New Futures Contract
Adopted By The New
York Stock Exchange

NEW YORK - The membership
of the New York Cotton Exchange.
by ballot today, adopted a new
contract for the future delivery
of cotton. Trading in this new
contract will start June 1st,. and
will be for delivery in October
1856 and thereafter.
The salient features of the new
contract are: (a) staple basis
of one inch; (b) elimination of
7i8 inch staple cotton on de-
liveries, which will make the
minimum deliverable staple 1882
inch: Co full staple premium for
l 1872 inch cotton, and, on the
delivery of l lI16 inch cotton and
longer the full staple premium
for 1892 inch plus rs percent of
the difference between l 1i16 inch
and l 1872 inch, and I'D a mi
cronaire test reading of not less
than 3.5. These changes, while only
four in number, are fundamental,
and it is felt that the new con-
tract will offer a more equitable
hedging instrument to the trade.
Elimination from delivery of 7i8
inch staple, and cotton that will
micronaire less than 3.5 is the
| natural result of the breeding of
superior seed and the improvement
in farm production technique,
which have, in recent years. in
creased the average staple length
of the crop to over one inch and
improved the fineness and ma
turity of the fibers. In addition,
because of the economy Of opera
ton, the trend in the textile trade,
both domestic and foreign, has
had the effect of reducing the
demand for shorter staples and
thereby discouraging their growth.
The change in the stape nas's
of the contract is the result Of
these factors. Historically, a SIM
liar change was made in 1899,
when the staple basis was raised
from 7j8 inch to the current 1916
inch length to meet the demand
of the trade growing out of the
increase in the average staple
length at that time.
The staple premium for l 1882
inch cotton and longer on de-
livery under the current con-
tract is limited to the full average
premium for one inch plus so
percent of the difference between
one inch and / 1882 inch staple.
1t will be noted that the new
contract increases the premium
for the longer staples which
tends to bring it more in line
with spot values. Other reasons
for the higher premium are in
creased production of the longer
staple lengths and the increased
demand by the trade for the
longer fibers.
Contracts entered into under the
current terms will continue to be
traded in for delivery through
September 1856. After expiration
of trading in that month all con-
tracts for the future delivery of
cotton on the New York Cotton
Exchange will provide for the
changes adopted today.

Jet Picks All
American Squad

CHICAGO, Ill. = UCLA, Ohio
State and Michigan State, among
the nations top ten grid teams in
the seasons final ratings, shared
the major honors on JETS annual
All-American 1855 football team.
JET, the nations only Negro
weekly news magazine, announced
its All-America squad after it had
polled leading coaches and profess
sional scouts and waded through
a mountain of records assembled in
it's sports office. According to ex-
perts, the II stars on the first
team represents the cream of
Americas $4,000 collegiate players.
The first team is supported by a
second team that is only a shade
off the first in quality and this
year JET has added special men
ton section for players who were
of All-American potential but who
were shackled either by injuries
or small-school schedules.
BY vote of the JET All-Ameri-
can Board, the two outstanding
players of the year are Michigan
State quarterback Earl Morral'
and Ohio State Guard Jim Parker.
Morrall, named "Back of the
Year." earned his honor largely
by his unusual versatility. AS quar-
terback for Americas slickest col
legiate offense, Morrall operated
three prim ary formations -
straightT, single wing, and split
T with equal facility. He was a
standout passer, blocker, runner,
punter and safety.
Carnel Neumann, one special
mention selectee, gained 1,O11
yards for the small Chicago branch
of the University of illinois. Nate
Clark, (Hillsdale (Mich.) College
backfield ace, scored LA points.

Corn Fed Beef
Theory Is Shuky

The foundations of the 'corn-fed
beef is best" school are crumbling.
More and more, research is prov
ing that barley-fed beef gets just
as fat, just as quickly, and tastes
just as good as corn-fed beef. This
is of major Importance in Arizona,
since barley has always been the
most important grain in our cattle
feeding rations, reports AL Lane,
extension livestock specialist at
the University of Arizona. For
years, well-managed feedlots have
been getting excellent gains using
barley.
Allowing the same percentage of
concentrates, a ration using barley
fattens just as many choice steers
as the same ration using corn. Both
rations take about the same
amount of feed to make a pound of
beef.
California studies show there is
no difference between corn and
barley both as to amount of feed
needed to produce choice beef, and
daily gains. Beef from corn and
barley-fed steers was also COM
pared for flavor, tenderness, and
Juiciness. Results showed the bar
ley-fed beef equal to the corn-fed
beef in every respect. So, it is un-
likely that any difference exists be-
tween eastern corn-fed beef and
western barley-fed beef-if the de-
gree of finish, meat-aging methods
and cooking methods are the same.
There is a great difference be-
tween grain-fed and grass fat beef
Grass-fat beef does not have the
aroma, flavor, quality, or iuiciness
that comes with beef from cattle
getting concentrates

