Plum Branch, S. C.» ; March 23, 193l<—2t. t mi Extension Of New ! Uses For Cotton i i ' ^Usc-Once-Only” Collar Sought by British Cotton Industry The problem of producing a stiff cotton collar at a sufficiently low price to permit of its being dis carded after once wearing is now the subject of research in Lancash ire, as part of a new-uses-for-cot- ton campaign conducted by the British mdustry, according to a speech recently delivered by a British textile executive before the Oldhams Technical Association, the Department of Commerce is in formed in a report from Trade Commissioner, Mr. William L. Kil- coin, London. The extension of new uses for cotton offered great potential pos sibilities for Lancashire, the Eng lishman stated, and he urged man ufacturers and allied trade inter ests to give attention and support to this movement. As an exam ple, he pointed out that the boot and shoe industry should provide a much larger outlet for cotton goods. The box-toe now made from leather and fibre composition, he contended, could be strengthened by a heavy cotton cloth; cotton linings could be increased in area and the heel could be made up of compressed or laminated layers of cotton. In the new uses of cotton fab rics he saw an excellent substitute which would fill the looms and en able Lancashire to consume con siderable quantities of cotton yarn. Lancashire would have to modern ize her processing machinery and ideas, but there were in the sug gestions now being put forward un doubted possibilities for machine employment which should be prosecuted to the full. Curtailing in German Cotton Industry Leading associations in the German cotton' spinning industry have resolved on measures effect ing a curtailment of production for a provisional period of six weeks, beginning March 16, 1931, reports S. Hermann, clerk to Commercial Attache, Berlin. This resolution was adopted almost unanimously by the entire German cotton spin ning industry ,which comprises ap proximately 10,000,000 spindles. During the provisional period of curtailment the commission will attempt to secure such informa tion as will enable them to judge the efficacy of their plans. Little Change Reported In Australian Textile February business in soft goods in Australia showed little improve ment over the preceding month al though the late clearing of sum mer lines was encouraging, Trade Commissioner E. C. Squire, Sydney, reports in a radiogram to the De partment of Commerce. Business in winter goods (the Australian seasons are the reverse of those in the United States) has been de layed. Local wool mills report in creased activity and prices of wool piece goods have strengthened on account of the improvement in the wool market. A scarcity of supplies of kome lines of imported wool goods has been noticeable for some time but imports continue on a re stricted scale and stocks on hand are moving slowly but steadily. Owing to high duties and the exchange premium retailers are indenting on an unusually small scale. Cotton goods buyers have been somewhat more active in March. American voiles are popu lar and printed cotton dimities from the United States are in keen demand. Business in denims is quiet. The expense of remitting overseas drafts has affected the business in mercerized cotton yarns, but satisfactory stocks are still on hand. Business in wearing apparel is reported practically sta tionary. Argentine Textile Ordering Delayed The Argentine market for cotton yarns remained unchanged with demand for mercerized yams fair but business in carded yams dull during the third week of March, Commercial Attache Alexander V. Dye, Buenos Aires, advises the De partment of Commerce. * Textile ordering improved slightly but the volume is still far below that of the corresponding period of last year. Agents are of the opinion that many buyers are postponing orders until May. X One company in the Belgian Congo will produce about 40,000 500-pound bales of cotton this year, says a Foreigri Service reporter. -X Connecticut has 17 State forests, containing 56,363 acres, and dis tributed through 8 counties. 46 LONGING LEGAL LEGAL LEGAL t (H. H. Farris) If you but realized how I’ve longed To see you, dear, and hear again The tone of your loved voice, you would not stay away, And leave me in this dull town alone; I hunger for you as a captive longs To break his shackles and be free But I would always be your cap tive, dear, not have a thought or wish for liberty. You have a certain way of smiling That like a sunbeam on a cloudy day, Brighten the corners into rediance And fills me with joy I cannot say; You have a shy and tender way of saying ‘T love you,” as no one can say ' like you A sweeter sound than when the Angelus • Rings out at time of eventide and dew. ! I’m hungry for you, hoping every hour will bring me word that soon you will be back, For I am lonely since you are away Your presence is the • one thing I lack To cause my heart to throb with joy again To make my gray skies—skies of azure blue I count the hours ’till I shall see you, dear, for I am hungry for a sight of you.* txt ‘Thoughts at Twilight’ (Patty Ann Ross) While I am sitting in the twilight Thoughts come flickering thru Bringing back the long ago sight— School days, play times, and ro mancing with you. You the barefoot boy of my dreams Come into my mind to repeat Days we sauntered in—it seems In the old school room to our seat. . . I—the freckeled face girl , At your side would frolic to and fro Dark straight hair, had I—never a curl But I was carefree and always on a go. f The teacher read from God’s Book And had us say the morning pray’r T’was then you pressed my hand to look Gum and candy you had for me there. I think of the quarrels we had I see your smile as you said so sweet, “I’m sorry, Martha, I’ve been bad!” And you screwed your toes in the leaves ’neath your feet. Around my heart creeps a pain As my thoughts take me to you T’is you I call in vain Twilight darkens—leaving me blue. txt Controlling The Southern Corn Root- worm Or Budworm CLEMSON COLLEGE, Mar. 24.— To escape serious injury by the southern com rootworm, or bud- worm, Alfred Lutken, extension en tomologist and plant pathologist, recommends that corn be planted on or shortly after the following dates: Lower South Carolina, May 5. Middle South Carolina, May 10. Piedmont region, May 20. Com planted on these dates will escape serious injury by the first generation larvae, will grow faster, and will be large enough to escape serious injury by the second gen eration larvae. Injury to com is usually more severe on bottom lands and follow ing winter leguminous crops. If it is necessary to plant com early, the land should be broken and kept free of vegetation for about three weeks before planting. In some cases it will be advisable to drill about twice as much grain as is needed for a good stand, particul arly on bottom land. This can be thinned out later if necessary. As the adult beetle, commonly called the twelve-spotted cucumber beetle, overwinters in trash and dead grass, all such places around the field should be burned during the winter.
