Lubbock, said, "the greatest threat
to cotton is in tiie field of dress
wear, and here is where our
greatest research effort should be
directed. A few years ago . . the

that we thought we had all but

'UPi —A re-1 for cotton in
He reported
progress has been made by use of
resins, but the best results have
come from processes requiring
heat which weaken the fiber and
reduces the strength of fabric.
Keynoting the congress, Burris
C. Jackson of Hillsboro, chairman
of the statewide cotton committee
of Texas, warned that groweis
may be called upon to produce
again for war.
Technological advances, he said,
have put the industry on generally
good footing for production with
less manpower than In the past
He said Mississippi delta studies
showed that man-hour require-
ments per cotton acre can be low-
ered from 150 to 14 with a switch
from man-mule to completely me-
chanized farming.
He called also for better cotton
insect control programs, rioting
that weevils and other pests took
a $618,000,000 bite out of the 1949
crop.
Dr. P. V. Cardon of Washington,
administrator of the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture’s research
division, reported on progress
made under the research and mar-
keting act.
He said four new phosphorous
compounds have been found
which, when taken up by cotton
plants, kill aphids and mites.
Treatment of seed with a minute
quantity makes young cotton
plants poisonous to insects for sev-
eral weeks Preliminary tests
point to "inviting possibilities.”
Men Better Cooks,
Two Women Claim
BOSTON <UPi.—The queen of
the kitchen shqpld give up her
crown to the king, according to a
pair of women food experts.
As cooks, men are superior to
women, agreed Mrs. ■ Marjorie
Child Husted, home economist,
and Miss Alice Easton, who di-
rected a baked bean supper for
10,000 during Boron's jubilee.
“Men put more ffort into pre-
paring a meal than do their wives
and motheis, and come through
with a more artistic culinary per-
formance,” they said
The women suggested Pop take
his cooking laurels more seriously
and devote more time to cooking
family meals.
“It’ll give him a greater appre-
ciation of every day living,” Mrs.
Husted said. “It'll give his wife a
chance to relax occasionally and,
since men naturally are good
cooks, an occasional stint with the
skillet will provide a man with a
new outlet for his talents."

Southern Hospitality
Bars Visiting Bear
MACON, Ga., (UP)—A black
bear's march on Macon was dis-
astrous for the bear.
The visitor was struck by a car,
beaten on the head with a stick
of two-by*e>ur lumber and shot
in the head by two police officers.
The bear meandered into town.
By the time police officers had
arrived, the bear was “mean."
Spectators said it was because
a car bumped him and someone
had beaten him with the lumber.
The officers finished him off.
