Pink boll worm law debate ends in Texas stalemate
Texas House agricultural committee member recounts testimony from Federal Horticultural Board experts and Southeast Texas farmers. He argues the worm scare wasted 1.4 million dollars, notes 120 worms found with farmers rarely seeing any damage, and questions cotton bans and seed shipments from infested areas as overreaching. He cites court limits on eradication tactics and asserts the pest has caused little real damage while seed imports spread infestation. He urges restraint and constitutional safeguards.
