AS a result Of the conference Mr..

Several plans we're advanced at the
conference Monday to prevent the
spread Of the pink boil worm through
cottonseed and cottonseed meal. It
is believed that the infection is car
ried only in whole seed, hence the
double hulling is supposed to remove
one means Of contagion. It was sug-
gested at first that the hulis be put
through a superheating process.
