Said Britain's Russian-born entomologist, Boris Petrovich Uvarov, locust-control authority and a chief organizer of the new campaign: "The world suffers 15,000,000 Ib. worth of crop losses yearly through locusts-in other words, man yearly grows 15,000,000 Ib. of crops to feed locusts. . . .

("The freezing," says Engineer Donnelly, "functions as an anesthetic to avoid damage to the tissues, fats and cells during the squeeze.") He reports reductions in volume (over and above dehydration reductions) of 90% for sauerkraut, 80% for cabbage, 75% for potatoes, 65% for onions, beets...

"Within the next year," says Wyckoff, "we will have to be dehydrating vegetables at the rate of at least 350,000,000 to 400,000,000 Ib., a development in the food industry that probably cannot be paralleled in any other industry." For dehydrated meats, practically nonexistent here a year back, requirements approached 60,000,000 Ib. in 1942. "To meet the 1943-44 dehydrated food requirements as presently known," Wyckoff adds...
