Government Ends
Use OF Cotton
Stamps In State

Issuance of cotton stamps 10
publie assistance families for the
purchase of cotton goods will be
terminated on April 30, in Ari-
zona. according to an announce
ment made this week by Jonathan
Carst western regional director
Of the Agricultural Marketing Ad-
ministration, L. S. Department OF
Agriculture.
Garst pointed out that elimina-
ton of cotton stamps in no way
affects the food stamp plan which
will continue in operation.
Withdrawal of issuance of cot
ton stamps as of April 80 is made
necessary by decreased budgets OF
the Department and the fact that
cotton goods mills currently are
operating at capacity to produce
war goods.
Arizona counties affected are
Maricopa. Cochise. Gila, Graham,
Pima. Pinal, Santa Cruz and
Yuma. A total of approximately
27,0OO persons, who now partici-
pate in the cotton stamp program,
win be affected by the termina-
ton notice.
