TAYLOR California border quarantine stations are® efficiently administered and have prevented the introduction into California of Plant pests ‘and diseases ‘which have (proved disastrous to agriculture in many other areas. The border inspectors, during 1936, examined 944,750 automobiles entering the state and _ intecepted 25,887 lots of plants or plant products infested with serious pests, or in violation of quarantine regulations. ‘ In highlight summary, such are ‘the findings of a special investigating committee of the State Chamber of Commerce, which recently concluded an exhaustive inquiry into “the value and necessity of border quarantine.” The committee found that— “Many serious pests established in other parts of the nation do not oceur in California, some of the. more important being the cotton boll wéevil, Colorado potato beetle, Japanese beetle, Oriental fruit moth, cherry fruit flies, European corn. borer, Mexican fruit fly ap,ple magot.” “California is surrounded by nattural barriers, including. deserts, mountains and oceans, so there is unusual opportunity for quarantines to ‘be effective.’’ “Annual costs to growers for controlling pests and diseases introduced into California bfeore quarantines were established are enormous, One instance: the red scale’ of citrus which is estimated to cost $1,100,000 yearly.”’ “Many California crops because of costs of land, irrigation and ‘transportation ‘return a narrow margin of profit which easily could be wiped out ‘by a major pest.”’ Most significant in the committee’s findings, perhaps, is the fact that only one pest—the alfalfa weevil—has been introduced into California since the border quarantine service was established, while during the same period nearly a dozen new ‘pests were brought nito other parts of the country from abroad. Seeking to improve the Plant Inspection Service and eliminate unnecessary inconvenience to the public, the investtigating committee made three major recommendations: 1 That adequate facilities be ‘travelers while inspection is being performed. 2 That border stations of the Plant Quarantine Service and border stations of the State Motor Vehicle Department be combined for the convenience of the traveler. (In many instances this has already ‘been accomplished.) 8 That an inquiry be made to determine whether the ‘baggage of people traveling on trains should be searched for contraband. Inquiries a ‘few years ‘ago indicated that this type of traveler did not present a sufficient agricultural pest menace to justify a special train inspection service. In conclusion, the committee found ‘that “border quarantines are of intimable value to the state, are being efficiently administered, and should be maintained at a high lever of efficiency.” Mr. and Mrs. Frank Crampton eame down from their mining property near Big Tunnel yesterday enruote to San Francisco to spend a few days.
