COTTON WEEK WILL SET NEW
RECORDS, SPONSORS DECLARE
Key Cities of Cotton Beit Complete
Plans For Big Sales Program
Memphis, Tenn.—Reports from all
sections of the Cotton Belt indicate
that the observance of National Cot
ton Week, May 16-24, will break all
previous records, the National Cot
ton Council and Cotton-Textile Insti
tute announced today after an initial
survey of work being done by cotton
promotion groups in the cotton-pro
ducing states.
The survey showed that in such
cities as New Orleans, Memphis,
Birmingham, Nashville, Charlotte,
Houston, Dallas, Raleigh, Jackson,
Los Angeles, Pheonix, and other key
points definite plans have already
been completed for citywide observ
ances.
Cotton Week programs are not be
ing planned in the larger cities alone,
however. Through hundreds of
chambers of commerce, retail mer
chants associations, civic clubs, home
demonstration and county agents in
smaller cities and towns, Cotton
Week programs will be carrier! out
on a Beltwide basis.
Outstanding Cooperation
Among the outstanding examples
of cooperation with the campaign,
the survey disclosed the distribution
of large quantities of Cotton Week
posters to retail stores by two
large Southern firms, action of one
of the nation’s largest railroads in
having posters placed on bulletin
boards in each of its stations, use of
the Cotton Week motion picture trail
er by several chain theater groups,
use of Cotton Week advertising
cards in all street cars and busses in
two of the largest cities in the South.
Advance estimates show that par
ticipation in the Cotton Week pro
gram by newspapers of the Belt is
already approximately 30 per cent
in excess of last year. Cooperation
of radio stations, theaters, and out
door advertising firms is also running
considerably ahead of 1940.
Retailers Enthusiastic
The Cotton Council said that
“never before have retail merchants
shown so much enthusiasm over Cot
ton Week plans.” Independent retail,
ers in every community as well as
chain store groups, are said to be
planning extensive merchandising
programs built around the Cotton
Week theme.
In many communities retail gro
cers are participating in the Cotton
Week program by featuring cotton
seed food products and staple groc
eries packaged in cotton containers.
A number of these stores will carry
special Cotton Week displays in their
MAY LIVESTOCK NOTES
For busy farmers County Agent
P. B. Ezell gives these timely sug
gestions on the proper care of rive-
stock for May.
Dairying
Plan for three tons of silage per
cow. Plant Biloxi soybeans in row
with corn. Where cane is used, plant
alternate rows of ctne and Biloxi
soybeans. Plan for one-half to one
ton of good legume hay per cow
with silage. If silage will not be av
ailable, plan for two to three tons
of bright, green-cured leafy legume
hay. Plant enough extra corn to
supply eight bushels of com per cow
this winter. Sow one-half acre of
pearl millet for each cow for soil
ing or grazing purposes in July and
August. Do not graze permanent pas
tures too closely. Clean out the bams
and premises to save manure and des
troy breeding places for flies.
Breed sows for fall litters. Have
all weanling pigs double-treated for
hog cholera See that the spring pigs
are on territory not infested with
internal parasites. Feed lambs in
a creep. Use oats rather than com
for the workstock. Treat navals of
newborn animals with pine tar to pre
vent screw worm infestation.
Poultry
Clean and disinfect the brooder
house each week. Cull all weak, slow-
growing pullets and sell as broilers.
Cull the non-laying hens and sell. Do
not keep boarding hens. Remove
males from laying flock when incu
bation season is over. Produce in
fertile eggs. Provide shade for
growing pullets.

“The prompt and willing coopera

Belt indicates that the people are

MORE FEED MEANS MORE EGGS
TO INCREASE DEFENSE FOODS
Plenty of feed for farm poultry
flocks means more eggs, and more
eggs help assure ample food supplies
for this country, Great Britain and
other countries resisting aggression.
County Agent P. B. Ezell said today.
Keeping the mash hoppers full, he
said, is one way farm men and farm
women can help in national defense.
Prices are good, and the Depart
ment of Agriculture will support the
market at an average of about 22
cents, Chicago basis, for the next two
years, he pointed out. Feed supplies
are abundant. Commercial poultry-
men already are feeding their Hooks
to get the most possible eggs, so that
extra eggs must come from special
feeding of farm hens.
“Feed plenty of mash, either home-
mixed or commercial, and all the
grain the hens will clean up at
uight,” he said. “Keep fresh, clean
water where the hens can get it easily
at all times. Wet mash is an excel
lent a ypetizer. It should be fed in a
crumbly state, and once started, must
be kept up. Extra eggs will pay for
the additional work.”
Eggs are an ideal means of turn
ing Ever-Normal Granary reserves of
com and 1 wheat into defense foods,
he pointed out. Production can be
maintained by better feeding. Powd
ered or dried eggs keep well and take
little storage or shipping space in
proportion to their food value A case
of 30 dozen eggs dries down to about
10 pounds.
“Give the hens all they’ll eat this
spring” Mr. Ezell said. “Don’t make
them rustle for their food. Feeding
for more eggs is a real opportunity
for farm men and women to aid de
fense and add to their incomes.”

Iron Mountain, Mich.—
When Henry Ford oegan lumber
ing in northern Michigan he made
> is “foot rule,” thus leaving more
space for younger trees to grow
and provide the future supply.
On the half-million acres of
timber which he has been scien
tifically cutting he has practically
eliminated waste.
His theory in lumbering, as in
his other activities, is that waste
makes high prices and low wages;
that reducing waste makes lower
costs, lower prices and higher
wages.
So first of all his lumbermen
coi close to the ground and clear
up the brush that-makes forest
fires.
In addition to saw mills and
the body-building plant for sta
tion wagons, he has built a wood
distillation plant that converts
cuttings, edgings, slabs, sawdust,
shavings and chips back into
charcoal.
Also into such products as tar,
pitch, creosote, methyl alcohol,
calcium acetate and fuel gas-—
all of which are used in Ford
industries. v
The results of this elimination
of waste in lumbering are high
wages and r.eaf, up-to-date homes
for workers.
The third hog shipment will be held
at Helena Shipping Pens Thursday
morning, May 8th from 7:00 to 10:30
a. m. according to J. L. King, Asst.
County agent.
Two hundred hogs have been sold
by Newberry county farmers this
year bringing the farmers a total of
$3,058.93.
Well furnished hogs weighing from
180 to 225 always bring top prices.
