Cotton Committee
Recommends More
Cotton Research
College Station — Cutting cot-
a goal of stepped up cotton re-
ton production costs should be
search, says the USDA’s Cotton
Research and Marketing Ad-
visory Committee.
At its annual meeting held
recently, the committee propos-
ed more study on breeding,
weed and insect control, cul-
tural practices and seedbed
preparation, soil and water
management, harvesting equip-
ment, ginning and related proc-
esses, and storing cotton and
seed cotton.
The unattractive appearance
of the American cotton bale was
criticized and the committee ad-
vised the use of new lightweight
cotton bagging materials, stan-
dardization of the bale size and
better methods of sampling the
I bales.
Research on improving the
wash-and-wear properties of
cotton were recommended. New
developments with stretch cot-
ton, flame resistant cotton, and
cloth that resists rot, heat and
weather promise to increase the
use of cotton, the committee
said.
The committee sees a need for
more work on uses for cotton-
seed oil and a better cottonseed
meal, with an accompanying
improvement in the processing
techniques of cottonseed.
The Cotton Research and
Marketing Advisory Committee
is made up of some of the na-
tion's leaders in the industry
and has two Texans among
them. They are Otto Goedecke,
president of Otto Goedecke, Inc.
Hallettsvllle, and Wilmcr Smith,
a Lynn County cotton grower.

Egg Production
Is Up; Prices
Favor Consumer
College Station—Egg produc-
tion is up and prices are favor-
able for consumers. Therefore,
eggs are a good food buy and
this is the season for housewives
to purchase the big ones
Since the prices of large and
medium eggs are close together
at this time, large eggs are
usually the best buy, says F.
Z. Beanblossom, extension poul-
try marketing specialist.
Egg quality varies from AA to
C grades, he explains. Top
quality eggs have the most deli-
cate flavor and are better for
eating purposes, such as poach-
ing and frying, while eggs of B
and C quality are commonly
used for cooking and baking, he
odds. Pennywise, food shoppers
should not shun the lower qual-
ities for baking purposes since
these eggs contain the same
nutrients as the top quality ones,
the specialist explains.
He advises consumers that
shell color makes no difference
in the food value of eggs. Each
egg, regardless of color — brown
or white — comes with the same
protein, minerals and vitamins.
Two two-ounce eggs are the
counterpart of an average meat
serving, he adds.
He reminds the housewife
that even if she buys high qual-
ity eggs, improper handling be-
fore they are used can cause
them to drop in quality. He sug-
gests that eggs be placed in the
refrigerator as soon as they are
brought home and that they be
held under refrigeration un-
til used. They should also be
kept in a covered carton with
the large end up.

Marketing Year
For Wool And
Mohair Changed
College Station — Texas sheep
and goat producers are remind-
ed by Ed Uvacek, extension
livestock marketing specialist,
that the marketing years for
wool and mohair have been
changed from the April 1 -
March 31 year to a calendar
year basis.
In order to make the trans-
ition from the April - March
base to a calendar year, the
1963 marketing year will con-
sist of only nine months —
April through December. The
first full calendar marketing
year, therefore, will be 1964, ex-
j plains Uvacek.
These changes are important
to sheep and goat producers,
says the specialist, since the sel-
ling time of their clips and the
amount of incentive payments
they receive are involved, the
incentive payment rate, he ex-
plains, is based on the differ-
ence between the national aver-
age price received by producers
and the incentive prices an-
nounced by the U. S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture.
The incentive level for wool in
the marketing year 1963 — April
through December — is 62 cents
per pound, while that for mo-
hair has been set at 76 cents per
pound, Uvacek said.
The 1870 Census shewed that
20 per cent of our population
was illiterate.
