Boll Weevil Defense
“Farmers of Newberry county who
intend to use the 1-1-1 mixture this
| year for controlling the boll weevil
should hnnveidiately locate and ar
range for a source of supply of mol
asses and calcium arsenate,” says
County Agent P. B. Ezell.
Where stands have already been
secured, farmers are now becoming in
terested in the weevil fight for the
season and are now ordering supplies
of calcium arsenate and molasses in
gredients of the 1-1-1 mixture.
Previous experience has shown that
the farmer can not wait until he needs
the materials as they are not gener
ally available on short notice, espe
cially the molasses. If the farmer
is to be assured of a supply of molas
ses he should now place his order.
Three gallons of molasses and three
pounds of calcium arsenate are usu
ally considered adequate for the 1-1-1
mixture for an acre. In the last sev
eral years farmers have not been
waiting for reports of weevil abun
dance before they lay in their sup
plies of material.
More complete information on use
of the 1-1-1 mixture and indirect aids
in weevil control may be found in Ex.

ton Production Under Boll Weevil

Ripeness Important In
"Combining" Grain
Farmers who are planning to use
combines for harvesting their small
gram crops may profit by a word of
caution again this year, says County
Agent P. B. Ezell, pointing out the
importance of letting the grain rip
en thoroughly before starting the
comb in e.
During the past few years there
have been some criticisms of the com
bine method on account of the grain
spoiling after harvest. This difficulty
however, was probably due in most
cases to harvesting of the grain be
fore it was dead ripe, the county
agent explains.
In hai"vesting most cereal grain the
combine should not be started until
10 days to two weeks after it is cus
tomary to begin harvesting with a
bindler. If the threshed grain feels
damp or is easily dented with the
fingernail, the moisture content is too
high for safe storage.
If there is any doubt as to the safe
keeping qualities of the grain after
being harvested with a combine, it
should be spread out on the floor of
some shed or other building and stir
red frequently for several days.
Another method that has been rec
ommended is to sack the grain in
sacks that are not more than two-
thirds full and stack the sacks in.
rows so that air can circulate freely
on at least two sides. It is also ad
visable to move the sacks once or
twice a day to insure better ventila
tion.
LABOR ASKS THAT DEDUCTIONS
AT MILL STORE BE OUTLAWED
Washington, May 16.—Labor repre
sentatives demanded tonight the out
lawing of wage deductions in the tex
tile industry, while manufacturers
challenged the power of the wage-
hour administration to prevent such
deductions for rent and various ser
vices.
The controversy prolonged’ a hear
ing on a proposed 37 1-2-cent an hour
minimum for 650,000 textile workers
after 'manufacturers and labor both
had agreed on the minimum and the
need for haste in putting it into ef
fect.
Solomon Barkin, representing the
CIO’s Textile Workers Union of
America, declared employers wouid
use wage deductions to offset the re
commended- minimum.
But Cladius T. Murchison, presi
dent of the Cotton Textile institute,
and Southern Manufacturers protest,
ed vigorously against adoption of any
regulations concerning deductions,
contending they were desired by the
workers to meet rent, grocery costs,
hospital and other necessary expendo
tures.
Murchison contended the wage-hour
administration did not have authori
ty under the law to establish regula
tions to disrupt the widespread prac
tice of wage deductions.
Barkin, however, told Trial Exami.
ner Thomas W. Hallond many South
Carolina and Georgia mills used wage
deductions extensively and that unless
the practice was regulated it would
be used to thwart the objective of the
37 1-2 cent minimum.
A textile wlorker and a union or
ganizer from Gaffney, S. C., told how
workers went for weeks at a time
getting Checks drawn for “zero dol
lars and zero cents.”

It contains proteins needed for
“body building”,; carbohydrates and

building and keeping good bones and

2. One-fifth or more of the family
food supply should come from milk
and its products.
AW dieticians agree that 20 to 25
percent of the value of the family
food supply should he made up of
milk and its products. Because milk
is a liquid many people consider it a
beverage; merely something to drink,
rather than a real lood. By weight,
milk contains 13 per cent of solid mat
ter, which is more than found in most
vegetables such as spinach, beets, car
rots, squash, turnips, cabbage, radish

