Gastonia Has Good
Cotton Show
GASTONIA, N. C„ March 7.—
Climaxing an intensive “Wear Cot
ton” campaign inaugurated here
several months ago, to stimulate
the use of all kinds of cotton goods,
there was held here yesterday and
today a Cotton Festival, perhaps
the most unique of its kind ever
staged in the South. Thousands
of people from the Piedmont Caro-
linas came last night to witness a
style show which consisted of a
most elaborate display of the lat-
e*t and most fashionable women’s
garments, modeled by more than
seventy beautiful Southern girls
who acted as mannikins for the
merchants and manufacturers.
Special features of the style
show were addresses made by Dr.
W. H. Frazer, D. D., L. L. D., a na
tive of Alabama, but at present the
President of Queens-Chicora Col
lege, Charlotte, N. C., and Dr. Dav
id R. Coker, L. L. D., Ph. D., of
Hartsville, S. C., who is Imown over
the entire South as having done
more to help the fanner than any
living man or organization.
Co-operating with the Gastonia
Woman’s Club in presenting this
Cotton Fashion Show were the
Cotton-Textile Institute of New
York and the Durene Association
ef America, headquarters New
York, and a large number of Car
olina merchants. The above or
ganizations sent personal represen
tatives to assist in preparing dis
plays and putting on the Cotton
Festival.

At the suggestion of the Gas
tonia Woman’s Club, which inaug
urated and is now sponsoring the
“Wear Cotton” campaign, about
10,000 letters from various business
organizations in Gastonia, N. C.,
hav& been sent within the past ten
days to the twelve Southern cot
ton growing states, telling of this
campaign and asking that the
same idea be used to forward the
use of cotton in those states. The
Gastonia Woman’s Club has also
written a personal letter to the
President of every woman’s organ
ization in these twelve states. Each
letter sent out was accompanied
by & pamphlet explaining the ob
jects ancf details of this “Wear
Cotton” campaign and urging the
recipient to help the South become
“cotton-minded.”
This is the first general South
wide campaign ever put on by any
organization to boost the uses and
beauties of cotton fabrics. It is
being done as an educational fea
ture to give some idea to the con
sumer as to the uses of cotton, the
beauties of cotton fabrics, and
their manner of style and charms.
It is expected that before the sea
son has gotten well under way the
effects of this campaign will not
only have reached every point in
the South, but will have penetrated
the Northern and Eastern resorts,
where styles are always the pre
dominant note among fashionable
society.

C OMPARE a package of Camels with
any other cigarette and note the
difference in the technique of packing.
Note that Camels are completely en
closed in an outer transparent cover of
moisture-proof cellophane and sealed
air-tight at every point.
We call this outer shell the Humidor
Pack. It differs from the ordinary cello
phane pack and while it is egg-shell
thin, it means a lot in terms of cigarette
enjoyment.
It means, for instance, that evapora
tion is checkmated and that Salt
Lake City can
now have as good
Camels as Winston-
Salem.

PittHburdh Testing Laboratory Report N?150473-JanJ2.I931
The Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory chart above
graphically shows you that only the Camel Humidor
Pack delivers cigarettes to you in prime condition
The Humidor Pack insures that. It
prevents the fine tobaccos of Camels
from drying out and losing any of their
delightful flavor.
Aside from cheap tobacco, two fac
tors in a cigarette can mar the smoker’s
pleasure:
Fine particles of peppery dust if left
in the. tobacco by inefficient cleaning
methods sting and irritate delicate
throat membrane.
Dry tobaccoy robbed of its natural
moisture by scorching or by evapora
tion gives off a hot smoke that burns
the throat with
every inhalation.
We take every
precaution against
these factors here
at Winston- Salem.
A special vacuum
cleaning apparatus
removes dust and
now the new Humi
dor Pack prevents

this quality, that these cigarettes come Check the difference yourself
to you with their natural moisture It is a very simple matter to check the
content still intact* difference between Humidor Packed
%
Camels and other ordinary dry cigarettes*
First of all you can feel the difference
as you roll the cigarettes between your
fingers. Camels are full-bodied and
pliable. A dry cigarette crumbles under
pressure and sheds tobacco.
If you will hold a cigarette to each ear
and roll them with your fingers you can
actually hear the difference.
The real test of course is to smoke them.
And here’s where the new Humidor Pack
proves a real blessing to the smoker.
As you inhale the cool, fragrant smoke
from a Camel you get all the mildness
and magic of the* fine tobaccos of which
it is blended.
But when you draw in the hot smoke
from a dried cigarette see how flat and
brackish it is by comparison and how
harsh it is to your throat.
If you are a regular Camel smoker
you have already noticed what proper
condition of the cigarette means.
But if you haven’t tried Camels in
the new Humidor Pack you have a new
adventure with Lady Nicotine in store.
Switch your affections for just one
day, then go back to your old love
tomorrow if you can.

