The boll weevil, a reddish brown beetle first seen on the Texas border about 50 years ago, now causes annual losses over 200 million dollars and about one bale of cotton lost for every seven produced, roughly 1.5 million bales annually. Records show insect damage peaked in 1921 with over 30 percent yield reduction, but the trend has declined while remaining a heavy burden on cotton production and farm welfare.

Care for Damask Table Linen
Proper care keeps damask table linen lasting years. Wash in hot soapy water, repeat suds if discoloration remains, rinse hot, avoid wringing wrinkles, hang to dry in sun if possible, iron with a very hot iron before fully dry to achieve gloss, and vary folds to prevent wear at creases.
