Extensive precautions were taken to eradicate the pest, but the bollworm attacked growing cotton during the last season In Kleberg. Nueces and San Patricio counties, outside the valley. Stalks Cleared Away. South Texas farmers cleared their fields of cotton stalks under supervision of C. M. McEachern of McquarAllen, head of the federal-stat- e antine office of the valley.

Del Curto said It had not been learned how the pest had spread last season to Kleberg, Nueces and San Patricio counties, which lie 175 miles from infested areas in the valley. There has been no infestation between the valley and the new ' counties. Until recently the United States coun-trg was the only tn the world free from the pink Unless the pest is controlled. entomologists assert, an entirely new economic crisis will face the South.

It seemed to him that he just couldn't live without little Miss Nanny. He wanted to take her right home with him. He told her so. He told her that she was the most beautiful Meadow Mouse in the world, and a lot more foolish things which were very pleasant to hear.
