Future of Cotton
WHAT is going to happen to
King Cotton, mainstay of more
farmers than any other crop? And
more farmers are affected by what
happens to cotton than by what hap
pens to any other crop. Up to one
third of all farm residents in the
country live on cotton farms and
they’re the lowest income group in
agriculture. ,
Not only these cotton farmers, but
every farmer, every resident of the
thousands of home towns from the
East to the West coast and from top
to bottom of the country, is interest
ed in cotton . . . for cotton in peace
time accounts for four-fifths of our
total textile yardage.
According so recent statistics re
leased by Secretary Clinton P. An
derson of the department of agri
culture, the gross average farm in
come of cofton farmers in the 10
years ending in 1942 was only $865
a year, as against more than $2,000
in other parts of the nation,
Why, then, with cotton an all-im
portant crop and selling at prices
well above parity should income of
these cotion farmers, a third of all
farmers, be so much lower than the
average of other farmers? The an
swer is found in the agricultural
practices of the South for the past.
hundred years, and includes (1) a
| one-crop system of farming, (2) lack
of conservation practices which has
driven the center of the cotton king
dom from the southeastern states
across the Mississippi to the South
west and (3) cotton surpluses which
have in the past demoralized the
market.
Tough Competition
While the department of agricul
ture is not pessimistic over the fu
ture of cotton in the immediate post
war years, it is obvious, they point
out, that great care will be neces--
sary for cotton to hold its own in an
increasingly competitive field.
In the first place cotton produc
tion in this country has decreased,
whereas foreign production has in- |
creased. In 1920 for instance, we
produced 13 million of the 21 mil
lion bales of cotton produced in the
world. In 1940, the last year for
world statistics, we produced only
12 out of 29 million bales, and our
production in 1943 dropped fto 11 mil
lion bales., In spite of this drop in
production other competitive com
modities have soared in commen
usage replacing cotton. Rayon, ny
lon, spun glass and other newer de
velopments of textiles are boring
into the cotton market. U. 8. rayon
production 10 years ago amounted to
only 10 million pounds, whereas last
year rayon had grown so 724 million
pounds or the equivalent of 1,700,000
bales of cotton. Paper producis en
tering the market formerly held by
cotfon . . . towels, tissues, napkins,
window shades, plastic and twine,
in 1929 was equivaleni on a pound
for-pound basis of a million bales
of raw cotton.
The Commodity Credit corpora
tion in the department of agricul
ture is the godfather of the cotton
crop and the haven of cotton crop
farmers. It is the Commodity Credit
corporation which supports the mar
ket price for cotton, by buying up
surpluses, and providing substitutes
for cotton exports. Through August
18, 1945, the CCC had purchased on
its Cotton Purchase Program (sup
port price program) 2,465,087 bales
of cotton of the 1944 crop at an aver
age price of about 22.31 cents a
pound, involving approximately |
$250,000,000. In addition it had pro- |
Lo o i T R T SWSP "s
THE BULLETIN, IRWINTON, GA.
pointed out that during the war thou
sands of cotton farmers had started
soil conservation practices and di
versified farming; there are con
stantly being discovered new uses
for cotton; the department has just
announced discovery of a new cot
ton fabric which will not mildew nor
rot which will be used extensively in
yards, threads, packaging and bag
ging; demand for cotton in other
countries will be at a new peak, al
though world carryover is at an all
time high; in the U. S., despite a
cancellation of 80 per cent of war
orders for cotton products, slack
will be taken up by the tremendous
backlog of civilian demands.
‘““‘American cotton will face not
only large stocks on hand . ~ . it will
face as well the need for better farm
practices if it is to hold its place
in the world market,” Secretary An
derson warned. He said, however,
that he is depending on co-operation
and American ‘“know-how’’ and an
increased export market to bring
cotton ‘‘marching home from war.”
In this connection it will be inter
esting for cotton farmers to note
that the Commodity Credit corpora
tion has been placed under the new
Production and Marketing adminis
tration in the new U, S. D. A. set-up.
In his message to the new ses
sion of congress, President Truman
urged that the half billion dollars
already set aside from lend-lease
funds for price support to agricul
ture, be transferred immediately to |
the Commodity Credit corporation.
In line with Secretary Anderson’s
intent to increase exports, the Pres- |
ident also urged stimulation of the |
export of not only cotton, but all |
farm commodities. Also the Presi
dent urged a further extension of |
the crop-insurance program, togeth- |
er with the assurance of reasonable |
and stable farm prices. |
Heroic Pup Gives Life :
To Save Two From Fire |
CHICAGO. — Edwin Lederer, 27, |
of 4245 Augusta blvd., owes his life |
and that of his 17-month-old daugh- |
| ter, Alvaline, to their pet -collie |
puppy, Doo-doo. |
* When fire spread through the |
rear of the three-story brick build
ing, Lederer was awakened by the
dog’s barking and smelled smoke.
He snatched the child from her
crib and ran down the front stair- |.
way to safety from his top-floor |
apartment. Eight other persons |
escaped from the buildjng. i
Lederer then attempted to re-enter
the burning building and rescue Doo- |:
doo, but was restrained by firemen. |:
Later the dog’s body was found |
among charred debris on the back |
porch. He apparently died of suffo- |
cation. j
Lederer, whose wife, Laverne, |
22, gave birth to a girl recently at |
the Illinois Masonic hospital, said: ,‘
“We're sure going to miss that |
puppy. He was only three months |
old, but he saved our lives.” .

