 cotton z»)nes in I><)uisiann at Shrevep<»rt aixl in three southweHtom

spent twice as nuicli. I think our <'xpendilure. us I recall. .. .., ;..it 

 to exceed $.'» an acre, or one-third of wliat the State spent. In 

 Texas tlie $(30 does iM)t mean that Texas only spent $1,220, but 

 Texas made most of her reimhnrsemont of planters nefore this resolu- 

 tion was passed and it wa.s decided that it was not retroactive, so 

 that Texas failed to receive a lar^c payment which otherwise would 

 have heen necessarv under this resolution. 



Mr. HiTiiWAX. Vou say you spent $42,000 in Lnui-iuna for rcnn- 

 hursement in connection with losses <luc to enforced nonpnxliiction 

 of cotton i 



Doctor Maulatt. Yes; that wtis reiml>ursement to the fanners 

 and represented losses due to the establishment of noncotton zon(*s. 

 That means that the vState must have spent twice as much under the 

 terms of the resolution. I will be very glad to submit this data for 

 the record.

Doctor Marlatt. The plan for 1923 is not to declare noncotton 

 zones for any of the old districts in Texas next year, but all will ho 

 maintained as regulated zones. We are going to make the try-out 

 of growing cotton in all of those areas next vear. 



Mr. Anderson. Tlien is it gomg to be iiccc^>arv to contmuo this 

 $200,000 ? 



Doctor Marlatt. New infestatitm may be determined between now 

 and January. This is tlie best season for survey work. We are 

 doing very intensive surveying work throughout these Slates just 

 now, and that work will be continued until the lantl is plowed up 

 for next vear's planting, and there may be hndings between now antl 

 then. Tlie designation of that sum for reimbui-sement is of no spe- 

 cial signilicance, bccau.se it is spent, as iiulicated. only where nee<k'd. 

 For instance, this year we spent $42,000 out of thV S2(X),0{)0; the 

 rest is available to go back into the Treasury if it is not needed for 

 other purposes.
