The boll weevil is to the detriment of the buyer of the cotton and not to the detriment of the producer of cotton under the uneconomic methods and conditions under which cotton is sold. This pink bollworm may turn out to be the same thing. Texas can not enter into an agreement with Mexico. and. therefore. the obligation rests directly upon the Federal Government to do three thingsone to guard this )order line. two to stamp out this enemy which has gotten by the Federal Government border protection. and the other to extend across quickly into Mexico. under treaty. and. if possible. eradicate this thing at its source in so far as we nre concerned. which is starting well on its march across the continent. The experts say that in their judgment it will be a greater menace than the cotton boll weevil. I thank you gentlemen very much for having permitted fie to speak out of order.
