ply tor nn Injunction to prevent tho
government experts bringing the
Guatemalan ant to Texns as an Insect
enemy ot tho boll weevil.
"To my mind" said Mr. Clark "it
Is a serious and dangerous matter to
transport a Soutn American Insect
or pest to South Texas. One-half the
cotton Is picked by tho negroes who
do not wear enough clothes to make
a whole shirt and the other half by
bare-footed children this ant to bo
of avail In destroying tho weevil
must cover the entire field nnd any
ono who hns had a few or tho native
ants to sting him will realize that It
will be 'Impossible to get the cotton