Find Lost Motion in
Air Waves of Speech
There’s much lost motion of the
air waves which are set up by hu-'
man speech; in fact, the energy that
people put into their voice could be
cut in half without affecting the
clarity of conversation.
Although 60 per cent of the ener
gy in sound waves produced by the
human voice is contained in the low
notes having a frequency of less
‘than 500 vibrations per second, all
notes with frequencies under 500
could be filtered out without materi
ally affecting clearness of speech.
It might sound a little thin to the
ears, but the conversation would be
intelligible. However, if all the
notes with frequencies beyond 1,500
are eliminated, then one-third of the |
speech sounds are missing and con-‘
versation becomes difficult to under
stand but is partially intelligible be
cause of our ability to guess at and
fill in some of the missing sounds, |
Human speech consists largely of
sounds in the frequency range from
500 to 2,500. These sounds are rela
tively high-pitched, but the energy
behind them is substantially less
than that in air waves of low notes,
Canning Peaches
For canning, select firm, ripe
peaches, free from blemishes. Put
in a wire basket, dip in boiling wa
ter, and then dip quickly in cold
water. In this way, the skins will
slip off easily. Then place the peeled
peaches in a solution of three table
spoons of salt to four quarts of wa
ter to keep them from turning dark.
Use either a thin syrup made of one
cup of sugar to two and one-third
cups of water or a very thin syrup
made of one cup of sugar to four
cups of water. Peaches are sweet
enough to can successfully with a
very thin syrup if your sugar sup
ply is short. In making the syrup
add a cracked peach pit to each
quart of syrup, and strain out be
fore using. Simmer either the whole
peaches or peach halves in boiling
syrup from four to eight minutes
depending on the size or ripeness.
Do not cook until soft, however.
Pack at once, placing the halves
pit side down. Place the first half in
the center of the jar, and the other
halves around it overlapping the
center piece until the jar is full. Fill
the jar with hot syrup, seal accord
ing to the type jar used, and process
in a water bath 15 minutes, /
Radar Invisible Beam
Radar is based upon a beam of
Invisible short radio waves. These
waves can penetrate fog and dark
ness. When they strike a solid ob
ject, some of them are reflected
back, like echoes. These reflected
rays are converted into visible light
rays which form a shadowgraph pic
ture. Submarines, airships and
V-bombs are located and brought
within range of human vision in this
manner. Light, radio, x-rays and
radium emanations are all forms of
atomic radiations of energy, known
as electro-magnetic waves. They
form a spectrum of 60 octaves, of
‘which visible light is only one oc
tave, Radar, using rays below the
visible light band, thus extends in
directly human vision to a new set
of electro-magnetic waves.
Mildew-Proof Awnings
Duck or canvas shower curtains
and awnings can now be mildew
proofed as the result of experiments
conducted by textile specialists of
the department of agriculture. The
fabric is soaked 20 minutes in hot,
soapy water. The wet, sudsy ma-i
terial is then immersed in a solu
tion of cadmium chloride (a chem
jcal that can be obtained at most
drug stores), of 1% ounces of crys
tals to each gallon of water. Heat
the fabric in this solution 15 min
and hang on a rope line. A metal
line will discolor the material. Keep

Begonias require regular pruning
to keep them decorative. Branches
past maturity should be removed
back to the next branch or to the
crown of the plant. This is done to
stimulate vigorous new growth at
that point.

Every person, young or old,
should drink milk. Milk contains a

pound, more food for the money than
any other food material available.

You can squeeze large grapefruit
