MANY new USES ARE
FOUND FOR COTTON

The people of the South are fast
awakening to the fact that increased
consumption of cotton products offers
the greatest hope of relief from the
present cotton situation, according to
a statement issued by the association
for the increased use of cotton from
its general headquarters in Columbia,
S. c. The association says that reports
are coming in daily from every sec
ton of the South telling of organized
movements getting under way in COM
munities to increase the sale of, cotton
products.
The association stated the Godchaux
Sugars, Inc, of New Orleans has just
purchased 100000 cotton bags at
a price of 100000 These will replace
jute.
Other developments reported by the
association are:
The Texas and Pacific railroad has
just purchased $1,000 worth of table
cloths and napkins for its dining car
service. Other railroads are being urg-
ed to purchase new cotton supplies at
this time.
Oil mills in Mississippi have pur-
chased large numbers of cotton sacks
and are advertising their cottonseed
meal for sale in cotton sacks.
The Skinner Macaroni company of
Omaha, Nebraska, is now selling its
products in cotton sacks.
THE Palmetto Compress and Ware
house Co., of Columbia, is using cot
ton Irvine in place of jute and reports
hat it is finding the cotton Irvine
very satisfactory. This company uses
1000 pounds of Irvine each year. 9th
er congresses, warehouses, oil mills,
ETC., are being urged to use this cotton
Irvine.
Large sales of cotton sacks to fer
tilizer companies have been reported,
indicating that much fertilizer will be
! sold in cotton sacks next year.
The association has received copies
of resolutions passed by civic clubs,
conventions, farm organizations and
women's clubs from North Carolina
to Texas urging increased use of cot
ton products.
The general assemblies of South
Carolina and Texas passed resolution.
urging the increased use of cotton pro-
ducts.
The Memphis Hotel Co., which op-
crates the Hotel Peabody and Other
hotels in Memphis, has announced that
every piece of linen in the Peabody
would be replaced by cotton. A hote
in Mariana, Ark, that il
has purchased a very large supply Of
cotton articles to replace other arti
cles.
Several newspapers over the Soutl
have started regular crusades for tn
increased use of cotton.

FARMER
MAY LACK CASH
BUT NOT FOOD

The cotton farmer isn't singing this
year as he picks the second largest
crop in history-not with cotton sell
ing at five cents a pound.
But he will have food enough for
his family, in most cases, thanks to
prohting by last years drought and
advice to diversity his crops. Some
how he will find, grain for his mules.
Instead of new clothes, the old ones
will be patched or perhaps his wife
will make garments from burlap bags
as she has been taught by government
extension workers.
Five cent cotton, generally speak
ing, means that the share cropper has
worked all season for nothing. His re-
turns will barely pay for his cash out
lay for feed, fertilizer, machinery, or
labor, although his production costs
this year were the lowest in a long
time.
A year ago the cost of raising a
pound of cotton, including all items,
such as cash expenses, the farmers
own labor, land and fuel, was between
Is and II cents a pound. The year
before it was 16 cents.
The agriculture department has no
figures on 1881 costs, but machinery,
fertilizer, cottonseed and ginning pric-
es have declined considerably. To econ
omize further, the farmer has dispens-
ed with everything but the essentials,
doing more work himself and buying
almost so per cent less fertilizer.
There are about 100000 cotton
farmers-renters and share troopers
who on the basis of this years 16,-
284,O bale harvest, will produce an
average of 8 bales apiece. At 500
sounds a bale and five cents a pound
dc return 40, the farmers labor
amounts to 5000.
The agriculture departments
weighted averaged of production costs
for 1880 was 135 as compared with
$50 in 1929. The average will be much
lower this year.
DR.. J. A. Evans, director of the
federal extension work for the south
ern region, has a word of optimism
despite the farmers plight. He finds
the farmer has lived more at home
this year, raised more food for his
family and in many instances is get
ting more for his crop than he ex-
pected.
Secretary Hyde cited the action of
the postofdce department in substitute
ing cotton Irvine for jute in tying
packages of letters. The p~ostoflce uses
about 80 carloads or close to 3,o00,-
900 pounds of Irvine annually.
The postofice, at the request of the
agriculture department, will advertise
for bids for 1,300,000,0o pounds of
cotton covering the needs of the post
office for six months beginning jan
uary /.

Association, said the day of the bois-
ferrous Charleston and Black Bottom
was far behind. She cited that no bet
ter evidence is needed than the popu-
larity of the Brazilian Machicbe, in
which can be recognized the Make
of 1914 vogue, but which is even
slower and more dignified.
The Machiche, the dancing instruc-
tors explained, suggests a greatly gen.
tied fox trot, with long, graceful
strides in two-step time, emphasizing
particular forward step in which
the heel touches the floor with the
toe raised.

EEZR{A3@4 Hints for the 0R&&@@
81 Household k:a
BY BETTY WEBSTER
GENERAL HINTS
Housecleaning

H~ousecleaning is not what it used
to be. 1t is not a thing one has to run
from or dread. With our new e%lectri-
cal Improvements and the vogue OF
eliminating non-essentials, has come the
period of almost constant cleanliness.
of course, to be really Glamour homes
must "have a BATH" so to speak, at
least once, and sometimes twice a
year. November is a good month for
this and leaves one fresh to enjoy the
holidays and the winter months. Some
good rules to follow are:
q l.. Begin with closets and draw
ers. This includes pantries.
How to clean closets:
(a) Hang heavy clothes and furs
; outdoors.
(b) Send soiled clothes to clean
(c) Give away to needy anything
you will not be able to use and
which will always be in the
way. Better some good than no
good.
ID Wash woodwork, floors and
drawers.
(e) Paint woodwork, drawers and
cracks in floors with turpen-
tine. Use a regular paint brush
for this. This leaves a closet
absolutely clean and free from
any insects.
2. Clean rooms, least used, first,
so that it will not be necessary t. trail
through them with dirt from other
rooms
;. Plan ahead for cleaning and
have plenty of rags, polishes and soaps
on hand.
4. Do one or two rooms at a time |
where possible, to avoid overtiredness
and making the whole family uncom-
Portable.
$. 1t is we'll to re-arrange some.
Add a few of the latest touches either
in drapes, furniture or bric-a-brac.
Put away or give away useless things,
so when through the rooms will
breathe of nominees, cleanliness and
good looks.
6. Try and avoid a cluttered ap-
pearance. Too much bric-a-brac means
endless busting, and needless homely
furniture detracts. Do not save. to the
point of having your things a burden
to you.
