After Five-Year Search
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ANN ARBOR. Mich. Dc. 31.-A
University of Texas professor re-
ported today the discovery of panto-
thenic acid-the "acid of life'-after
a five-year search that was more
difficult than finding a needle in
haystack
The discovery was made by Prof.
Roger j. Williams. who said that pan
tothenic acid. a little-known vitamin
believed essential to all forms of life,
was literally CONSTRUCTED" in the
laboratory after its molecular struc-
ture had been ascertained.
Reporting his findings to an
American Chemical Society sympo-
SUM. Prof. Williams said that the
rare vitamin. one of the B COM
plex. had never before been obtained
in pure form from natural sources.
He said the acid was extracted
from liver tissue after five years Of
research and that preparation OF
the first one-tenth of gram OF the
pure vitamin cost nearly $4,000
To-day. one-tenth of a gram of
pure pantothenic acid built up in
the chemical laboratory can be pur-
chased in the drugstore for less
than a dollar" Prof. Williams said.

National Cotton
Marketing Quotas
Are Announced

National cotton marketing quotas
Tor the marketing year beginning
August l, 1912, were, announced to-
day by the Secretary of Agriculture
Claude r. Wickard, and Saturday
December Is, 1941 was set for the
referendum. The 1912 National acre
age allotment will be approximate
ly 27.400,000 acres, or about the
same as last year. Farmers who
plant within their acreage allot-
ments, may market all the cotton
grown on these acres.
The 1912 quotas will not become
effective unless approved by two
thirds of the eligible producers who
vote in the referendum. If approval
is given this will be the fifth year
quotas have been used by cotton
growers.
Cotton Is one of the surplus
crops for which no acreage in
crease is asked in 1942 under the
Farm Defense Program. Faced by
restricted world markets, we have
on hand a supply of about twice
the size of recent crops.
The quota measure" the Secre-
tary said, has proved itself essen
tial protection to cotton growers
against the tremendous surplus. In
times like these when we need all
our national strength, economic as
well as productive, quotas as part
OF the National Farm Program
take on added importance.
Approval of quotas to help adj
just the surplus will make possible
continued use of loans, and we know
from experience this year the loans
work hand In hand with quotas to
protect cotton income"
Under provisions of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act of 1898, as
loans are prhobited in
years when quotas are rejected by
