the wearing apparel market. Ray
on production has grown until it
is equivalent to almost 3,000,000
bales of cotton per year. Paper is
being used in products which oth
erwise would consume 2,000,000
bales of textile fiber.
Advertisement and cost of mate

the use of a commodity. The Na

Democrats Still Act
The Same, After All
Convention Hall Chicago, July
22.—A great political fear has been
removed. Democrats still act like
Democrats.
Almost every speaker in the Na
tional Democratic Convention has
referred to those ill-behaved Re
publicans who, they said, made
such a spectacle of themselves in
their convention. Thank heavens,
said the Democratic speakers,
looking righteous, we aren’t like
that.
And for a long time, they wer
en’t. As a result, yesterday’s af-
ternon session, except for the ap
pearance of that reluctant candi
date, Gov. Adlai Stevenson of Illi
nois, was one of the dullest in his
tory.
Last night’s was the same way,
until about 10 o’clock
This naturally disturbed old-
timers who have maintained that
for a knockdown, show-’em-no-
mercy fight you can’t beat the
Democrats.
Then civil rights came up, and
the fight was on. The gloves were
off. No one was worrying how the
convention looked on television.
Democrats acting like Democrats,
just like old times.
The Democrats are getting cne
real break. This huge hall in the
stockyards is air-conditioned. To
be sure, the Republicans had the
same air-conditioning, but the
weather was nice anyway.
* Now Chicago is headed toward
an all time heat record of consecu
tive days above 90. Yesterday it
was around 78 inside the hall, and
99 outside.
Gov. G. Mermen Williams of
Michigan, has one of the neatest
campaign trademarks. Let Sen.
Estes Kefauver of Tennessee, have
his coonskin caps. Did you ever
try wearing a coonskin in 99 de
gree heat?

Copies of the program are ex

Those of you who cannot attend
the entire week would probably
like a copy of this program in or
der to attend the days with pro
grams appealing the most to you.
Boll Weevil Infestation Increasing
Results of boll weevil checks
last week showed 9.85 per cent in

Delegates from Dixie oppose both

A convention floor battle on this
question still stood out as a possi-
biliy.
Meanwhile, the drafters ran into

ed within ten days. Most
showed a considerable increase
over the previous week. This is
due to the fact that young weevili
are hatching out. Farmers are
urged to continue dusting because
with the increase in weevil popu
lation and the decrase in squaring
boll weevils will start puncturing
the young bolls.
Aphids have been noticed in
some fields. If aphids become a
problem use BHC at the rate of 15
pounds oer acre.
If boll worms become a problem,
control with DDT. Use 15 pounds
per acre of dust, containing 10 per
lina, of the House Agriculture
Committee.
This draft endorsed a stand tak
en by President Truman that prices
of major crops should be support
ed a not less than 90 per cent of
parity on a permanent basis. Par
ity is a standard for measuring
farm prices, declared by law to be;
equally fair to farmers and those
who buy their products.
Some delegates were urging that j
the party re-affirm a position it
took in 1948 endorsing flexible
