1914 - Hunter, W. D. Quarantine against the Mexican cotton boll weevil. J. Econ. Ent. 

 7(2):234-240. 



The author recapitulates the specific points in the life history of the Mexican 

 cotton boll weevil which justify legislation against it. He is of the opinion that 

 prohibition established by specific laws, on account of its inflexibility, is more 

 unsatisfactory than regulations formulated by boards under general authority, 

 which are better suited to the needs of individual localities. A summary is given 

 of the restricted or prohibited articles in the different southern States. 



In support of the prohibition system, the author states that since it has been 

 in practice, no sporadic outbreaks of the weevil have occurred in districts beyond 

 its range of flight from already infested districts. It is therefore likely that many- 

 introductions have been prevented and that the resulting good far exceeds the 

 temporary interference with shipping that the restrictions have caused.

Short illustrated article pointing out that the cotton crop of California- -at 

 present free from insect pests and diseases- -should be protected from the 

 cotton boll weevil and the pink bollworm by legislation enforcing quarantine and 

 inspection of postal packets, since cotton seed is sometimes sent by mail.

Contains the text of the boll weevil quarantine regulations issued by the 

 Georgia State Board of Entomology under authority of the Georgia-Quarantine 

 Act. The boll weevil line extends along points where -weevils were actually found 

 at the time of the first killing frost in 1915. The inspection of the U.S. Bureau 

 of Entomology in Alabama, Georgia, and Florida confirmed the correctness of 

 this line. The safety line is 20 miles and the quarantine line is 50 miles in ad- 

 vance of the actual boll weevil line. No person except the State entomologist or 

 his authorized deputy may lawfully have in his possession outside of the weevil 

 infested territory any living stage or any cotton square or boll containing such 

 stage of the Mexican cotton boll weevil.

As the cotton boll weevil is not known to exist in the State of Arizona and the 

 State has, therefore, declared and is maintaining a quarantine against the 

 entrance of this pest, it is declared that, until further orders, cotton seed grown 

 in the County of Yuma, Ariz., may be imported into California, subject to the 

 following regulations: Persons contemplating the importing or bringing into the 

 State of California cotton seed grown in the County of Yuma, Ariz., shall first 

 make application for a permit to do so, stating the name and address of the 

 exporter, the locality where the seed was grown, the amount of importation, and 

 the name and address of the importer in California. They must also obtain a 

 certificate in triplicate signed by the Entomologist of the State of Arizona, 

 stating locality where cotton seed was grown. 



All quarantine orders or regulations promulgated for the protection of the 

 cotton industry in the State of California are also directed against A. grandis var. 

 thurberiae and the pink bollworm.
