EXPERTS SAY NO DANGER OF
FRUIT FLY COMING TO ARIZONA

The finding of Mexican fruit flies
in two small packages of plums, as
told exclusively in the Nogales In
tepnational about two weeks ago.
has spurred both the United States
and Mexican governments to action
and every precaution is being taken
to eradicate the pest and to pre-
vent its being brought across the
border.
THE Mexican fruit fly does not
attack vegetables" declared A. w.
Morrill,, consulting entomologist of
the Mexican West Coast Vegetable
association, who was in Nogales
Wednesday comforting with officials
of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture here. In view of the fact
that plums, oranges and other fruits
on which the fruit fly thrives are
not admitted into this. country from
Mexico, there is no danger of the
pest coming into Arizona, Morrill,
pointed out.
The following statement was Civ
en- out by F. j. B. Gonzalez, secretary
Of the Agricultural Chamber of the
West Coast of Mexico, regarding
the fruit fly:
Much has been printed lately
about the appearance of two iSolat-
ed cases of the larvae of the Mex
ican fruit fly on some pluras from
Mexico, but nothing has been said
about what is being done by the
Mexican Government for the con-
troll of such plague. /!
I'VE must emphasize the fact that
the larvae was found on very small
quantities of plumS brought in by
passengers in Pullman cars, or
bought in Nogales, Sonora, from the
local market.
THE plague, SO far, has not been /
Nogales international., 1930-07-25

found on any commercial shipments
of fruits or vegetables from Mexico
Furthermore, the Mexican Fruit
fly will attack plums and other de-
ciduous fruits but will not attack
vegetables. Plums and other deci-
duous fruits are not allowed into
the United States, SO there is no
danger of this plague invading Ari-
zona.
"The Mexican Government has
taken immediate steps to control
the plague at it's source and rigid
inspection of all fruits and vege-
tables for the Nogales, Sonora, mar
ket is being made"
