THE CUBA REVIEW

AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL 



Prof. J. T. Crawley, director of the Cuban 

 Experiment Station, says that "if the citrus 

 canker gains a foothold in Cuba, they (the 

 growers) will have to find another market for 

 theu" fruit," for the United States will im- 

 mediately place a quarantine on all citrus 

 fruit. "Even .should imjiortations be allowed 



by the Federal Horticultural Board, the sev- 

 eral states," says Prof. Crawley, "would estab- 

 lish state quarantines." 



Great effoi'ts are being made in Florida to 

 eradicate the disease, and that state and 

 Texas are in favor of an absolute prohibition 

 of the introduction of any citrus stock.
