OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR j. S. COTTON
Favorable Situation Report
ed as Japanese Textile
Needs Grow.
BY FRANK I. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor.

The immediate outlook for American
| cotton is considered favorable in
Japan.
According to the United States di-
vision of foreign crops and markets,
total japanese cotton yarn and cloth
production and export reached near
| record figures during February. Ac-
tivity was stimulated by anxiety con-
cerning future business.
China, which now takes nearly half
the total exports of American wheat
and flour reported beneficial rains for
her own Winter wheat in the YangtZe
valley during the week. The valley
I is the principal domestic source of
wheat for Shanghai mills. Early re-
ports indicate some increase in the
Winter wheat acreage in North China
the country's most important wheat
region.
/ Germany Curbs Lard.
Monthly imports of lard into Ger
many have been limited to 40 per cent
| of average imports during 1878.
Quotas are based on previous trade
returns, which assures the United
States the largest share of the Ger
man import trade in lard. Estimates
States during 1884 will not exceed
65,OOO,0OO pounds, compared with
126. 100000 in 1893.
The United Kingdom has increased
| total imports of foreign-cured pork
3.5 per cent until July 81, whereupon
it will be decreased As below the cur
rent rate of import. At present rates
this countrys share of the British
trade is about 100000 pounds an
nually.
Hog production in New Zealand has
attracted considerable interest as a
result of the British market outlook
for empire pork 1t is reported that
Canadian shipments of cattle anG
New Zealand shipments of beef tc
England have been in excess of limi-
tations agreed upon.
Tobacco Trade Lags.
A large Chinese crop of flue-cured
tobacco substitution of domestic leal
for American leaf in cigarette manu-
facture and a curtailment of cigarette
consumption due in part to high taxa
ton, is reported from Shanghai.
The provinces of Shantung. Honar
and Anhwei have developed produc-
ton OF fue-cured tobacco from
American seed. There is evidence
that native leaf made up 100 900 ,o0(
pounds of the 100 900 900 pounds con-
sumed during the last year Chinese
factories now are using about rs pei
| cent American leaf and are expected
to increase the percentage during the
remainder of the crop year. but tota
consumption of American is not ex-
pected to equal the 90000000 pounds
last year Exports to China are run
ming one-third less than during
| 1929-3O
The volume OF United States ex.
ports of farm products during Febru.

STYLE CHATS

Since reading that 1900 or SO of
New York's teachers were found to
be halfwits I hesitate to believe ev-
erything I'm taught. However, it
now develops that a new MIRO
kleer stocking showing no rings and
no shadows has been manufacture
ed from the filament OF dead-tired
silk-Worms. The fibers Of a weary
silkWorm IS Harmonious moments are
much finer than those Of a fellow
early in the morning or just start
ing to work on his cocoon making,
and the result until now has been
that the varying fiber sizes result
ed in shadows in the final stocking
With this new system, two or three
filaments are worked together in
making the yarns, which averages
the texture. Needless TO say, with
the biggest sandal season in his
tory sweeping upon US, smart girls
will buy only sandalfoot hose.
