QUARANTINE ON
Government Takes Steps
To Curb Spread of
Pink Pest
WASHINGTON, July 22.—1 n anj
effort to curb the spread of the pink|
boll worm in the cotton belt, the de
partment of agriculture has just au
thorized a quarantine, effective Au
gust 1, which will be applicable to
areas in Louisiana and Texas known
to be infested or suspected of pos
sible infestation. States authorities
will co-operate in enforcing the quar
antine, it was stated.
“The growing crop must be under
the full control of state authorities,”
the department of agriculture’s an
nouncement said, “in co-operation
with federal authorities, who may in
spect fields as often as necessary 1
and may require prompt destruction
of any cotton in fields that are found
to be infested.”
Enforcement of the quarantine
regulations will include, the depait
ment said, control over all cotton
seed grown in the quarantine areas.
State and federal authorities are in
structed to forbid the use of plant
ing of seed from such districts, and
to require its prompt milling within
the state and, if possible, within the
infested or regulated area where it
is grown.
All cotton seed mills are to be
disinfected at the mills, quarantine
regulations priovid/e. All forms of
lint cotton also are placed under
joint control of state and federal au
thorities.
Cotton from the quarantine area
of Louisiana must go out through the
port of New Orleans, and that from
Texas districts must pass through
the ports of either Galveston, Hous
ton, Texas City or Port Arthur.
The new regulations provide that

High Brow Reporters
Call Jigger ‘Chigoe’
ATLANTA, July 22.—N0 red
bug bites ever caused as much pain
to honest Gerogia carckers as did the
sight of the alpin 'word ‘Tigger,”
spelled “chigoe” by high-brow At
lanta newspaper reporters during the
last few days, and passed up by the
city editor and linotype operators.
Os course, there is such a word as
“chigoe” in the dictionary. But it
isn’t English. It is a West Indian
name for a West Indian flea which is
the same thing nearly as a Georgia
“jigger” or “chigger, as it is some
timse called. ...
i But there is no excuse for calling
a “jigger” a “chigoe” in Georgia,
for even old Noah Webster, who
was a stickler for such points, admits
that “jigger” is just as good spelling
and better English.
You can also find “jigger’ in the
Standard dictionary, and Plenty ot
them in any pine-woods where there
is thick underbrush. Nearly all Geor
gians have been covered with jig
gers” at one unhappy moment or
other in their lives, but has any rea -
ly-truly Georgia cracker, outside of
a book or newspaper article eve
complained of being bitten by
has, he must be the kind who
eats “whortleberry pie.”
