IMPACT OF A MORE INTENSIVE INSECT PEST INFESTATION LEVEL ON COTTON PRODUCTION: TEXAS HIGH PLAINS
This study evaluated implications of increased bollworm problems in a 20-county area of the Texas High Plains relative to cotton yields and economic impact. Results did not indicate a serious effect of bollworms upon lint yield when insecticides were used for control. However, estimated annual reduction in farmer profit due to the bollworm for 1979-81 was over $30 million. Yields were estimated to decline about 300,000 bales without insecticide use and about 30,000 bales with insecticide use. This decline suggests potentially serious implications for the comparative economic position of cotton in this region if insecticide resistance were to develop among insect pests.Crop Production/Industries,

MILK SUPPLY RESPONSE IN DELAWARE
Milk supply response by dairy farmers in Delaware was analyzed
employing d1stnbuted lag price structures for number of milk cows and
milk production per cow. A polynominal distributed lag model is fitted to
quarterly data with deflated prices for the period 1966 to 1978. The
variations in the number of milk cows is explained by about 98 percent.
Farmers react positively to milk prices after l-2 years, while wages and feed
prices have a negative impact on cow numbers. Milk production per cow
shows positive adjustments to milk prices after 6 to 15 months. Technology
and feed prices influence also milk production (R l =.87). While the short-run
price elasticity of milk production is only .2, the long-run aggregate
elasticity grows to 2.8 percent. Intermediate-run projections of milk supply
were also performed with the model

Tidal river sediment management–A Case Study in Southwestern Bangladesh a case study in southwestern Bangladesh /
The problems of severe drainage congestion and waterlogging in the southwestern Bangladesh have been solved by an innovative concept, Tidal River Management (TRM). TRM involves the uniform raising of the land inside a tidal basin (beel) while simultaneously maintaining the proper drainage capacity in the river. The present practice of TRM is to link the river with the selected beel by constructing a link canal at the entrance of which most of the sedimentation takes place. This localized sedimentation also creates drainage congestion and water logging making it unattractive to landowners who participate in the program. In this paper a functional sediment management plan is presented to get rid of this problem
