Future of Cotton
W HAT is going to happen to
King Cotton, mainstay of more
farmers than any other crop? And
more farmers' are affected by what
happens to cotton than by what hap
pens to any other crop. Up to one-
third of all farm residents in the
country live on cotton farms and
they’re the lowest income group in
Agriculture.
Not only these cotton farmers, but
every farmer, every resident of the
thousands of home towns from the
East to the West coast and from top
to bottom of the country, is interest
ed in cotton . . . for cotton in peace
time accounts for four-fifths of our
total textile yardage.
According to recent statistics re
leased by Secretary Clinton P. An
derson of the department of agri
culture, the gross average farm in
come of cotton farmers in the 10
years ending in 1942 was only $865
a year, as against more than $2,000
in other parts of the nation.
Why, then, with cotton an all-im
portant crop and selling at prices
well above parity should income of
these cotton farmers, a third of all
farmers, be so much lower than the
average of other farmers? The an
swer is found in the agricultural
practices of the South for the past
hundred years, and includes (1) a
one-crop system of farming, (2) lack
of conservation practices which has
driven the center of the cotton king
dom from the southeastern states
across the Mississippi to the South
west and (3) cotton surpluses which
have in the past demoralized the
market.
Tough Competition
While the department of agricul
ture is not pessimistic over the fu
ture of cotton In the immediate post
war years, it is obvious, they point
out, that great care will be neces
sary for cotton to hold its own in an
increasingly competitive field.
In the first place cotton produc
tion in this country has decreased,
whereas foreign production has in
creased. In 1920 for instance, we
produced 13 million of the 21 mil
lion bales of cotton produced in the
world. In 1940, the last year for
world statistics, we produced only
12 out of 29 million bales, and our
production in 1943 dropped to 11 mil
lion bales. In spite of this drop in
production other competitive com
modities have soared in common
usage replacing cotton. Rayon, ny
lon, spun glass and other newer de
velopments of textiles are boring
into the cotton market. U. S. rayon
production 10 years ago amounted to
only 10 million pounds, whereas last
year rayon had grown to 724 million
pounds or the equivalent oi 1,700,000
bales of cotton. Paper products en
tering the market formerly held by
cotton . . . towels, tissues, napkins,
window shades, plastic and twine,
in 1929 was equivalent on a pound-
for-pound basis of a million bales
of raw cotton.
The Commodity Credit corpora
tion in the department of agricul
ture is the godfather of the cotton
crop and the haven of cotton crop
farmers. It is the Commodity Cred
it corporation which supports the
market price for cotton, by buying up
surpluses, and providing substitutes
for cotton exports. Through August
18, 1945, the CCC had purchased on
its Cotton Purchase Program (sup
port price program) 2,465,087 bales
of cotton of the 1944 crop at an aver
age price of about 22.31 cents a
pound, involving approximately
$250,000,000. In addition it had pro
vided a 4-cent per hundred pound
subsidy for its export program in
volving 592,176 bales of the 1944
crop.
Favorable Outlook
Secretary Anderson in a recent
address before the New York Cot
ton Exchange pointed out, however,
some favorable factors in behalf of
the postwar future of cotton. He
pointed out that during the war thou
sands of cotton farmers had started
soil conservation practices and di
versified farming; there are con
stantly being discovered new uses
for cotton; the department has just
announced discovery of a new cot
ton fabric which will not mildew nor
rot which will be used extensively in
yards, threads, packaging and bag
ging; demand for cotton in other
countries will be at a new peak, al
though world carryover is at an all-
time high; in the U. S., despite a
cancellation of 80 per cent of war
orders for cotton products, slack
will be taken up by the tremendous
backlog of civilian demands.
“American cotton will face not
only large stocks on hand ... it will
face as well the need for better farm
practices if it is to hold its place
in the world market,” Secretary An
derson warned. He said, however,
that he is depending on co-operation
and American “know-how” and an
increased export market to bring
cotton “marching home from war.”
In this connection it will be inter
esting for cotton farmers to note
that i_ie Commodity Credit corpora
tion has been placed under the new
Production and Marketing adminis
tration in the new U. S. D. A. set-up.
EDITOR’S NOTE: This newspaper,
through special arrangement with the
Washington Bureau of Western Newspaper
Union at 1616 Eye Street, N. W., Washing
ton, D. C., is able to bring readers this
weekly column on problems of the veteran
and serviceman and his family. Questions
may be addressed to the above Bureau
and they will be answered in a subsequent
column. No replies can be made direct
by mail, but only in the column which
will appear in this newspaper regularly.
Veter ana Bill of Right m
It is virtually certain that this
session of the congress will liberalize
many provisions of the G.I. Bill of
Rights, particularly since President
Truman and the Veterans adminis
tration have now given added im
petus to needed clarification and lib
eralization.
In his message to the congress,
the President urged that prompt
consideration be given for more lib
eral hospitalization and veterans
care, more vocational training un
der the vocational rehabilitation act
and to education and training under
the serviceman’s readjustment act
(G.I. bill). The President further
urged more specific language for re
employment of veterans under the
selective service act, so there can be
no doubt about the right of a vet
eran to get back his old job should
he desire it.
The Veterans administration itself
will take the lead and spearhead the
fight for these clarifying and lib
eralizing amendments and the ad
ministration will have the backing
of such organizations as the Amer
ican Bar association, the American
Institute of Banking, the American
Legion and the Veterans of Foreign
Wars.
At this time 22,349 veterans, out
of more than two million demobilized
thus far, are taking advantage of the
education features of the bill of
rights. Some of the proposed
amendments would inchide “ade
quate subsistence and travel allow
ances for veterans taking intenaiva
refresher courses away from home;
permit inscruction by correspond
ence, particularly from approved ed
ucational institutions which have not
hitherto conducted correspondence
courses.”
Questions and Answers
Q.—My husband was given an
honorable medical discharge
March 9, 1943. At that time they
did not receive a discharge but
ton. Where can he obtain one?
Mrs. R. R., Marshalltown, Iowa.
A.—At any army separation cen
ter, probably at your local draft
board, or one may be purchased at
almost any army store.
Q.—Has an army officer the
right to cut off the allotment to
his wife and child without any
reason? Has he no obligation
to meet concerning his family?
Wife, Stilacoom, Wash.
A.—Yes, he has the right to dis
continue his allotment. He has the
same obligations concerning his
family as any other honorable hus
band.
Q.—I am making an applica
tion for a one-ton truck. I have
a farm of 200 acres and need a
truck very much. I am an hon
orably discharged soldier, with
two years service. I would like
to get a government - owned
truck if possible. J. F., Sche
nectady, N. Y.
A.—If you are referring to a sur
plus war property truck, would sug
gest that you contact your local
AAA county committee or your
county agent for information where
these surplus trucks are available
from a bona fide dealer in your com
munity. You are entitled to an A-l
priority without red tape if there
ure surplus war trucks for sale at
any of your local dealers.
Q.—I want to know if a man
first has been in the navy 16
inenths, is 26 years old and has
a wife and two children, will get
a discharge soon? Wife, Vida,
Okla.
A.—Not necessarily. The navy
man will be subject to the discharge
system of rating adopted by the
ravy.
Q.—I am a World War 1 vet
eran and have a job. Will I
have to give up my job for a
veteran of World War H? Does
a veteran of World War I have
as much right as a World War
II veteran? W. L., Mora, Minn.
A.—If you are holding a job now
which was given up by a veteran of
this war, then the honorably dis
charged veteran of World War H
has a right to that job back under
the provisions of the selective serv
ice act. A veteran of World War I
has all the rights of a citizen of the
U. S. A. and as much right as a vet
eran of this war except for the ex
press benefits enacted for veterans
of World Warll.
Q.—A serviceman owed his
father some money before he en
tered the service. Then the fa
ther became suddenly ill and
was unable to work. The serv
iceman then provided the father
a family allowance from the gov
ernment. Should the serviceman
get credit on what he owed his
father for the amount the gov
ernment sent? Reader, Hayden,
Colo.
A.—That question obviously is a
matter for private settlement be
tween the serviceman and his fa.
ther.

