Lint Price Down
(Continued from Page One)
18.85 cents per pound as of July
15, 1942, unchanged from a month
earlier.
Sales of 36,000 bales reported
by the 10 markets compared with
29,000 in the previous week and
44,000 in the corresponding week
a year ago.
Domestic mill consumption dur
ing July probably exceeded the
930,000 bales consumed in July
a year ago and was almost double
the "10-year (1930-39) average of
486,000 bales for the month. Con
sumption for the season ended
July 31, 1942, appears to have to
taled a little more than 11,100,000
bales, the largest domestic mill
consumption on record. The pre
vious high was 9,722,000 bales in
the 1940-41 season and the 1930-
39 average annual consumption
was 6,200,000 bales.
Consumption in 1942-43 is ex
pected in some quarters to exceed
12,000,000 bales but as yet monthly
consumption has not quite reach
ed the million bale level. Unfinish
ed cotton cloth purchases for use
in Government orders appear to |
have slackened somewhat. Unfill
ed orders, however, were large in
volume and orders for civilian use
continued difficult to place.
The Weather Bureau’s weekly
report stated that progress of the
cotton crop was generally good.
Temperatures were near normal.
Activity decreased noticeably in
the Southeast. Inquiries continued
rather numerous for Middling and
higher grades 15-16 and 13-16
inches and longer, mostly for
prompt shipment. Transactions
were few and were mostly at fix
ed prices. The volume of sales was
small, according to trade reports.
Cotton bolls have begun to open
in the earlier areas of Georgia,
Alabama, and South Carolina.
Picking and ginning have begun
in South Georgia, and the South
east's first bale of the new crop
was marketed.
The average price of Middling
35-16 inch in the four Southeastern
designated markets on July 31 was
18.87 cents as compared with 19.28
a week earlier and 16.18 cents for
the same day one year ago.
According to the Weather Bu
reau, cotton crop conditions and
progress ranged from fair to very
good for the week ended July 28.
Rains, cloudy weather, and some
rank growth in a few areas of
the Carolinas, favored weevil ac
tivity Rain is needed in some
areas of Alabama, Georgia, and
South Carolina.
The Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta reported that the volume
of department store sales in key
cities of the Southeast for the
week ended July 25 was 2 per
cent more than for the same week i
last year.

REDUCING ACCIDENTS
It is estimated, says the Agri
cultural Extension Service, that.
farm accidents and fires in thc
United States claim a substantial
part of farm income and more than
4,200 human lives each year. For j
instance, more than 300,000 farm
people were seriously injured by
accidents in 1939. ;
---—
During 1941 between seven and
eight million broilers were grown
out by Georgia poultrymen. |

A well established pasture is
usually the most valuable area on

NUMBER 32
REDS FORCED TO
WITHDRAW TO
NEW POSITIONS
Germans, sending wave after wave
of tanks at the harried Russians,
broke through and forced the So
viet withdrawal. The Germans
were sending groups of 50 and 60
tanks smashing into the Russian
defense.
“Naturally, without participa
tion of actively-defending local
population, such groups of para
chutists might remain undisclosed
for a, long time,” said Red Star.
“This may lead to very serious
consequences.
“Last year special exterminat
ing detachments organized from
local populations had great sue*
cess. They exterminated hundreds
of enemy parachutists. It is neces
sary to expand this form of strug
gle with German ’chutists.”
Red Star also said the German
air force was striving to paralyze
the Russian railway system in ad
vance of the Nazi land troops.
The German pattern of attack,
it said was to send out Messer
schmitt fighters to scout for ob