HENRY W. GRADY ON COTTON
(The Augusta Chronicle.)
Suspends Sentence
Of McCormick Man
Governor I. C. Blackwood on Fri
day granted a suspension of sen
tence to Frank Hodges of McCor
mick after he had served three
months of an eight months’ term
on gang for violation of the liquor
laws. The suspension is upon the
condition of good behavior
“Good, substantial citizens of
high repute in his county,” the
governor said, “assert that Hodges
is not a regular bootlegger. The
facts indicate that he was found
with a small quantity of less than
one quart on his person. ... It ap
pears to me that three months is a
reasonably sufficient punishment
for this offense. • • .

It may tafct money toj make
money, but it also takes money to
lose money.
Readers of The Chronicle have
seen a great deal in this newspa
per lately about meetings that
have been held throughout this
section urging the farmers to live
at home and reduce their cotton
acreage. What is being said now
was said by Henry W. Grady, illus
trious Southern editor, 44 years
ago in a speech at Dallas, Texas,
when the great Georgian reached
supreme heights of oratory as
he pleaded with his fellow men of
the South not to depend upon a
one crop system alone.
Here is an extract from Grady’s
Dallas speech, which is so splendid
an example of oratory and patri
otism that it will never die, and
generations yet unborn will be
taught the words of Grady:
“No one crop will make a peo
ple prosperous. If cotton held its
monoply under conditions that
made other crops impossible, or
under allurements that made oth
er crops exceptional, its dominion
would be depotism.
Whenever the greed for a
money crop unbalances the wisdom
of husbandry, the money crop Is
a curse. When it stimulates the
general economy of the farm, It Is
the profit of farming.
“To raise cotton and send its
princely revenues to the west for
supplies, would be misfortune if
soil and climate forced such a
curse. When both invite inde
pendence, to remain in slavery is
a crime. To mortgage our farms
for money with which to buy meat
and bread from western cribs and
smoke-houses, is folly unspeak
able.
“When every farmer in the South
shall t eat bread from his own fields
and meat from his own pastures
and disturbed by no creditor
and enslaved by no debt, shall sit 1
among his steeming gardens and !
orchards and vineyards and dairies
and barnyards, pitching his crops
in his own wisdom and growing
them in independence, making
cotton his clean surplus, and sell
ing it in his own time and in his
chosen market and not at a mas
ter’s bidding—getting his pay in
cash and not in receipted mortgage
that discharges his debt, but does
not restore his freedom—then shall
be breaking the fullness of our
day.
“Great is King Cotton; but to
lie at his feet while the usurer
and grain-raiser bind us in sub
jection, is to invite the contempt
of man aAd the reproach of God.'
But to stand up before him, and
amid the crops and smoke-houses
wrest from him the magna charta
of our independence, and to estab
lish in his name an ample and
diversified agriculture, that shall
honor him while it enriches us—
this is to carry us as far in the
way of happiness and independ
ence as the farmer, working in the
fullest wisdom and in the richest
field, can carry any people.”
Certainly nothing that has been
said since or was said before Grady
could equal this. He was telling
the farmers of the South in 1887
just what we are telling them now,
but they did not heed him, and
hence our economic distress. How
ever, Henry W. Grady did not have
the boll weevil to help his message
along.

Experiments to determine the
relative feeding value of alfalfa
meal and alfalfa hay show that
grinding the hay does not alter its
composition, and although the
feeding value is usually increased
somewhat, this may not be suffi
cient to pay for the cost of grind
ing. The chief advantages of the
meal are that it is more conven
ient form and is fed with less
waste than hay. Thei* is also con

It is possible to prevent the for
mation of destructive and waste
ful gullies in any region in the
South where Bermuda grass will
grow. When planted in newly
formed or even in old and large
gullies, it catches the washed-
down soil, holds it in place, and
stops the gullies. Planting this
grass in newly formed gullies will
soon smooth them off. Bermuda
grass will also protect levees from
washing. This grass grows well on
almost any soil which is fertile and
not too wet, but it does better on
heavy soils.

Battery Brooding
Proper feeding is important in
battery brooding of poultry, since
the chicks have no chance to get
the green feed, minerals, and in
sects usually picked up on range.
Feed the chicks an all-mash ration
which should include minerals,
milk, and some substitute for green
feed-alfalfa meal, for example. The
U. S. Department of Agriculture
has obtained excellent growth ini
chicks confined to brooder houses
on the following all-mash ration:
40 per cent yellow com meal, 22
per cent ground wheat, 10 per
cent corn gluten meal, 10 per cent
dried buttermilk, 10 per cent meat
scrap, 3 per cent fine oyster shell,
2.5 per cent alfalfa-leaf meal, 2
per cent yeast, and 5 per cent salt.
The department recommends add
ing from 1 to 2 per cent cod-liver
oil (mixed fresh in the ration ev
ery 10 days). Cod-liver oil pre
vents leg weakness caused by lack
of vitamin D and sunlight.

Try a mock duck when you want
a palatable, inexpensive, baked
meat. It’s really a flank steak,
stuffed with a bread crumb dress
ing, rolled, tied, and baked. Be sure
to roll lengthwise so that in carv
ing the meat is cut across thg
muscles.