Star Tackle
Wins November
KeaqIe Award

John Jankans, star tackle for
the Arizona State College Sun Dew
lis, has been named Arizona's
"Athlete of the Month" by the
Keagle Memorial Sports Award
Committee.
Jankans received the award not
only for his fine work during No
vember, when his aggressive line
play was instrumental in ASC wins
over West Texas, Texas Western
and New Mexico AIM, but for his
fine play for four years as main
stay of the Sun Devil line.
The g. 21a" native of Reading,
Pa. was named to the All-Confer-
ence Team for the fourth consecu-
tive year, the first time in the his
tory of the Border Conference that
any player has ever done so. Called
by head coach Dan Devine, lone of
the finest linemen I have ever seen
anywhere, the big fellow is high
on the list of prospects of many
professional scouts.
Jankans recently earned another
distinction when he was chosen to
play for the West in the annual
East-West football game, to be
played in San Francisco on Decem
ber 31st. He was the only Border
Conference player selected for this
honor.
In a recent issue of LIFE maga-
zine, Frank Leahy, famed Notre
Dame football coach, selected Jan
kans as one of five players from
smaller colleges as outstanding pro-
fessional prospects.
Modest and unassuming. Jankans
was real leader among his team
mates, and was co-captain of the
Sun Devils this season.
There was plenty of competition
for the November award, as the
committee considered an outstand-
ing crop of candidates. Among
them were Bob Griffis, stellar
guard of the University of Arizona,
and two of Jankan's own team
mates, full-back Bobby Sedlar and
halfback Gene Mitcham.

KILL DEVIL HILLS CASE
BEFORE JUDGE c. R. MORRIS

Whether the town of Kill Devil
Hills can survive as an incorporat-
ed city as the result Of an election
held in May when narrow mar
gin of those voting, decided it
must be dissolved, is a question to
be passed on Saturday morning at
ten o'clock by Judge Chester +.
Morris, who will hear the case sit
ting in chambers in Currituck
courthouse.
Clayton Tillett brought the ac-
ton to uphold the validity of the
election which had been ruled in
valid by the late Attorney General
Harry Mcmillan. This ruling was
based on a provision that an cleo
ton could help on this issue on
petition of % per cent of those
voting in the last election. But
there had been no last election
since the town was created by the
legislature.
Mrs. Emily Mustian, the mayor,
and the town beard elected in May,
are contending the town exists and
under their direction it continues
to function as such. Opponents of
the town idea have hired attorneys
and are waging vigorous fight
in their cause.

THREE MORE
PERFORMANCES OF
THE LOST COLONY
Fifteenth Season Ends Sunday
Night; Started Well But
Crowds Kept Away By
Hurricane Scares

( Those who wish, to see the Lost
Colony this season have only three
more nights in which to do so. The
final curtain rings down Sunday
night for the 1855 season. It's
been a good show this year, and
things started off well, but at peak
of mid season Hurricane hysteria
interviewed to break down attend
ance, and resulted in curtailing
business all through the month of
August.
Before the hurricane scares
record crowds were visiting the
Dare beaches. Promotion and pub
licity for the area was paying off
in greater patronage. Never before
did the beaches have the volume
and quality of accommodations
which awaited visitors this season.
Adequate ferry service to Hat
teras Island for the first time, re-
suited in enormous travel to that
area, although most of it was for
the days journey only. Surely
about three fourths of the travel
appeared to be visitors who were
domiciled in the Mays Head area.
Sightseers to Hatteras Island be-
lieved they could see everything
worth while in that area in one
day trip, and even less. Only those
who had planned to enjoy the great
sportsfishing remained over. This
has to do with people living tempo
rarily in the Mays Head area. Of

BONNER ADVANCES
REASONS SEEKING
AID TO FISHERIES
Continued Rapid Decline in Sea-
food Industry Prompts Appeal
For Governors Aid

The seafood industry, and fish
ing of all kinds are mighty impor-
tant to North Carolina, Congress-
man Herbert C. Bonner believes,
and he has addressed an appeal
to Governor Hodges to give con-
sideration to the serious situation
that is being faced by both COM
mercial and sport fishermen.
Mr.. Bonner, as chairman of the
House Committee in Congress on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries,
presided over a weeks hearings in
March in Washington, which stud
led reports on Fish and Wildlife
in the United States. Along with
the problems facing other sections
of the country, he has witnessed a
growing problem in Eastern North
Carolina where all types of fish
ing are particularly important to
our people.
Mr.. Bonner believes a biologi-
cal study should be made of Pam
leo Sound based on which, the
sound should be divided into areas
reserved individually for shrimp
fishing, oystering and general fish
ing. Many fishermen believe that
so long as shrimp trawlers use
the entire bottom, they destroy
oyster beds, as well as natural fish
foods which grow on the bottom.
This subject will no doubt be
one of the most important ones to
come before the meeting of the
n. C. Wildlife Resources Commits
sion at Mays Head on September
10th.
In his letter to Governor Hodges
this week, Mr.. Bonner says:
"We have serious matter con-
fronting US relative to the rock
fish, or striped bass, in the waters
of eastern North Carolina. l am
told by responsible people in the

that unless something is done this
