Cotton Growing

State College - Agricultural Ex-
tension workers holding their an

College, got a previe wof the era
of mechanization which well may
revolutionize cotton production in
Mississippi
Wednesday was research day on
the extension conference, and the
extension workers under the lead
ership of Director L. I. Jones, heard
experiment station workers high
light their years work.
Agricultural leaders pointed out
that all these years cotton has been
high labor crop, with relatively
few of the mechanical devices in
general use-or applicable until
the present-such as have already
revolutionized the production of
corn. wheat, and hay. Two peak
labor periods apply to cotton, and
until recently only human hands
could WELD the hoe and do the
picking; and the acres one family
could pick and hoe was the prac-
teal limit Of cotton production by
that family even though little work
was to be done in other seasons.
Just how far mechanization can

by Miss May Cresswell, state home

Recent research in the field of
home economics was discussed by
DR.. Dorothy Dickins, head and
Miss Olive Sheets, associate home
economist. of the agricultural ex-
pertinent station. DR.. Dickins re-
viewed work completed or under
way not only in Mississippi but
also in many other states, on such
varied subjects as management by
the use of household devices suit
able for highest efficiency by the
housewife; housing, including new
construction plans and methods and
undermining of existing houses:
producer consumer education;
medical care; and textiles, includ-
ing those now familiar plus the
new fibers such as rayon, arlic,
piloita, velon, glass, kolac, and
others.
Discussing recent rsearch in
foods and nutrition, Miss Olive
Sheets told of the alarming prevail

nutritive value of common foods
as influenced by such factors as
