Mr. Leonard estimated that*more than four billion dollars worth of crops are being protected each year by insecticides and fungicides. Government agencies call for huge quantities of materials for overseas without considering home needs, he said, urging that they coordinate their demands and consult with each other and with the industry. Every pound of materiaj the industry can produce would be needed next 3 r ear. George Krieger, chairman of the Ameri- can Petroleum Institute's agricultural development committee, said that through the catalytic cracking of crude oil, t h e petroleum industry is producing a wide variety of new toxic compounds against various insects, weeds, and fungi. These petroleum derivatives, however, cannot be released to the farmer pending com- plete tests, and for this reason they were enlisting technical advice from organiza- tions like the AIFA. This was a part, he said, of the petroleum industry's pro- gram for scientific power farming, and which was not to be confused with farm mechanization.
