Recent tests have revealed that strength and wearing quality is associ ated vy4h fine fiber, as much as it is with long fitSer. Heretofore growers and spin? ners alike highly prized Sea Island cot ton for its strength, took it for granted that it was the long fiber that was the essential characteristic. Experiments in the Department of Agriculture have exploded this beliet and indicate that strength is more a re sult of fineness of fiber than of length. In breeding to secure fine fiber, the De partment has turned to an almost worth less variety ot very low yield grown by llopi Indians in northeastern Arizona. Now Hopi isn’t a market cotton, since it yields only a tew pounds to the acre and is generally undesirable.- It docs have fine fibers remarkably unitonn in length and strong. Last year, the Department crossed Hopi with Acala cotton, a variety intro duced years ago by the Department from Hmthcrn Mexico. The results have been promising. Officials in the Department point out «hat a new supply ot superior quality tine->tapled cotton adapted to American londitions would help to hold and rc- claim the world market against all com petitors. • • • • Export Trade Chester C. Davis, tormer AAA Ad ministrator, recently appointed to the Federal Reserve Board, upon his recent return trom a two months survey ot humpeaii markets emphaM/ed the mi- IHjitamc to the American farmer ot a -ciliition ot our toreign trade problem. In a prrvs statement, he said: "In crease the toreign trade in out tarm produits ami our agruultural pioblem would lade accordingly—trade is ex- i lunge ot goods, it has to move both wayv it it does not there is no trade mu government is promoting reciprocal trade agreements — the l mted States now has concluded 14 ot these agree ments—eight ot these agreements have been in effect long enough to give us some idea how they are working -our agricultural cxpoits to these countries during the first quarter ot I'jjb increas ed 15 pci cent above the tarm exports tor the sanu- quaiter last year." • • • • Livestock Chemical warfare against injurious bacteria, viruses, and parasites has done much to reduce the hazards ot the live stock industry, according to Dr. John R. Mohler, Chiet ot the U. S. Bureau ot Animal Industry. While species ot livestock parasites number thousands, through diligent re search science has not only devised means of keeping such enemies down, but has succeeding m practically annihilating certain species. Dr. Mohler points out that the cam paign in the South against the cattle tick has reclaimed about 91 per cent of the A survey of milk consumption in M citips mods smdor tho direction of tho De partment of Agriculture discloses that the weekly per capita consumption of whoto milk was 2.44 quarts. Nutritionists spree that an adequate standard calls for between three and hva quarts a week. The survsjy establishes definitely the feet that there ■a a great defieiancy in the average amount of milk consumed by a largo number of families. The elimination of this deficiency would change the present milk surplus to a milk shortage. Tobacco Funds appropriated tor th'. redemp tion ot tobacco warrants arc available until Sept. 1, ‘tyjO. No checks can be ivsued after that date, according to a statement train the office uf the Secre tary ot Agriculture. These funds will be used to redeem tax payment warrants issued to eligible producers of Burley, Hue-cure, fire-cured, dark air-cured aiui ugar leaf tobacco. Contracting pioduccrs holding war rants eligible for redemption have been urged to tile their applications immedi ately with the tobacco section tot the Ag- rkultural Adjustment Administratioii, Wadiiiigton, D. C. County Agents throughout the tobacco producing area have been supplied with the necessary tonus and regulations. Only warrants issued to producers who signed tobacco production adjustment contracts arc eli gible to be redeemed. • . • • • Economic Advisor Dr. John l>ec Coulter, tormer mem ber ot the Li. S. Tariff Commission, and agricultural economist, has been appoint ed economic advisor to the Committee on Agricultural Cooperation ot the Na tional Association of Manufacturers. This committee is making a study of the tarm situation to give industry a better grasp ot the tanner's problem and to encourage a spirit of cooperation be tween agriculture and industry. The cunuuittee is headed by Lewis H. Brown, president of Johns-Manville Corpora tion. Dr. Coulter was at one time Dean of the West Virginia College of agri culture. He became chief economist of the Tariff Commission in 1929. luted and sold on the open market. Ac cording to Mr. Hetde, this procedure will work to the benefit of exhibitors whose animals have no chance of recog nition. Modernizing During the past 12 months, the De partment of Agriculture has had calls for 250,100 copies of Fanners Bulletin 1738. which contains sketches and Hour plans ot 40 houses, and there have been iiiiuitnerable requests tor other govern- mrnt bulletins providing information in building and modernizing. ITie Department ha4^iwy_new bulle tins ivsued this year: Fanners Bulletin ( 749> “Modernizing Farm Houses,’ containing plans, photos and sketches of visited us and upon our advice at spare >J typical farm houses remodeled by tunes, did enough work and secured their owners, and Farmers Bulletin samples, which he had assayed mui the 1751, ‘‘Roof Coverings For Kami Build- result is, the value of his farm today in mgs and Their Repair," which discusses mineral being produced is far more than shingles, bituminous coverings and can- he ever dreamed his entire farm was to cover printing and mailing. The modernizing bulletin, in addition to floor plans, photographs a^d sketches of typical farmhouses, contains descrip tions and costs of the work. Discussions cover electric power, heat and installa tion, water supply and plumbing, etc. • • • • Ticks Recent cases of Rocky Mountain spot ted fever near Washington, D. C., em phasize the need for vigilance against wood ticks that spread this disease, warns Dr. F. C. Bishopp of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture. Fortunately, Dr. Bishopp says, only a small proportion of these common ticks are infected. The disease, however, is widespread and has a high mortality. In the East, infested ticks are known to oc cur in Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina. A large percentage of the cases of spotted fever have been in Mary land and Virginia in the vicinity of Washington, D. C., and in North Car olina. Ticks are unusually abundant in the East this year. As many as IOO have been picked of! a dog at the end of a day in the woods. Ticks arc moat numer ous in the early Summer. Usually they practically disappear by Aug. 1, making the late Summer safer tor camping trips and hikes. Dr. Bi>hott|> point* out that ticks arc not likely to transmit the disease unless they remain attached to a body tor at least six hours. • • • • Minerals Isaac Van Horn, Editor of The Southeast Miner, calls attention to the opportunities open to many farmers to increase their cash income by the ex ploitation of various mineral deposits on their farms. In this respect Mr. Van Horn says: ‘In almost every section of the farm ing districts ot the Southeast, arc located minerals of commercial value if they were developed these deposits are re ceiving practically no attrntMMi what ever. "We wish to give an illustration—A fanner in Buncombe County, North Carolina, who for 25 years had plowed around a stony section on hu farm; he vas for roofs. In the fannhou.se plan bulletin are plans for one story “growing houses ' ot two or three rooms to which additions can be made readily. There arc houses for every section of the country.
