In some fields, growers could
•pend five or ten cents an acre to
eliminate stalks that have sprouted
from the 1939 crop roots following
eradication efforts and still collect

pliance and collect this money,

The program in Mexico is about
•s far advanced as last year. F or
a time Mexican authorities were
ahead of the Americans but heavier
rains were experienced south of
the river than in the Valley and
delayed the work more during the
later stages. Curl reported.
Rains over a longer period also

•rca but stalk destruction work is
very well advanced there, it was
reported.
Plan Effective
The infestation in the Big Bend
area is lower than in 15-years due
to the two-year plan carried out ■
there The plan provided for early
harvest of cotton and destruction
of stalks one season and delayed
planting of the succeeding crop the
following spring, creating a longer
host free period. Due to seven
of winters there this was found
very effective.
D. M. McEachern of the pink boll
worm quarantine office in McAllen,
said that quarantine regulations are
continuously in effect and not sea-
sonal Such regulations have been
• in effect in the Valley since 1936
requiring sterilization of seed and
compressing of lint b<fore it can
be shipped out of this area. Cotton
sacks, trucks and other equipment
moving out of the area are inspected
•nd recently new regulations were
promulgated which would prevent
movement of green okra from these
counties except from inspected
fields. Okra seed must be steri-
lized. Okra is a relative of cotton
and pink boll worms accept it as
a host plant only as a last resort
when cotton stalks are not avail-
able.

Here's how the map of Europe looks after the Russo-German partition agreement. Germany,
swollen by previous territorial gains, now will have a common frontier with the Soviet—and. of
course, more of that long-sought “living room.” It's nothing new for Poland. This is her fourth parti-
tion. Russia and Prussia partitioned her twice before; Russia, Prussia and Austria once.

HARLINGEN—There will be only
• small cotton acreage not in com-
pliance by the time the state dead-
line, October 1, arrives, it was re-
ported Saturday by L. F. Curl, as-
sistant chief of the pink boll worm
division of the U. S. bureau of en-
tomology and plant quarantine in
charge of the cleanup office here.
The federal agency has been anx-
ious to speed up the stalk destruc-
tion program well in advance of
the state deadline because of the
more effective eradication accomp-
lished through early cutting, burn-
ing and plowing of stalks. Growers
were paid for co-operating with the
federal program by destroying stalks
early but the state law provides a
penalty for leaving stalks after
October 1, that are capable of har-
boring the pest.
“There has been considerable
work since September 15 on the part
of growers to get in compliance and
there will be only a small acreage
which will not be in compliance
with state regulations October 1,"
Curl said.
Cooperation Given
Administration of the state iaw
Is in charge of H. B Edwards of
McAllen, at whose discretion charg-
es may be filed against those who
have failed to comply.
A number of people were this
week still making a determined and
conscientious effort to get in com-
pliance and Curl said his organiza-
tion w>as pleased with the nearly
100 per cent cooperation of resident
owners.
“Not • single field of cotton in
Willacy county has been left un-
plowed” Curi reported. “A very
small percentage of unplowed fields
•re left in Cameron county and the i
Mme is true of Hidalgo county I
where there has been great im- ,
provement over September 15.'
