Cotton Damage From
Insects Down In 1952
Even Then Loss In Na
tion Is Estimated at
$289,768,000
Insect damage to cotton in i 952 was
SIOO million less than in 1951 and
lowest since 1948, the National Cot
ton Council reports' in a new estimate
of pest losses throughout the Cotton
Belt.
Value of cotton and cottonseed lost
to all insects amounted to $289,768,-
000, according to the Council estimate
based on final crop production figures
of the Bureau of Agricultural Eco
nomics, USDA. t
Damage by Tears
This compares with $391,955,000 in
1951; $907,884,000 in 1950; $617,874,-
000 in 1949; and $202,264,000 in 1948.
Pests reduced the full yield an av
erage of 6.7 per cent as compared with
9.4 per cent in 1951. Percentage of
yield reductions in previous years
were: 1950—26.9; 1949—17.5 1948
6.6 per cent.
Last year in the 16 major cotton
producing states, an estimated 927,-
000 bales of cotton and approximately
574,300 tons of cottonseed were claim
ed by the boll weevir, tke pink boll
worm, and other pests.
State Losses
Dollar losses in cotton and cotton
seed by states were: Missouri, sl,-
926,000; Virginia, $488,000; North
Carolina, $14,830,000; South Carolina,
$16,488,000; Georgia, $17,740,000;
Florida, $863,000; Tennessee, $4,991,-
000; Alabama, $18,936,000; Mississip
pi, $24,212,000; Arkansas, $28,222,000;
Louisiana, $13,795,000; Oklahoma,
$10,956,000; Texas, $100,932,000; New
Mexico, $2,978,000; Arizona, $11,057,-
000; and California, $21,714,000.
The Cotton Council attributed the
lower losses of 1952 to hot, dry wea
ther which reduced insect buildups
during the growing season and to
more thorough control programs by
cotton growers.

Cheese adds flavor and nutritive
value to so many different foods.
However, some cooks have trouble
with recipes containing cheese. To
avoid most troubles when cooking with
cheese, Virginia Wilson, extension nu
tritionist, home cooks to keep
heat low or moderate. High heat or
cooking too long makes cheese tough,
stringy, or leathery. Also, too much
heat may cause mixture of cheese,
eggs, and milk to curdle.
“And,” suggests Miss Wilson, “add
cheese to other ingredients in very
, small bits rather than in one large
, piece. When broken up, cheese blends
, more evenly and quickly with other
foods and does not form a solid lump
or curd when the fat melts.”
, Grating is the easiest way to break
up hard or dry cheese. Soft cheese
may be shaved thin, flaked with a
fork, pressed through a sieve, or run
through a food chopper.
Fish and onion odors can be remov
i ed from cutlery and dishes by adding

To clean glass, use a brush and

The first step in renovating a hat is
a thorough cleaning job, finds Julia
Mclver, Extension clothing specialist
at State College.
This job can be done with one of the
maiiy cleaning fluids found on the
market. Since they are inflammable
and explosive, the specialist urges that
all dry cleaning be done out-of-doors
and entirely away from fire and heat.
Hats that have been cleaned must
be allowed to dry thoroughly out-of
doors before blocking. “Several hours
are required for the cleaning solu
tion to evaporate,” warns Miss Mc
lver.
Basic Dress Should Be
Always Kept In Mind
“The basic dress is a good thing to
keep in mind,” says Julia Mclver, N.
C. State College Agricultural exten
sion specialist in clothing. And show
ing that they’ve learned the value and
i versatility of the basic outfit are
i many of the 4-H Club girls who came
! to Raleigh last week to participate in
the State 4-H Dress Revue. Many
of these girls had learned to make as
■ many as three or four completely dif
ferent outfits around one basic dress.
Miss Mclver suggests that you keep
r in mind that a few garments, well cho
sen and of good quality, make up a
much more satisfactory wardrobe
• than many cheap garments.
A good basic dress for each sea
• son of the year can be the core of
your wardrobe. Learn to accessorize
effectively, to dress your basic dress
es “up or down” as the occasion de
mands.
Miss Mclver defines a “basic dress”
as one of good material, conservative
in cut and color which may be easi
ly . varied to suit most any occasion
by your choice of accessories. Know
ing your most flattering and becom
ing colors is an important factor in
selecting a basic dress and building
your wardrobe. The woman with the
limited income should choose staple
colors for her carry-over garments
like suits and coats, advises Miss Me-
Iver.

From the thrilling power of the great

From the new instant getaway of
Twin-Turbine Dynaflow*—where you
move from standstill to cruising pace
in a quick sprinkling of seconds, and
with truly infinite smoothness—
From the deep comfort of riding soft

luxury on really wide seats —of han
dling over two balanced tons of fine

become workable In one season, says
Miss Mclver. It will take several sea
sons—maybe a year or two to get
your wardrobe well under way.
The wardrobe plan will enable you
to have appropriate clothes for every
occasion. It will also help to stretch
the clothing dollar!
