Significant, of the progress of cotton m the construction industry
are the first ccftton-concrete shingles applied on a roof in Jackson,
Miss. Invented by a Columbus, Miss., cotton planter, they are made as
hey are applied, on the job. Reports from a large construction material
boratory to the National Cotton Council are that the cotton-concrete
hingles have been successfully subjected to accelerated weather tests
up t0 a hundred years. Experiments are now under way to adapt
the same material for use as a bath room tile. Commercial production
of the roofing shingle already is under way.

1500 Kitchens

The annual report of the State

was made at the annual meeting
of the State Home Demonstration
Council held in Athens during
Farm and Home Week. The report
follows:
“Approximately 50 county coun

kitchen improvement, with some
1500 kitchens being improved.
Screening, storage space, and
kitchen equipment have been the
most popular improvements.

A bale of cotton donated by J
L. Pilcher, Thomas countian, to
President fund brought Roosevelt’s dollar campaign [
one a pound )
when auctioned here Friday at the
state Capitol. The bale weighing
453 pounds was bid in by W. Fred
Scott of Thomasville, who wrote
out a check to the National Dem
ocratic Party for $450 and im
mediately redonated the bale to I
the Democratic Party. The cotton '
was auctioned by Marvin Griffi’
acting in the absence of Gover
Rivers.
A dollar a pound for the L
velt cotton was a consideru^..
boost compared to th£ fifteen and
a half cents brought by a bale
auctioned for the Republican cam
paign a day or so previously.
Farming and Defense
If the program of defense and
preparedness in this country is to
succeed, it must have the full co
operation and support of all
groups, Director Walter S. Brown,
ol the Georgia Agricultural Ex
tension Service, believes. “Not on
ly must it include ships and for
tifications and tanks and airplanes
and guns and soldiers,,” the Di
rector points out, “but it must al
so include huge supplies oi raw
materials and adequate supplies
of food and clothing for our ar
mies and for our people and feed
tor cur livestock. It must include
soil conservation and forest con
servation. We must not only store
up grain in our barns but we must
store up future crops and supplies
in the fertility of our soils.”
artowood
Every farmer is interested in
having his cotton property ginned
and baled, thus the necessity for
adequate ginning equipment.
It is estimated that approxi
mately 10.5 per cent of Georgia’s
cotton crop during the last five
years was rough ginned.
