ONE VARIETY COTTON
PROGRAM ANNOUNCED
College Station.—Texas is
given four areas in the one-
variety cotton improvement
and marketing program for
cotton grown in the United
States, which the Department
of Agriculture announced re-
cently.
The areas, with the varieties
being grown, are: Wharton
County—Delta and Pine Land
variety; Red River County—
Rowden variety; Delta-Lamar
area—Rowden variety; and
South Plains area—Paymaster
variety. I
"Government classing offices
will be set up at El Campo,
Clarksville, Paris and Floyda-
da to serve each of the four
areas, and growers should re-
ceive quick classing.” said M.
C. Jaynes, cotton work special-
ist of tile A. and M. College
Extension Service. “All farm-
ers in the program are eligi-
ble to have their cotton class-
ed, but they do not have to
sell it. Their cotton can go in-
to the loan, or they are at lib-
erty to dispose of R wherever
they can get the highest
prices.”
Under the plan, up to 225,-
000 bales produced in 1941 in
selected one-variety areas, will
be made available to domestic
and foreign spinners in even
running lots composed wholly
of cotton from the same areas.
The marketing division of
the Departmeat of Agriculture
will make an agreement with
a shipper designated by the
growers, who will set as busi-
er, to take over a portion of
the cotton from each area,
Jaynes said. The present plan
of the department is to pur-
chase between 7,500 and 10,-
000 bales in Wharton County;
10,000.bales in Red River; 15,-
000 in1 DeltaTAmar, and 10,-
000 in the South Plains. Should
the loan be under the market,
Jaynes added,- the purchases
probably would not exceed one
half of the estimated amounts.
The program provides fed-
eral payments bf t|2.85 a bale
for uncompressed cotton and
12.75 for compressed to co-
operating agencies which as-
semble the staple and deliver
it to domestic or foreign spin-
ners. These payments are to
compensate handlers for the
extra cost involved in employ-
ing the new and improved
marketing methods required
under the program.
According to the Depart-
ment's announcement the cot-
ton will be handled from grow-
er to spinner in accordance
with the latest approved prac-
tices. These practices include
ginning, special wrapping,
compressing, official sampling
and classification. Bales must
be completely covered and
undamaged by the compress.
Officials of the marketing
division expect the program to
demonstrate to spinners that
one-variety cotton property
handled is more desirable for
spinning and more economical
to use than cotton assembled
and handled under commer-
cial conditions. Under the 1940
program, 106,475 bales were
assembled.

BIG COTTON USE
LARGELY DUE TO
CIVILIAN DEMANDS
Memphis, Tenn.—Although
approximately 13 per cent of
the current cotton textile pro-
duction is required to fill na-
tional defense needs, the Na-
tional Cotton Council said to-
day that the major portion of
this year’s 2,250,000 bale in-
crease in consumption over
1940 can be attributed large-
ly to heavy demands from
normal civilian channels.
The Council also revealed
that cotton is showing consid-
erable gains over rayon. Dur-
ing June domestic cotton con-
sumption was approximately
875,000 bales as compared
with 565,000 bales in June,
1940—a gain of about 59 per
cent. For the same period
rayon consumption showed a
gain of only 24 per cent.
"Although it is readily ap-
parent that the national de-
fense effort is making large
demands on cotton textile pro-
duction, it is equally appar-
ent that with increased pur-
chasing power cotton is mak-
ing tremendous gains in the
normal civilian outlets," a
Cotton Council spokesman de-
clared.
"Sales of cotton wearing ap-
parel in the nation’s depart-
ment stores are far in ad-
vance of those of last year and
the per cent of increase has
jumped steadily month by
month.”
The Council said that for
the nation as a whole depart-
ment store sales had shown
an increase of 15 per cent for
the first half of the year. It
added, however, that by the
end of the year this per cent
would probably be consider-
ably higher. .,
During the month of May
sales of women’s blouses,
shirts, and sportswear were
np 30 per cent; sales of jun-
iors’ and girls’ dresses showed
a gain of 22 per cent; and
sales of aprons, house wear
and uniforms were up 23 per
cent. Domestics, towels and
linens were up 26 per. cent,
and mattresse* were up 29 per
cent.
“It is significant that the
Hems in which the highest
gains were shown are made
predominantly of cotton,” the
Council spokesman said. "In
no other department store
items were gains so high.”
Army Camp at Bastrop
WiU Cost $22,875,000
Austin, Tex., Aug. 11,—Con-

English Stage Heaviest Day-
light Assault of the War.
London, Aug. 12. (UP)—
American-built flying fort-
resses bombed Cologne and
Emden today in daring day-
light raids as the Royal Air
Force carried the joint Russo-
British air offensive to a large
number of objectives in Ger-
many and occupied territory,
the air ministry announced.
The raids were described
authoritatively as the deepest
daylight RAF penetration into
Germany and the greatest
fighter offensive of the entire
war.
The Berlin radio went off
the air suddenly at 10:30 p.
m., indicating the German
capital might be undergoing
its fifth raid in six nights.
British fighters and bomb-
ers continued the offensive af-
ter dusk, droning across the
channel to the cheers of
watchers on the cliffs.
Formations of Blenheim
bombers cooperated with the
four-engined fortresses in at-
tacking Cologne, where great
fires were started, it was said.
The loss of 20 British planes,
including 12 Blenheim bom-
bers and eight fighters, was
admitted as result of the all-
day offensive.
Fortresses also bombed the
Dekooy airdrome, while Blen-
heims hammered power sta-
tions at Quadrath and Knap-
sack.
“Six squadrons of Blenheim
penetrated the Rhineland this
morning and attacked Cologne
and power stations at Quad-
rath and Kr.apsack,” the min-
istry said.
- Hampden-bombers also at-
tacked railways near Saint
Omer in northern France and
the power station atGosnay in
the Fas-de-Calais section., of.
France, the announcement
said. Three German fighter
planes wege - reported shot
down.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Heaton
and Byron Heaton returned
