COTTON COMMERCE
1938 Figures Show Rank
ing of Markets for Staple
New Uses Sought to Increase
Domestic Consumption
Department of Commerce statis
tics for the 1938 calendar year, now
available, show that shipments of
American cotton were made to 41
different countries, with Japan,
United Kingdom, and France the
largest foreign buyers in the order
named.
The total exports to all countries
in 1938 were 4,316,000 bales, which
compared with 6,221,000 bales, the
yearly average for the previous five
years and an average of 7,641,000
bales for the five-year period 1927-
1932.
Government agencies and leaders
in the trade are working toward
policies which, it is hoped, will
bring about a reversal of this trend.
In the meantime, the relative im
portance of American industry, as
the chief consumer of American
cotton, has been increasing.
In view of the unfavorable export
situation, efforts are being re
doubled to increase domestic con
sumption, which in 1938, amounted
to 5,783,465 bales. Chief among
these are the promotions behind
National Cotton Week, May 22 to
May 27, and the extensive research
work being done to develop new
uses for the staple.
In the latter connection, encour
aging progress is reported, accord
ing to a review in the current issue
of The Arcadian Grower, farm
magazine published by the distrib
utors of Arcadian nitrate of soda.
The Grower further points out
that among the recent develop
ments, which today are increasing

CHATTANOOGA WILL FEATURE
PASSING—GOOD LINE.
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn., April 3.—As
the University of Chattanooga grid squad
goes into its final week of spring prac
tice. indications point to a fairly fast
team for 1939, featuring an aerial at
tack unmatched at Chattanooga during
the past several years.
The main threat of the new offense
will be centered around the passing abil
ity of Frank Orend, who was considered
the outstanding passer in the Dixie con
ference last year and was voted by Army
to be the best passer that they faced
during the entire season. The Moccasins
have another slinger in Eugene Jackson,
who will also be heard from next fall.
The Chattanooga line shapes up at

HITCH-HIKER FINDS
SURE WA Y TO RIDE
ELBERTON. —Not only are there
new and modern trends in the wom
en’s hats, but we find they are also
in the hitch hiker’s equipment. The
other day Policeman Hal Fortson,
of Elberton, picked up a hitch-hiker
who was standing by the side of the
road with a five-gallon gasoline can
in his hand. Thinking the man had
run out of gas he offered to give
him a lift. After the man was situat
ed in the car, he smiled and showed
the officers how he had fashioned the
can into a suitcase that held his
clothes. He said his invention never
failed to get a lift for him because
few drivers would pass a man whom
they thought was walking to his car
with a can of gas.
