DELEGATES ASK
FLY TRAP FUND
(Special to The Herald>
WESLACO, Aug. 3.—A committee
of five Lower Rio Grande Valiev
men left Thursday for Austin
where they will confer with Gov
ernor Miriam A. Ferguson in an
effort to obtain her approval of
their request for $2,500 with which
to purchase 4,000 fruit fly traps
for use in Valley orchards,
if The Valley committee was select
ed at a meeeting of citrus interests
here last week and A. T. Potts oi
Harlingen was appointed chairman.
Other com.T.itteeman were Jack
Keefe of Weslaco, F. T. Bingham
of Edinburg, B. F. McKee of Mis
sion, Harry Reuse of Mercedes.
Rouse, McKee and Keefe are to
make the Austin trip, and they
will be accompanied by Claude
Carter of Harlingen and Alfred
Lissner of Donna, who will present
t Valleys case to me governor. |
. M Del Gurto, state entomol
it who addressed the citrus
gathering result in appointment of
the committee, proposed an alter
ed plan of control of the fruit fly,
lack of which has shortened the
Valley’s citrus-shipping season for
the past two years. He will intro
duce a new type of trap for catch
fjng the fly, the traps to be scat- i
fered through the Valley's 75,0001
acres of orchards. A new bait will j
be used in the glass traps, which j
are shaped like a water-bottle, and
which are expected to prove much i
mere efficient than the screen traps |
used heretofore.
Extension of the citrus shipping 1
season by state and federal de-1
partments of agriculture will neces- I
sitate a more rigid fly control. Del j
Curio told the growers In advoeat- |
tag use of the greater number and j
improved type of traps for the:
coming season. He expressed the j
belief that the more numerous,
traps will enable the trapping of
adult flies and their eradication i
before infestation can occur on a '
large scale. '
