Insect Domoge To
Cotton Estirnoted At
20 Per Cent OF Crop

Insect damage to the 1850 cot.
ton crop in Mississippi amounted
to approximately $101, 240, 900, de-
stroying ~ per cent of the total
harvest, according to an unofficial
preliminary estimate compiled by
the National Cotton Council, Bos-
well Stevens, chairman Of the Mis-
sissippi unit of the Council, said
today.
Insects kept approximately
43l,000 bales of cotton and an
estimated 177,000 tons of cotton
seed off the market this year Bas-
ed on average prices, this lint
would have brought Mississippi
farmers some $86, $4,000 and the
seed would have meant an addi-
tional profit Of $l5,086,0 00." the
Council spokesman said.
Throughout the Cotton Belt"
Mr.. Stevens said, ian estimated
16.5 per cent of the crop, valued
at approximately $598,565, 900 was
destroyed. In dollars and cents,
losses in 1850 were second highest
on record. exceeded only by l949
when damage amounted to more
than $6l7 million" n
Chairman Stevens announced
that the National Cotton Council
will hold the fourth annual Cotton
Insect Control Conference in Men,
phis, December 7-8, to discuss in.
sect damage in Mississippi and
other Cotton Belt states. This con-
ference at the Hotel Peabody will
bring together state and federal
entomologists, representatives OF
the insecticide industry, agricul.
tural education workers, and cot
ton industry leaders to plan ar
/ integra' ed program of cotton in
sect control for 1851.

are cur suggestions on rendering
lard and a simple way of adding
an anti-oxidant to lengthen the
storage period.
Fat should be rendered as soon
as thoroughly chilled, preferably
within "a hours. Ordinarily leaf
fat, back fat and trimmings are
rendered together, and usually
yield about IS per cent lard. Caul
and ruffle fat of internal organs
yield darker product.
For a high yield, cut fat into
small pieces, then run through
grinder, using a 3-16 inch plate.
