basis for prompt
handling Of any points Of infesta-
ton which may later be determined
in other states.
Fly I'm Six States
In this connection. attention is
again called by the department 70
the fact that prior to the discovery
Of the Mediterranean fruit fly in
Florida. between two-thirdS and
three-fourths OF the citrus crop OF
that state had already moved out
through normal channels Of diStrib-
ution and dispersion. That such
movement has involved a distinct
risk has already been determined
by the finding of infested Florida
fruit in some half a dozen states.
Efforts to follow up all such move
ment from Florida and to have all
infested lots destroyed were insti-
tuted in cooperation with the
states concerned at an early period
in the campaign. and later have
been intensified by the mobilization
OF the state and federal extension
service and the very great enlarge
ment OF state forces.
Fly Spreading
II is further pointed out that
while a vigorous effort Is being
made by repeated and statewide
inspections. TO locate all points of
spread Of the fruit fly in Florida
and to destaoy all fruit at such
points. including a considerable area
around the determined infestal
groves, the fact remains that infes-
tations are being found at new
points-so far all contiguous to or
within areas already determined as
infested. This situation was the
basis for the amendment to the
quarantine of May 16 prohibiting the
movement from Florida Of host
fruits and vegetables to the south
ern and western states where there
Is a distinct possibility that this
pest may become established and
maintain itself.
The action now proposed would
strengthen the order Of MAY is by
protecting such southern ard west
ern states from reshipments from
the north, az articles the direct
shipment Of which from Florida is
already prohibited.
