•'It has been through the activity of 

 the campaign that attention has been 

 drawn to New Orleans and, through er- 

 roneous reports, a rather unsavory repu- 

 tation has been given this section as 

 being 'bug ridden,' which I can state 

 emphatically is not warranted when the 

 true facts a're taken into consideration. 



' ' The quarantines noted in the article 

 in question were only temporary _ in 

 character and were immediately with- 

 drawn, when a willingness was shown 

 to get into line with the work. With 



the attitude of California, Florida and 

 Mississippi I am not concerned. Each 

 state has the right to enact laws for the 

 protection of its citizens, even if such 

 laws be founded on misconceptions, 

 rather than fact. The last-named state 

 is now receiving shipments. 



Would Upbuild Trade. 



' ' Through its geographical position 

 and itrs large import trade, New Orleans 

 has been held to be unusually situated 

 for the introduction of insect pests of 

 all kinds, while its subtropical climate 

 would favor their propagation. Yet, 

 during the many years I have studied 



insect life here, I can point to no direct 

 primary introduction through the port 

 of any foreign insect pest which be- 

 came establislied, with the single excep- 

 tion of the so-called Argentine ant, 

 against which a strenuous fight is being 

 made throughout the entire south. The 

 introduction of this pest harks back al- 

 most to the period when 'the memory 

 of man wotteth not to the contrary 

 tlioi-eof; at least, it may be placed 

 at a time when the economic entomolo- 

 gist was either unborn or only in his 

 swaddling clothes. With this exception, 

 such pests as may be with us can possi- 

 bly be traced to landward shipments.
