Their an- nual “board bill” in Pennsylvania is estimated at approximately $8,- 750,000. ; : Federal experts have declared in- sects destroy about 5 per cent of stored ‘grains and rats and other vermin account for a 4 per cent loss. Pennsylvania corn, wheat oats, barley, rye and buckwheat crops of 1946 were valued at nearly $175,600,000.
