Description:Excerpt from State Crop Pest Commission of Louisiana: First Biennial Report of the Secretary, for the Years 1904 and 1905 The discovery, in July, 1903, of the boll weevil in a cotton patch upon the grounds of the Audubon Park Experiment Station, at New Orleans, forcibly attracted the attention of the entire State to a new danger which threatened the future success of her most important crop. The Special Session of the Legislature which convened in December, 1903, passed an Act establishing the State Crop Pest Commission, to consist of the Governor of the State, the Commissioner of Agriculture, the Director of the Louisiana State University Experiment Stations, two practical cotton planters and the Entomologist of the State Experiment Stations. The Act creating this Commission wisely vested in at the power of making and enforcing quarantine regulations to prevent the introduction and dissemination of dangerous insects and diseases of crops and fruits, and to investigate and devise remedies for such. This law has proved to be, undoubtedly, the most conservative, yet far-reaching, practical and effective law for the control of crop pests and diseases that has ever been adopted in any state or country. Following the approval of this Act, the Commission organized and held its first meeting at Baton Rouge on February 5, 1904.
