mutomobile radiators was suggested
today by the agricultural depart
ment.
It said honey provided a good anti
freeze solution in winter and helped
keep the radiator cool in summer.

must be tight or the honey would
leak into the cylinders and cause
serious damage.
One man was said to have used
the same solution in his radiator

"‘New Discovery” Old Remedy In
Oregon
Salen, Oregon.—Oregon poultry
men are chuckling over a “new dis
covery”—tobacco as a poultry feed.
The announcement was made from
a Pennsylvania college.
For twenty-five years, Oregon
poultrymen have used tobacco as
poultry feed.
Its principal use was a preventive
of certain diseases.
Powdered tobacco mixed in bran
or mash feeds was a favorite remedy
and is still used quite generally.
Consumption Is Not Being
Stimulated
Washington, D. C.—lt may seem
a paradox, but low prices of raw
cotton are doing the opposite of
stimulating consumption.
Figures compiled by the depart
ment of agriculture show 1,044,194
bales fewer moved to the mills from
August 1, 1930, to June 5, 1931
than during the same period a year
earlier.
The situation simply is one in
which manufacturers cannot get
enough profitable even if cotton is
the cheapest since 1915. As it works
out the knowledge that raw cotton is
so low causes the purchasers of yarn
and cloth to demand lower prices or
limit their orders to bare necessities
which in turn narrows the profits of
the mills.
Executive's of some textile con
cerns say they are entirely satified
to keep their machinery running just
enough to keep it in good order and
to care for their operatives.
The department of agriculture says
with cotton cloth orders diminish
ing and lower raw material quota
tions, mills show little incentive to
place business.
It was said improvement in cot
ton which would give the mills an
opportunity to raise their prices,
probably would stimulate yarn and
cloth buying and move the whole in
dustry up where the trade could
get some idea of future business.
Some see the erratic price move
ments with final quotation down only
about 3-16 cents a pound for an av
erage price of 7.96 cents on mid
dling 7-8 inch staple as evidence of
the strength at low levels. At the
high time on June 3rd cotton made
the largest gain for one day since
last December. Much of the upturn
was credited to short covering but
it showed the market can advance on
setbacks—a condition which traders
said would bring the public into the
market.
Commission houses, in some in
stances, were said to be receiving in
quiries as to whether or not cotton
at present levels was a good invest
ment.
One firm said the only hope the
market had was that investment
buying on a grand scale would be
gin. It would lead to mill buying
with those which are strongly en
trenched financially probably pur
chasing for a 3 to 5 year supply on
all scale downs.
Presuming there still is a large
outstanding short interest for trade
and speculative account, which can
not be eliminated without bringing
a substantial upward readjustment
of prices, it is possible that public
interest in cotton may awaken with
a start. Long liquidation, responsi
ble for much of the prolonged de
cline, has been heavy and hedging is
virtually over. If buying comes in
to the market the trade anticipates
a scarcity of contracts and reversal
of recent market trends.
ALL CAME TO AN END
There was a business depression
in 1819 lasting 12 months.
There was a business depression
in 1838 lasting 20 months.
There was a business depression
in 1848 lasting 5 months.
There was a business depression
in 1857 lasting 12 months.
There was a business depression
in 1869 lasting 8 months.
There was a business depression
in 1873 lasting 30 months.
There was a business depression
in 1884 lasting 22 months.
There was a business depression
in 1887 lasting 10 months.
There was a business depression
in 1893 lasting 25 months.
There was a business depression
in 1903 lasting 25 months.
There was a business depression
in 1907 lasting nearly 12 months.
There was a business depression
in 1914 lasting 8 months.
There was a business depression
in 1921-22 lasting 14 months.
All of them came to an end ex
cept the present depression, which
has been with its now approximate
ly 20 months. You note from the
above that the depression of 1873
lasted 30 months; 1884, 22 months;
1895, 25 months, and 1903, 25
months. Men in a position to know
say the present depression has hit
the bottom and is beginning to show
a slight improvement. Let’s hope
they are correct, and that this de
pression will not be a record-breaker
in point of time.—Exchange.
