Use More Cotton At Home
During the part World War the United States furnished cotton
necessary for all of the allien need At that time the United
State had only a sixmillion hale carry over while at the
beginning of tho activities in Europe there was a 26niillion hale
carry over in the United States alone and a 50millon hale carryover
over the entire world
During the past war tho United States furnished 654per
cent of all the cotton goods and cotton supplies At the present
we are only furnishing 42 per cent This year the South cotton
growers have exported only 33 million hales At this time the
allies are using many substitutes for cotton in the operations
that willcause very little fluctuation in the market price
With this world situation of cotton it is necessary for every
person in Swisher County to use more cotton if wo arc to as
sut in this situation Each family should strive to purchase cotton
goods and less of substitutes Each wheat farmer can increase
the purchasing amount of each cotton farmer by buying all the
cotton products possible If the cotton fanner has more money
ho can buy more wheat and wheat products which means that
the wheat farmer will receive a better price for his wheat
Lets keep this program of buying more cotton goods going
the year around which will add to the Nations income in every
respect John Palmore
39 Movement Of
Cotton Products
Sets New Record
NEW YORK The movement
of U S cotton products from
mills to customers during the past
year has established nn alltime
record Claudius T Murchlson
president of the Cotton Textile
Institute said
Today the cotton manufacturing
Industry Is continuing to run
at full doubleshift capacity to
meet delivery specifications for
orders on hand Murchison pointed
out An insistent call for goods
has resulted in a tremendous de
Houston Items
By Mrs John Adams
6 mi S Tulln
All lines of communication
are down Ice has formed so
thick on the telephone lines that
they have broken in a number
of places and it is impossible to
wart the neighbors with a ring
and whats your news this week
So this is an imaginary survey
just to make rending for those
who look for the Houston items
Just imagine
The chores nil done in the H
W Sorrenson home Mrs Sor
renson sits with a bit of fancywork
while they both chuckle
over the Jokes they henr on the
radio
Mrs Cecil Simpson sticks her
cllne in cotton mill inventories head out the doof on hcnrlng
months
during the past three as
effects of the use more cctton
movement become evident
As an outstanding example of
the cooperation of business In
this movement Murchison cited
recent cotton usage statistics furnished
the Cotton Textile Institute
by a large chain store organization
Approximately 4000
flOO cotton feed bags purchased
during the past year by this organization
the Great Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company were estimated
to hnve requried the output
of 4000 acres of cotton
The A P report Murchison
said pointed out that growing
and processing this cotton provided
a weeks work for approximately
14400 people The organization
reported also that cot
ton bags used for feed are easier
to handle cleaner and have a
higher resale value than bags
maMe of foreign materials he
said
Earlier In 1939 the A P
shifted from jute to cotton bags
for the 1500000 barrels of flour
consumed annually in Its bakeries
Murchison added For this
flour the organization uses more
than 2500000 large bags each
year The labor required for pro
ducing these bags including that
of raising the cotton making it
into cloth and making the cloth
bags was found to provide a
weeks work for approximately
18000 persons while the yield
irom about 5000 acres of cotton
is required
The use more cotton movement
Murchison pointed out has
hecn backed by numerous concerns
Early this year intensive
sales aid wns given cotton producers
by food chains and other
retailers during National Cotton
Week More recently he said increased
use of cotton bags has
been reported by large bean shippers
in Colorado and Michigan
American mills the Cotton Textile
Institute head declared have
bales during
taken a million more
ing the first eleven months of
1939 than during the similar 1938
period
Private industrys expanding
demand for cotton has done much
to supplement the efforts of the
government in aiding surplus
burdened cotton producers he
said
The Department of Agriculture
plans on extending the food
stamp plan which is now made
available to reliefers in twelve
cities to 150 areas by next June
