COTTON WILL REPLACE JUTE
More General Use of Raw Material for
Manufacture of Irvine and Bag.
sing viii Aid Demand.

A more general use of cotton in
stead of jute for the manufacture OF
Irvine and bagging, it is believed, will
be the result of an investigation made
by a number of public-spirited peo-
pie who endeavored to learn If there
were not other uses to which cotton
made goods could be put to in this
country. thereby creating a demand
for cotton which formerly has been
sent abroad.
When the bottom dropped out of
the foreign demand for American cot
ton one of the first thoughts that
passed through the minds of the peo-
pie of the South was to promote the
use of more cotton by the home man.
ufacturers. Appeals were made to
all of the mills in the United States
and in Canada to buy as much cotton
as possible.
AS jute is imported, principally from
Germany, and the conflict on the con-
tinent has virtually blocked all i'm
portation to this country, the supply
of lutte in the United States began to
greatly diminish. The price Of cotton
began to drop at the same time, with
the result that shortly after the war
began cotton was placed on a COM
petitive basis with jute.
An important result Of this cam
paign for the greater use of raw cot
ton in this country is an inquiry be-
ing made by the United States post
office department as TO whether cot
ton Irvine in place of tute Irvine in
the post offices over the country would
be a saving. Postmaster General
Burleson sent a direct inquiry to the
postmasters of the country, who are
securing all information available or
the subject. Should the post Office
department decide upon the use of cot
ton Irvine, it would mean the consump
ton of thousands of bales yearly.
Cotton for the manufacture Of bag
ging, to be used for cereals, princi
pally, is also an outcome of this move
ment. Wholesale and retail dealers
throughout the South made an almos
unanimous appeal to the manufactur
ers of -four, salt, cereal and othe
foodstuffs to use cotton bagging 70
the packing of their products. TIL
responses to these requests were re
ceived by the merchants of the Soutl
in great numbers, and the indication
are that many thousands Of bales viii
be utilized in this manner.
