cotton industry of Matagorda
The proposed
I evue woico, woma pronioit tne grow-
[ ing of cotton within 25 miles of quar-
antined counties would take In all of
Matagorda County lying between
l.innville on the east and Tros Pala-
cios on tin- west The people Siust
be aroused to their interests and send
a delegation to Austin on the 20th, to
assist .1. F Wolters in properly pre-
senting the matter to the legislative
committees.
This is a serious matter and threat-
ens tlie progress and prosperity of
Matagorda County, by destroying one
of its chief agricultural industries.
We reproduce the following article
published in this morning's Chronicle
j und in which is sot forth the serious-
i ness of tlie matter:
"That the proposed pink boll worm
legislation, which Is to be submitted
to tlie legislature of Texas at Its spe-
cial session which opens May 20, will
in effect be a quarantine against the
i entire state of Texas and will cripple
the cotton industry of the entire state
Is pointed out In it statement issued
i hy General Jacob F Wolers
"The statement calls on citizens of
I Southeast Texas to attend tlie special
j session of the legislature for the pur-
pose of aiding the legislative comrnit-
j tee of which General Wolters is
chairman.
"General Wolters Friday stated that
Hie proposed regulatory measures
would not only affect the cotton In-
i dustry of the Southeast Texas coun-
ties represented on the committee, but
1 that it would also affect such cities as
Dallas. Fort Worth. San Antonio. San
| Marcos. New Braunfels, Waco. Ixmg
; view, snvder. Quanah and Giddings."
His statement follows:
General Wolters’ Statement.
"The impressing prevails that the
proposed pink boll worm legislation
will affect only cotton growers in a
few counties in Southeast Texas. Ref-
| erence to the bulletin issued by the
United States department of agricul-
ture April 10, 192U. shows that this
is erroneous. Briefly, tlie plan is to
establish a non-cotton area, covering
the regulated zone now in effect in
Southeastern Texas with certain ad-
ditions. * * » i'|iis zone involves
all portions of the counties of Jef-
ferson, Chambers. Galveston, Bra-
zoria, Harris, Liberty, Fort Bend. Jas-
per and Newton,
"Paragraph 2 provides: ‘In addi-
tion to and surrounding this non-cot-
ton area, as a regulated factor of
safety the state of Texas will estab-
lish and enforce a regulated zone of
25-miles in width. i
"Paragraph 3 provides: 'The state L ,,,
of Texas will establish similar reg-(Austin to co-operate with us in the
ulated zones of a 10-mile radius, sur- furtherance of the protection of Tex-
s •
The above statement is correct.

While tlie sweet Irish picture was
being filmed, with Theda Bara as the
star ,a thatched cottage was erected
und liberal atmosphere was provided
by a suppl yof live hens, ducks und
geese l< used from a New Jersey far-
mer. The hens, especially, ran true
to tradition and laid a plentiful sup-
ply of eggs Little did they realize
that they were picture actresses and
not obliged to lay for a living. They
only knew that, they had struck a new
borne where Mod was plentiful.
But eggs came under the head of
perquisites for jiarney, and for some
time the White household rejoiced in
cuke made witli six eggs, and eggs for
1 reakfast, eggs for dinner and eggs
for supper.

more, but it will probably develop that
many other points in Texas are In-
volved Thus the proposed pink boll
worm legislation will affect many
places in Texas, including practically
all of the great cotton and cottonseed
markets.
"It will not lie contended that pink
boll worms have been found in Hous-
ton. San Antonio. San .Marcos, Sny-
der, Dallas, lAort Worth. Waco, Quan-
ah, Giddings, Longview, New Braun-
fels and Cuero. However, if the
drastic restrictive legislation urged
by tlie department of agriculture is
enacted .tlie handling of cotton, cot-
ton seed and eottonsip’d products will
be made so difficult and expensive as
to naturally result in all cotton and
cotton seed prices being materially
depreciated throughout Texas. There-
fore. the proposed legislation mate-
rially affects every section and every-
body in Texas
"We are prepared to show to tlie „, . . . • , ■ —
satisfaction of any pra. lieal et „i """ l,lg l ,,x 1,1
men that the pink boll worm. If be i
exists at all, does nol now, nor ha I
he at any time, constituted a menace
to the cotton growers of Southeast
Texas, Texas or the Routh, and we
are prepared to show this from tlie
sworn testimony, official reports and
statements. We are prepared to show
that so far as the Southeast Texas
counties alleged to be infected are
concerned, the present regulatory sys-
tem is effective, and to establish a
non-growing cotton area or zone as
proposed will constitute an unneces-
sary confiscation of the property of
the citizens involved. That to com-
pensate the farmers involved, if that
can lie constitutionally done nt nil. the
•result would lie nn imposition upon
the taxpayers of Texas of nn unne<Jt>«-
sary burden involving millions of dol-
lars It is not even proposed to coni
pensate the oil mills that will either
have to shut down or opernte under
restrictions that will constitute a fi-
nancial loss.
To Bpeii llendqiiiirters,
"Our committee, serving without
Pny, proposed to establish headquar-
ters In Austin on .May 19, ip order to
present the real facts to members of
the legislature. Wo urge tlie citizens
of the sections now known to be af-
fected by any legislation enacted at
