BOARD TO GET FINAL IN- STALLMENT OF $500,000,000 SUM THEN WASHINGTON, May 5.—When the new crop year opens, July 1, the Farm Board will have approx imately $200,000,000 available to as sist farmers through co-operatives to market their products. On April 15 it had more than $100,000,000 of which slightly less than $60,000,000 was uncommitted. The final installment, $100,- 000,000 of the board’s $500,000,- 000 revolving fund becomes avail able July 1. Repayment of loans by co-operatives is expected to offset expenditures in the interim. The American Cotton Co-opera tive Association, national selling agency for cotton co-operatives, fixed the middle of April as the final date for making loans on the present season’s crop. Prior to August 1 conferences will be held to determine the basis for next season’s financing. Co-operatives handled 2,300,- 000 bales of cotton this season, about twice as much as last. Pri mary financing was done through commercial and international cred it banks up to about 65 per cent of market value. The board’s sup plemental loans totaled $22,000,- 000. All loans made by the board, including stabilization activities since organization in July, 1929 total $478,000,000, of which $178,- 000,000 has been repaid, plus $4,- 000,000 interest. The largest items outstanding involve stabilization purchases. How much loss, if any, the board will sustain remains to be reck oned when its wheat stocks, esti mated now at 200,000,000 bushels, and its 1,300,000 bales of cotton are sold. XXt Would Create Bigger Demand For Cotton which the most skilled designers can conceive, will be held on Wed nesday evening at The Tubman High School or at the Imperial | U armers J Illy 1 i Theatre, the location not having j been decided definitely thus far. Every garment shown in the style exhibit, which probably will be repeated on the following even ing, will be made of cotton ani those who are arranging the event declare that the dresses shown will rival in beauty those made of the finest and most expensive silks. Al ready a large company of the most beautiful girls to be found is be ing trained to serve as models. The Junior League of Augusta will bring the festivities to a close Friday evening with a Cotton Ball, to be held at the Night Owl Club and here too, all who dance will be required to wear cotton garments. The purpose of the movement, as explained by Mrs. Guy Bowen, who is taking active control of the nreparations, is to demonstrate to the public the manifold uses of cot ton products and their equally manifold advantages from the standpoints of price, attractiveness, serviceability and cleanliness to ohe end that consumption of such cot ton products may be expanded and increased. During the week there also will be contests in which prizes will be made for the best cotton dresses made by young girls and for those made by adult women. There also will be a prize awarded for the most attractively decorated store window featuring cotton. Affiliated organizations in the Augusta Federation of Women’s Clubs which are participating in the movement are: The Philomatic Club, Business and Professional Women’s Club, Teachers* Club, Council of Jewish Women, Wo man’s Service League and the Au gusta Woman’s Club. These are being aided by the Augusta Cham ber of Commerce, The Rotary, Ki- wanis, Exchange and Lions Clubs, the Merchants Association, Junior League, Wilhenford Workers, Au gusta Cotton Exchange, Augusta Chronicle, Augusta Herald and the Labor Review. « X in a Series appearing in this newspaper Y OU know the fine crops many farmers around here get year after year with Chil ean Nitrate of Soda. They side dress with Chilean and it pays them well. This year with Chilean selling at the lowest price in years, there’s no sense in thinking you can economize with unproved fertilizers. Use plenty of Chil ean and you’ll get a good profitable crop. KjJs*' CAMPAIGN TO BE WAGED MAY 19 TO 22 TO BOOST USES OF FLEECY STAPLE and mice—that’s RAT-SNAP, the old reliable rodent destroyer.

Department of Agriculture in dicate that on soils that are only slightly sour this crop will thrive if a relatively small quantity of ime is drilled with the seed. The method is to mix 400 to 500 pounds of hydrated lime per acre with he seed and sow the mixture "hrough the fertilizer attachment of a wheat drill. The lime falls close to the seed and is available in the seedling stage when it is need ed. This method is worth trying wherever the lime deficiency is not too great, says the department. Where only the surface is sour, it is possible sometimes to dispense with lime entirely by drilling 200 to 300 pounds of superphosphate per acre with the seed. AUGUSTA, Ga., May 5.—Elabor ate plans for stimulating the sale, wear and use of garments and art icles made of cotton through the medium of a week of intensive demonstration of the possibilities in cotton are being formulated by the Augusta Federation of Wo men’s Clubs, according to an an nouncement by Mrs. Guy Bowen, President. The campaign will start on May 19 and continue through May 22. During that period there will be a parade with floats from Augusta and neighboring cities, in which all the marchers will wear cotton; a dance at which all guests will be dressed in raiment of the same ma terial; a style show illustrating the effects which may be achieved with cotton and various other exhibits and features of educational value in promoting the widest possible consumption of the product of the South’s leading industry. On the opening day of the cam paign exhibits will be revealed to the public showing not only the various processes involved in trans forming the dainty white cotton bolls into a gorgeous evening gown, a ball of twine, a sugar sack, or any of the thousands of other art icles made of cotton, but it will contain as well a complete display of the many different cotton pro ducts manufactured in the Au gusta area. This exhibit will be open to the public throughout the period of the festivities. “Wear More Cotton” is the slo gan of the movement, and all of the women’s clubs, civic organiza tions, trade groups and others in terested within a radius of Augusta are invited to participate, either in assisting to stage the most ela borate demonstration possible, or at least come to Augusta and in spect the displays and take part in the dances, style show and other features as participants or spec- vators. On Tuesday evening, May 19, the Augusta Women’s Club and the Ro tary Club will join forces in hold ing a banquet at the Richmond Hotel, at which every guest must come attired in cotton. Dr. W. H. Frazier, the brilliant President of Queens-Chicora College, Charlotte, N. C , will be the principal speaker on this occasion.

C., recalled that he worked in a mill when he was beneath the age limit and how he and other youngsters were covered over with large railway head cans when an inspector visited the mill. One wonders if inspirations are any more thorough today. There is much talk around among cotton mill operatives of how some mills manage to run considerable more than 105 hours a week, which gives then a big advantage over mills which stick to 55 hours a week for the day shift and 50 for the night. Mr. Black did a little wondering as to what had become of the boy who used to have ambition and worked to get the job of the fel low just ahead of them in the mills scale of employment. He says boys now seem content to wait for the better jobs to come to them, in stead of endeavoring to show by their work that they are fit for them.—Anderson Independent.
