W rtltra t'.apeciitll? fur The (.arttt- i Four huge fumigation plants, i:i which a whole train of freight ca::-; is disinfected in one operation, have : been erected on the border between j the United States and Mexico to : guard against the introduction of j plant insect pests harmful to farm j crops. j Some of the most destructive ; plant insects that ravage the crops of American farmers have come from j .Mexico, including the cotton boll-1 weevil and the recent introduction of the cotton pink boll-worm, an insect said to be the gravest menace that ever confronted American cotton growing. The American Farm Bu reau Federation has recommended to Congress that the pink boll-worm be given immediate attention. The Federal Horticultural Board, headed by Dr. Charles L. .Marlatt. chairman, is the control body which is intrusted with the administration of the Federal Plant Quarantine act All ports of entry have government stations where imported goods are fumigated if it is believed there is danger of infestation. I Just now the Mexican border is in the limelight because of the immense damage done to Mexican cotton by ; the pink bollworm, which has caused j as high as S3 per cent loss this year i in the Laguna district, the greatest, cotton region in Mexico. The in-1 sect has appeared in Texas, Louisi-i ana and New Mexico. I A special pink boll-worm commis-j sion appointed by the governor of j Texas made an official investigation ; of the Laguna conditions and report-! ed the damage found there to be not; less than 50 per cent of the cotton1; crop. At such a rate cotton could not ; be grown profitably in the United , States, taking into consideration the : higher wages paid in this country for! farm labor. Plans are under way for! stricter enforcement of border regu-1 lations and inspection laws. j 2 x HfflVV t LOWER Seed Prices for 1921 5 Our resource, a, FIRST HAND GROWERS enable, us to again offer our choice itriim of Vegetable Seeda at Pre-W'ar Price,.
