I know that those pests were imported into this country. and It was a most undesirable immigration. We want to keep the moths in the country where they are now. If they spread into the great portions of the Pacific coast they will do incalculable damage. they would destroy the forests in that part of the country and our fruit industry. The solution of the problem and the great salvation of the country Is that we can keep these pests where they now are. The bill is made up on that theory clear through. Wherever there is a problem of agriculture we provide the sinews of war to attack it.
