PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT CON

THE PROGRESS MADE. TEN
j YEAR PROGRAM OUTLINED
r
According to a Washington dis
patch of May 12 President Roose
velt Saturday njght congratulated
the Rural Electrification Adminis
tration on its fifth birthday. At
the birthday banquet and dance of
the REA staff at the Raleigh Hotel,
Administrator Harry Slattery read
a letter of greeting from the Pres
ident, commending REA’s achieve
ments during the last 5 years and
urging it on to continued efforts.
On May 11, 1935, President Roose
velt created REA as an emergency
agency. A little more than a year
later the organization was given a
definite 10-year program starting
on July 1, 1936. On July 1, 1939,
in accordance with the President’s
Second Reorganization Plan, REA
became an agency within the De
partment of Agriculture. Yesterday’s
was its first anniversary celebration
since that reorganization.
A staff conference attended by
all of REA’s field workers as well
as the Washington staff started on
Wednesday, May 8, and culminated
in last night’s banquet and dance.
Speakers at the banquet included
Senator George W. Norris, Assistant
Secretary of Agriculture Claude R.
Wickard, and REA Administrator
Harry Slattery.

National Cotton
Week To Arouse
Wide Interest
CONCERTED DRIVE WILL BE
MADE TO TELL THE STORY
OF COTTON AND ITS GROW
ING IMPORANCE
Memphis, Tenn. Endorsed by
President Roosevelt and governors
of the Cotton Belt states, National
Cotton Week, May 17-25, gives as
surance of being the most success
ful cotton sales event on record,
the National Cotton Council an
nounces in a review of campaign
activities in the eighteen producing
states.
Of approximately 1,000 chambers
of commerce in the belt, more than
400 have adopted Cotton Week
promotion as an official project. In
253 additional communities, spon
sorship is in the hands of local civic
clubs.
The Council recapitulation shows
that more than a third of the belt’s
2,800 newspapers already have or
dered materials to carry the mes
sage of Cotton Week to a combined
audience of more than 8,000,000
readers., Theater audiences totaling
over 1,500,000 will view special
Cotton Week trailers during and
prior to Cotton Week, and added
millions will hear the “Pick Cotton”
message over more than a third of
the belt’s radio stations.
Reports from the Council’s 715
county committees and special Cot
ton Week committees in cities of the
belt indicate that the response to
Cotton Week throughout the cotton
producing area would be greater
than last year when an all-time
record was set for observance of
the event.
Activity outside the belt likewise
exceeds that of any previous year,
with major chain and retail associa
tions joining cotton interests in the
effort. The institute of distribution
alone has placed more than 200,000
Cotton Week posters and obtained
commitments involving 175 miles of
cotton displays in store windows.
The Cotton Textile Institute Mer
cerizers Association and other pro
motional groups are surpassing all
previous efforts for a coordinated
and coast-to-coast observance of the
Cotton Week program.

Hard Scrabble
dear editer,
We thinks now we is going to
start a grandmama’s Day. Looks
like we need that just as bad as a
Mother’s Day. In this day and time
the grandmamas has to take the
place of the mamas most all the
time so I think they ought to be
honored too. My dorters in the law
most alius gone some where and
askes me to take kere of their chil
lun. If they aint gone nowhere
they’re busy tryin to pretty up ther
selves and I have to keep watch
over the baby to keep him out’n
the cole skuttle and the churn. They
went up to the city the other nite
to hear a collertura sing. They said
they didn’t like it much. We would
not know whut it was like.
Looks like there’s a lot of broom
sage coming on. That means more
good brooms to make in the fall.
Lots of thistles in our pastor along
side the broom strawe. Pity they
cant be good for something. They
are pretty, though.
Soap grease is piling up at our
house and I’m er goin to have to
make a pot of soap. We used to
git good lye in balls but now every
thing has to be put up in cans. So
we’ll buy some cans I guess and quit
fussin bout it.
So long.

Packing And Marketing Eggs Play
Important Part, Miss Browning Says
(Editor’s note: This is the con
cluding article in a series written
by Miss Annie Lois Browning on
the production and marketing of
eggs. Miss Browning has made an
impressive record in her poultry
project. The articles have been in
teresting and instructive.)
PACKING AND MARKETING
Before the eggs are packed they
must be thoroughly cooled, for the
flats and fillers used in packing
tend to hold the heat in the egg.
Too often producers sell their
eggs in paper bags, buckets, and
pasteboard boxes. They increase
the danger of loss through breakage
as well as make the product less
attractive. Cartons or cases cost
but a few cents more and help to
preserve the high egg quality and
aid materially in building up a trade.
Eggs should be packed in new or
good condition containers. They
should be packed with the large end
up so as to allow air to circulate
freely around the air cell which is
in the large end. By packing them
in this way the danger of breakage
is also lessened.
Eggs should be marketed at least
twice a week. For eggs that are
Grade A at the time of grading must
also be disposed of promptly if one
is to get the best returns from poul
try. The ways of marketing are
by car, truck, parcel post, and ex
press. We use a truck for a few
cases, parcel post for a few dozen
cases, and express is used only for
large organized poultry groups.
Freight cars hold about four hun
dred dozen cases.
And now, in conclusion, the fol
lowing important points have been
stressed. Breed or purchase for
standard egg size, produce infer
tile eggs from May to October, in
clude green feed and yellow corn
in ration, provide wire dropping
boards, see that nests are clean and
sufficient, cull broody hens out of
flock, gather eggs three times a
day, candle for defects, grade for
size, cool eggs before packing, pack
in new or good condition containers,
ship or market often.
The poultry industry is one that
is rapidly increasing and one that
we should all be interested in. Chicks
are the basis for a big industry, for
not only do the hatcheries pay a
generous price for the eggs but they
also offer numerous other oppor
