Shortly after World War II had ended and when thousands of date palms in Basra were ripening their fruit, and through: Mesontamit in the valleys of the Euphrates and the Tigris, when the fields of gold- en graln were ready for harvest, great swarms of locusts struck. They came from the desert waste lands of Saudi Arabia and the Neutral Territories; they were carried a- long by the south winds from the Persian Gulf. These hordes did not leave even the wild marsh weeds in a land which included tl.:e tra- ditional site of the Garden of Eden; there remained only stubble in the

ment to that country might arrive too late. The United States, through its Technical Cooperation Admin- istration, supplied as part of its Point 4 Project to the Internation- al Locust Control Project. sixteen light planes with pilots, technic- ians and supplies for the 1952 war against locusts in Iraq, Iran, Pak- istan, India, Jordan and Ethiopia. One of its greatest contributions, however, was the discovery. manu- facture and supply of aldrln, a very deadly insecticide for locusts, but harmless to live stockrlf properly used. This insecticide can be spray- ed from aircraft, and when used at the rate of 200 oz. to 100 gallons of water, it will kill all the locust nymphs on one hundred acres of desert in half an hour's flying time.

This is enough to make up about 8000 stoles or perhaps 45.000 scarls. some of these skins are sold for as little is a dime. Most of them range from 31.00 tn 82.50. In the new method of manufacturing in M-hloh split skins instead of let down nr draped skins are used. these junk pelts can be worked for as low as 31.50 In hour-instead of normal labor onsts of 010 to 312 an hour. The result is a mink stole blatantly advertised by a good price fur store for 8199.
