AS INCREDIBLE AS it may
seem, the Department of Agricul
ture is upset over the prospect of
an increase in the price of cotton
this fall and has asked Congress to
do something about it.
True D .
Morse, acting
for Secretary
of Agriculture
Ezra Benson,
has written the
House and Sen
ate Committees
on Agriculture
e x pressing
alarm about the fact that the more,
rapid-than-anticipated depletion of
the nation’s cotton surplus is ex
pected to result in a mandatory
increase in cotton price supports
for the 1957 crop. He called for im
mediate Congressional action on
proposed legislation to offset such
increases by giving the Secretary
further authority to cut support
prices for basic commodities.
* • •
IN ACCORDANCE WITH the
present farm law, the Department
on February 9 announced a support
price for upland cotton of 28.15
cents per pound for %-inch mid
dling grade. The law requires that
this figure be re-evaluated at the
beginning of the marketing season
and raised if supplies have fallen
below certain fixed levels.
Because of the laudable, if be
lated, vigor with which the De
partment this year has imple
mented Public Law 480 and com
panion statutes to sell surplus
American cotton abroad, exports
for the current year will be in
excess of 7.5 million bales, more
than one million above earlier' esti
mates, and exports for next year
will be much greater than the anti-

Birthday Dinner
About one hundrerd friends
and relatives gave Mr. and Mrs.
■lj. P. Thompson a birthday din-
J ner Sunday, August 11 at their
home.
The dinner was served under
the oak tree that was planted by
Mr. Thompson in 1910.
They received lots of nice and
' useful gifts—one being a large
window fan given by theii- close
friends.
All of their children were pres
ent; five daughters and one son,
eight grandchildren and all but
one attended.
| The lovely birthday cake was
baked by Mrs. J. O .Predue. Seve
ral snapshots were made during
the noon hour.
I Mr. and Mrs. Thompson are
' grateful to their many friends
and relatives for making this a
' wonderful day.
■ cipated 4.5 million bales. This will
invoke the so-called "escalator”
! clause of the farm law requiring a
i higher support price.
' “It now appears,” Mr. Morse
wrote, “that the law will require
price supports for the 1957 crop to
. be increased above the 28.15 cents
i per pound level. ... It is therefore
> urgent that legislation be enacted
in this session of Congress as we
. have recommended.”
» » *
’ THE ARGUMENT OF the Agri
-1 culture Department that such an
’ increase in the support price will
, result in the creation of a greater
eotton surplus indicates that the
Secretary and his associates either
fail to understand or have no faith
in the programs which Congress
has given them at their request to
prevent just such an eventuality.
Congress passed Public Law 480
to encourage the exportation of
surplus commodities for sale on
the world market and enacted the
Soil Bank Program to reduce pro
duction of these same commodities
here at home. The objective of
these programs was to create a
more stable market on which the
farmer could demand and receive
higher and more realistic prices
for his produce.
If the Agriculture Department
will properly and vigorously ad
minister the laws now on the
books, there is no reason why an
increased support price on cotton
should result in a new surplus. The
cotton farmer deserves this long
overdue increase and I do not
believe Congress will be in the
mood to deny it to him.

Toward the end of summer, the
outdoor living area may take on
a slightly dingy appearance. Soot
and dust wafted by summer
breezes settle on the window sills,
doors, porch railings dulling the
color of the paint. But it doesn’t
take long to restore that “fresh
painted” look. In the cool of the
morning, dissolve the special
cleaner for painted surfaces and
floor coverings in a pail of water.
Dip a sponge in the solution,
wring it almost dry and wash the
grime away. No rinsing is re
quired to make everything spar
kle. While the equipment is there,
do the garage door, too, the pillars
in the carport or breezeway, the
children’s swings and, of course,
the lawn furniture.
a
Wondrous things will happen in
the fabulous miracle kitchen that
has been on display across the
country. By the mere push of a
button the floor will be kept spot
less by a mobile cleaner that
comes from its nest in the wall
to vacuum, wash and wax before
returning to its place. It’s a lovely
dream, but still only a dream.
Until it’s a reality, today’s home
maker need not despair over the
way she cleans her floor now. By
using a modem cleaner such as
Spic and Span, designed specifi
cally for hard-surface floorings
and painted surfaces, she can
clean her floors in a jiffy. A quick
once-over with a mop wrung al
most dry, out of the solution, and
the floor is clean. No rinsing or
wiping dry is needed. It’s the next
best thing to remote control.
o
Among your vacation trophies,
did you gather some driftwood for
making exotic flower arrange
ments? Here’s the easiest way to
clean it. Make a solution of the
special cleaner for floors and
painted surfaces, dip a stiff brush
into it and scrub each piece thor
oughly. Allow to dry. If you want
it a lighter color after the sand
and dirt have been removed,
brush with a liquid bleach solu
tion. Rinse and dry.

How Women Earn
$150,000,000 at Home
Paid in Savings from Home Canning
Here is how it works. Take peaches as an example and
first find out how much it costs to put up one quart.
w
SUGAR
FOR SYRUP
JAR Q
3* +3 C 15*- 2V
At 21c per quart, good freestone peaches are a bargain. You
usually save at least 10c per quart compared to what you would pay
for commercially canned (No. 2^ tin is about 10% less than 1 qt.).
Savings are still greater when you grow your own peaches, or buy
them at less than the above price.
In these calculations, the jar cost is figured on a 10 year jar life,
as shown by independent surveys. Fuel cost was developed from
tests, while lid and sugar figures are based on current prices. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture shows the yield from a bushel of
peaches to be IS - 24 qts.
Similar calculations for other items, such as tomatoes and relishes,
show comparable savings; so that it is conservative to say that home
canning saves 10c per jar. Studies made by a leading research
organization show that well over 1,500.000,000 jars are canned each
year. Here. then, is how women make big home earnings by home
canning: 1,500,000,000 jars canned X 10c = $150,000,000.