Movie Designer Praises New Cottons
Cotton Best Fabric For New Ameri-
ci\*i Fashions Edith Head
Declares
Hollywood, Gailff. — Cottons are
beaded for the biggest season on re
cord, Hollywood’s leading designers
told the National Cotton Council to
day. Edith Head of Paramount, Tra
vis Banton of Twentieth Century-Fox
and Adrian and Robert Kalloch of
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer were unani
mous in their praise of new cotton de.
signs for summer.
“I believe the women of America,
as a whole, will be more interested
in cottons this year than ever be
fore,” Miss Head said. “World con
ditions in general may be respon
sible for this. Practical, functional
styles will be the rule and cotton
is the best answer for this type of
clothing”
Plans Cotton Styles
“The California climate lends it
self very naturally to the best in cot
ton fabrics,” she declared. “With
the wide assortments of colors and
weaves presented this year I am
planning some exciting styles for
Paramount players to wear on the
screen.
“Cotton is by far the most prac
tical fabric for play clothes and
sports clothes because it can be
tubbed and after each washing emer
ges fresh and crisp. The profuse use
of lingerie trimming is an accepted
fact for the spring and summer. In
keeping with the times I think this
will be cotton’s greatest year.”
Chief Designer Adrian of Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer told the" Council thqt
although “we are interested in Ameri
can cottons every year, this year,
with America in a spot of fashion im
portance, we are more insterested
than ever.”
Trend Toward Cottons
“With the world upside down, and
the trend toward economy on. every
side, cotton should come into its own
during 1941 as it never has before”,
deefcured Robert Kalloch of M-G-M.
“The cottons this seasons,” Mr. Kal
loch said, “offer limitless possibili
ties for the designer. As effective an
evening gown may be fashioned from
stiff cotton as from the most costly
taffeta.
“While most designers have gone
in for complete cotton ensembles the
value of this fabric as a trim is yet
to be realized. Take for example a
summer bride or bridesmaids, their
gowns of tulle with bias band's of
wihite pique as trimming,
Completely Practical
“The values of cotton are num
erous,” he concluded, “but most im-
portartt is its complete practicality.
It can always be fresh, it can always
be smart, and it provides a most val
uable asset in its inexpensive chic.”
Travis Banton of Twentieth Cen
tury-Fox said that “with the eyes of
the world often turning to the Holly
wood scene for inspiration, particul
arly under the present chaotic condi
tions, we designers here feel the need
of every native resource. I know that
I personally find every year more in
terest in the materials created from
one of our great American products
—cotton.”
Roosevelt Cautious
On 'Parity 7 Loans
Congress to Override If He Vetoes
Playi
Washington, May 16.—A warning
from President Roosevelt that he
must consider carefully before ap
proving higher price-pegging loans on
crops failed to discourage Congress
members from the farm states today.
Without exception senators who
won a 75 to 2 vote in favor of gov
ernment loans at 85 per cent of par
ity, expressed confidence that the
president would eventually sign the
legislation.
Four to One in Favor
Even if he should decide to veto
it, senators said privately that they
had enough votes to override the ve
to. The house passed the loan meas
ure by a four-to-one margin of 275
to 63.
President Roosevelt gave his press
conference a discussion of parity
prices, loans and government pay
ments after reporters asked where
be might cut $1,000,000,000 in non
defense government spending.
The chief executive noted that a
parity price was one set up years
ago as a goal to give farm products
the same relative purchasing power
they had- in the pre war period of
1909-13. He indicated that this ad
ministration hadl come nearer this
goal than others and added that
benefit payments under the present
farm program must be a prime con
sideration in considering the man
datory loans alt 85 per cent of parity
approved by Congress.
Cites Present Prices
Taking cotton as an example, the
president said present benefit pay
ments amounted to about 3 3-4 cents
a pound and when added to a mar
ket price of more than 10 cents as
sured cotton growers of a return of
13 cents, better than any year since
1924, and near the parity level-of 15
to 15 1-2 cents.
In weighing mandatory loans at 85
per cent of parity, the president said
one must consider whether present
benefit payments might push returns
to the farmer above the parity level.
Senator Bankhead (D.-Ala.), spon
sor of the 85 per cent loans, said he
was “quite confident that the presi
dent when fully informed and in poss
ession of all facts, will without hesi
tation approve the loans.”
Not To Exceed Parity
“I don’t think his statement in
dicates any Other line of thought,”
Bankhead added. “He wants to make
certain that the loans plus benefit
payments will not exceed parity
prices.”
Senator McNary (R.-Ore.), minor
ity leader who supported the loan
measure, said that even with the pro
posed 85 per cent loans “plus all
benefits, the farmer will be way be
low parity income on these products.”
HUGE TAX BILL PAID ON CARS,
TRUCKS AND FUELS
Federal and state excise aiv sales
taxes on motor vehicles and parts,
tilres and inner tubes, and motor
fuels and lubricants have yielded tax
revenues of $13,143,000,000 since 1930
or an average of one and a quarter
billions of dollars per year, according
to the Bureau of the Census.
Federal manufacturers excise taxes
for the last eight years, 1933-1940,
inclusive, on motor vehicles, parts and
accessories, tires and tubes, gasoline
and lubricants have totaled $2,422,-
000,000, an average of $302,600,000
per year.
State collections of motor vehicle
fuel taxes during the last 11 years,
1930-1940 inclusive, have totaled $6,-
964,400,000, while receipts for motor
vehicle licenses and drivers licenses
during the same period totaled $3,-
756,600,000. The combined total for
these two categories of state taxes
was $10,721,000,000, an average of
$974,633,000 a year.