Colorful Fruit Desserts
We may like meat and vegetables
prepared the same way day after
day, but there’s
at least one type
of food in which
we like plenty of
variety. Yes, des
serts, of course!
Now that the war is over and we
can go back to many of our fa
vorite foods, with rationing permit
ting, we’ll still have to hold off on
desserts that still take it easy on the
sugar canister.
My advice to you, in this matter
of desserts, is to concentrate on
fruits, both fresh and canned. They
contain sweetening and will not re
quire too much extra sugar. Then,
too, there are lots of time-saving
tricks you can apply to dessert mak
ings, like chilling them or using
biscuit mixtures.
Select several of these desserts
and do try them on your family.
Serve them and be proud:
Peach Crunch Cake.
(Makes 1 cake, 7 by 11 inches)
!4 cup shortening
14 cup light corn syrup
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sifted flour
l l A teaspoons baking powder
14 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon orange juice
114 cups sliced peaches
Sugar Glaze:
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 teaspoon grated orange rind
14 teaspoon salt
Cream together shortening and
syrup. Add egg and mix well. Sift
together flour, baking powder and
salt. Add flour
mixture to cream
ed mixture alter
nately with orange
juice. Spread in
paper - lined pan.
Lay sliced peach
es in diagonal
rows over batter, letting slices over
lap slightly. Drizzle sugar glaze over
peaches. Bake in a moderate oven
(350-degree) about 55 minutes.
Note: Mix ingredients for sugar
glaze in order given.
Peach Puff Pudding.
(Serves 4)
114 cups milk
114 cups bread cubes
114 tablespoons melted butter or sub
stitute
1 egg beaten
14 cup honey
14 teaspoon salt
114 teaspoons grated orange rind
1 cup diced peaches
Scald milk and pour over bread
cubes. Let stand for 10 minutes. Add
melted butter or substitute, egg,
honey, salt and peaches. Pour into
individual greased casseroles. Bake
in a moderate oven (350-degree)
about 45 minutes. Serve with milk
or coffee cream.
Lynn Says
Economy Tips: Ask for the
trimmings and bones when you
buy your meat. The fat can be
rendered and used as shortening.
The bones do well when sim
mered with vegetables to be used
as soup.
Save leftover gravy and use it
as stock for soup. You’ll be de
lighted with the rich flavor.
Mustard mixed with butter
makes a nice spread for sand
wiches. It’s especially good with
meat and cheese “wiches.”
Leftover cereals can be mold
ed and served as dessert with
fruit or custard sauce. Or, they
can be combined with ground
meat for loaves or meat balls.
Keep leftover “dabs” of butter
in a covered container in the re
frigerator and use for seasoning
vegetables or sauces.
Leftover meat and vegetables
are good when creamed and
served with waffles, toast, rusk
or toasted noodles.

