Milkweed Becomes
'War Plant' Taking
Place Os Kapok
The Government wants 1.500.000
pounds of milkweed floss this
year for life jackets. All of this
floss must come from the wild
stands, inasmuch as the plant is
not a cultivated crop.
After years of being considered
a pest, milk Weed finds itself sud
denly on the nation's priority list
as a “war plant” because the floss
its pods contain can be used to re
place war-scarce kapok.
Because of the need for milk
weed floss the Department of
Agriculture is asking that milk
. weed not be destroyed until tne
pods are harvested.
Milkweed nods wilt iw .-r.liacted
in 38 states this year in order to
provide milkweed flo*s for life
i jackets and aviators’ suits
with a view to replacing the kapok
formerly used. Kapok is now con
trolled by the Japanese.
Schools, 4-H Clubs, boys’ and
girls’ organizations, educational
groups and State and County War
Boards are co-operating in the col
lection of milkweed pods.
Enough milkweed floss to supply
life jackets was turned in last
year by students in an Indian
training school in northeast Utah.
Enough milkweed floss to suply
a life jacket for every man and
woman from the community who
had entered the armed forces was
the goal of one Michigan school
last year. The children surpassed
their goal.
The Government hopes to get
a peak milkweed pod harvest from
milkweed along roads and high
ways. The Public Roads Admin
istration is asking State and Coun
। ty highway commissioners to let
i milkweed grow until the pods are
| picked in order to get floss for
needed life jackets.
It takes at least 800 pounds of
milkweed pods to maitf a pound of
milkweed floss.
In addition to its use in life
jackets and aviators’ suits, milk
weed floss is used for thermal and
accoustical insulation for air-

The Wakeful Child And His Program
EVER SO MANY children
from two to six do not fall asleep
promptly after going to bed. The
child may be too tirad or wrought
up to sleep. Romping before bed
time or too strenuous or exciting
play may be the cause. Maybe
this child had no afternoon nap.
Every child should, until school at
tendance interferes, and all can be
trained in this essential habit. In
terruption of strenuous play every
hour or so during the day by a
quiet period effected by a few
stories told or read should bring
good results.
Frequently the sleep dawdler
will keep himself awake by call
ing his mother to his bedside for
attention over periods of an hour
or more. Announce to the child
before bedtime tonight that you
are not coming back. Then have
character enough to keep your
word. No use to begin this pro
gram, of course, until he has ;
i learned to stay in bed and lie
there.
If there is a baby brother or '
sister, let the older phild go to bed j
half an hour or so later than baby, [
i “since you are so big.” Jealousy |
I causes many an older of two young
children to lie awake or to wake I
often in the night. In either in
stance he finds ways of winning
attention. Try to reduce the jeal- I
ousy.
Warm Bath Helpful
A tepid bath right before going
to bed sometimes may favor sleep
in such children; so does a glass
of warm milk. In prolonged cases,
consult your physician.
Restlessness in the child at night,
frequent waking and night ter
rors, also should suggest the need
jof a physician’s help. There may
be digestive disorders, blocking
of the breathing passages, or oth
er physical causes which only the
■ doctor could diagnose and treat
properly.
I More often than not, the child
is nervous. While the doctor’s ad
| vice may be very desirable for its
correction, you will certainly aim
■ also at a more serene experience
; for him during the day. My bul
• letin “The Nervous Child” may be
. had by writing me in care of this
paper, enclosing a self-addressed.
I I stamped envelope. In a second
envelope, the bulletin, “Sleep
। Problems,” also may be had.
Regular Bedtime.
Needless to say, rigid regular
ity of bedtime, sufficiently early. \
is the first essential to cultivating
good sleep habits in the child.
The many letters from my read
ers I receive with interest, and |
answer those that require a per- !
I sonal reply. Please do not ask i
ime for medical advice. I cannot I
I give it, since I am not trained 1o

Co-Ops Pay Fair
Share Os Taxes,
Specialist Says
*
Declaring that farmer co-opera
tives in Georgia pay their fail
shares of taxes, C. G. Garner,;
marketing specialist of the Geor
gia Agricultural Extension Serv-
I ice, pointed out this week that they I
do not pay income taxes as they
' deduct from the returns to the I
i farmer for his products, dr add to
the price of supplies purchased 1
for the farmer, an amount suffi
cient to cover estimated costs plus
i a margin for operating contin- i
I gencies.
What is left after actual costs
' are covered belongs to the farmer- |
। member or patron and is system
| atically returned to him, Mr. Gar
■ ner asserted. Even the margin left
| for contingencies, if unused, is re
turned.
Like all individual citizens, the
farmer must report all taxable in
come including refunds frond co
operatives which he receives in
cash or stock, and all equities
credited to his account on the
books of the co-operative.
“Any corporation operating on
such a non-profit basis would no!
pay any income tax,” Mr. Garner
j declared. "This method of doing
j business is actually being followed
by many concerns other' than
farmer co-operatives.”

Editors Oppose
Standardization
Os Grade Labels
Grade labeling of merchandise
according to government standards
which has been recommended by
government bureaus and has been
I the subject of an exhaustive in
i vestigation by Congress, is opposed
by two-thirds of the country pub
lishers of the United States, ac- |
cording to a cross-section survey
j made by The American Press. The
’ other third of these publishers ses
no particular objection to it and a
i few of them heartily endorse the I
plan.
That the subject is one of live
; interest to the publishers of rural
America is indicated by the fact
that 32 percent said they had writ
! ten editorials on the subject dur- \
। ing the past year.
An overwhelming majority o'
the publishers, 84 percent, agreed
that local advertising would suf
fer heavily if brand names were
abolished and replaced by graoe
labeling, but only 41 percent
thought the volume of advertising
in their newspapers would be re- !
duced under a system of grade
labeling so long as brand names
still were permitted.
It was estimated by the pub
lishers that about 40 percent nf
their local advertising at the pre
sent time is devoted to promoting
well-known brand names. Ad- \
vertising of private brands, not j
nationally advertised, such as the 1
brands packed by co-operatives j
and chain stores, accounted ter j
J about 14 percent of their act- ,
vertising.
The majority of the publishers
1 did not feel that a grade labeling ]
I system would interfere with shop- j
pers’ buying according to brand
! names. Seventy-four percent be- j
lieve that the publje would con
i tinue to use brand names, many '
of them mentioning that shoppers
might combine the brand and the '
grade in making purchases, sucn '
as asking for “Del Monte, Grade
A.”
Major objections to a grade
labeling plan, as expressed by toe
1 publishers, are:
1. It would be a setback for
| private enterprise.
2. Would add to the complexity I
of distribution.
I 3. Would add a new flock of in
; spectors to the government pay-
I roll.
4. The storekeeper would get
| the blame if a product didn’t meas
ure up to its grade.
5. Would mean more regimenfa
i tion of the American people.
6. Would hurt the best adver
tisers—the merchants who carrv
the finest brand names and take
pride in them.
7. A step toward socialization. '
8. Would deprive aggressive
। manufacturers and merchants o(
। their just rewards for their es- j
forts.
9. Would be a serious blow to
i national advertising.
10. An attack upon successful ’
business men.
11. Unnecessary because brand
names are built on the quality of
their goods.
12. Advertsied brands continue
I in public favor only so long as they
: continue to meet highest stand
ards.