If you’re looking for something dif
ferent and colorful in fruit desserts,
you’ll find this lime-pear pie just
the thing. It uses a cookie crumb
crust, which is fat-saving, lime gela
tin and bottled gingerale. Only five
pear halves are needed:
Lime-Pear Pie.

ODDS AND ENDS—Dennis Morgan, of
"Christmas in Connecticut" was once a

Wis.—says he invented a banana split that
made him famous locally . . . Alan "Fair

Preparation of a great nation
takes time. God wanted Israel to
have opportunity to develop from a
family to a nation so He arranged
for them to have a place of refuge
and of abundant provision while
they grew. He had already made
ready for them by sending Joseph
into Egypt, and now the whole fami
ly of Jacob moved down.
Jacob’s fi ars had been overcome
by the vision of God (Gen. 46:1-4),
in which he was assured that this
was the outworking of God’s pur
pose to make of him a “great na
tion.” The promises to him' and
his forefathers were now in proc
ess of fulfillment. The man who be
lieves God is privileged to see Him
work. We find the family of Jacob
I. In Egypt, but Separated (w.
1-6).
As he presented the representa
tives of his brethren to Pharaoh,
Joseph made known that he had set
tled them in the land of Goshen, a
favored spot well suited to their life
as shepherds.
It is worthy of observation that
while they were now in Egypt there
was no thought of mingling with the
Egyptians. They were to be a sepa
rated people living in a strange
land. Only thus could the purity of
the nation be maintained and a peo
ple suited for God’s service be kept
and made ready.
The application to the life of the
Christian lies right at hand. In
Scripture Egypt is a type of the
world, where fleshly appetites are
satisfied and where strange gods
are worshiped. The Christian is to
“come out from among them” and
to be separate (II Cor. 6:14-7.8).
The tendency in our time is to
minimize the importance of separa
tion from worldliness and to regard
those who preach and practice it as
being narrow and old-fashioned. Say
what you will, it is a fact that
worldliness has robbed the Church
of its spiritual power and of its real
testimony for Christ.
As a matter of fact, the Christian
is not narrow. He is as broad as
the counsels of God, and the
worldling who boasts of his broad
mindedness has often mistaken su
perficial flatness for real broad
ness.
II. Blessed, but Blessing (w.
7:10).
Jacob and his family received
many mercies at the hands of
Pharaoh and his people, but they
were not in the land just to be
blessed but also to bring a blessing.
The patriarch Jacob was brought
by Joseph into the presence of
Pharaoh. That noble son was not
ashamed to bring his aged Hebrew
father into the presence of the king.
There he gave witness concerning
his life. But he did something else—
he blessed Pharaoh.
That scene speaks volumes to us
as Christians. We are not of the
world but we are in the world (John
17:15-17). We are to be a separated
people for the glory of God, but that
does not mean that we are not to
bring blessing to those round about
us. We are in the world not just
to enjoy ourselves, but to make
Christ known to others—to touch
lives that are needy and saddened
and sin-sick.
It is also of interest that the bless
ing of Jacob was given to the man
on the throne. We are apt to think
of the poor and the underprivileged
as needing the gospel and forget
that the rich man in the house on
the hill may be the most spiritually
hungry in town.
III. Preserved, but Preparing (vv.
11, 12).
God sent His chosen people down
into Egypt that they might not per
ish in the famine. He wanted them
kept and nourished while they grew
into the great people which He ulti
mately led out toward the Prom
ised Land.
That was important, for had they
not been preserved the promise of
God could not have been fulfilled.
But all the time they were being
prepared for the great day of de
liverance and blessing which was to
come.
Applying the truth once again to
the Christian believer, it is not
enough just to be safe in Christ.
That is precious but it is not enough;
there must be growth in grace.
Some Christians are saved and
kept all right, but it is just a mat
ter of being “preserved” and put on
a shelf. They are of no earthly use
unless it is to be exhibited, and that
kind of a Christian is not really
worth showing off.
Then, too, some of the saints are
preserved but not in sweetness.
They are evidently preserved by
pickling, sour, unpleasant people
sometimes called “vinegar saints.”
God deliver us from that kind of
preservation! May we be kept in
such a way that we are ready to
witness for God!
