The*" National Cotton Council re ports that since 1940 the fiber length of the American crop as a whole has increased 6 per cent. In some areas the increase has been even greater as & result of new and better adaptation M(f specific varieties. Fiber strength has increased 6.7 per cent since 1940 for the crop as a whole, more for crops in certain areas. Current research indicates new -hybrids under development may bring 'further substantial increases in fiber Stength. Tarn Strength Up Yarn strength has shown an aver age increase along with the improve ment in length ami Strength and uni formity of the fiber. The uniformity of American Cotton has been increased greatly by reduc ing the number of varieties and plant ing more pure seed. Twenty-five years ago more than 500 varieties were planted. Today 110 varieties ac count for 89 per cent of the crop with nearly three-fourths of the crop plant ed to four of these varieties. More than half of the current crop now is produced from breeder, foundation, or ' certified seed. The use of such seed has increased about 20 times in the past decade.

V i Time is running out for planting Strawberries in the eastern part of the state —(the beet months are De cember through March. For the west ern part of the State the months of (March and April are best I When hot weather arrives it is dif ficult to get a good stand and it is difficult to find enough good plants. Plants set at thk tim e of the year will produce a lot of new runner plants which will produce a crop of berries next spring. Plants should be set about two feet apart in rows 3% feet apart or may be set even closer in small gardens. In setting the plants, spread the roots and be careful to plant deep enough so the roots are covered with soil but not so deep that the main bud of the plant is covered. The Massey and Albritton varieties are recommended for general planting in North Carolina. Everbearing straw berries arc recommended only for the mountain area.

Otherwise they will bear a fairly good early crop and a very light late crop. If you have an established strawber ry bed, mulch it now with pine straw or other short straw.

Do not fertilize an established strawberry bed any more until after the spring fruiting season. It will cause heavy vegetative plant growth and too much shading of the her* ries.

Credit is usually extended in three ways; the charge account, installment buying, and the borrowing of money. Credit will be extended to any per son who has the reputation of paying his debts, and whose earnings are sufficient to enable him to ipeet his financial obligations. Wise use of credit may mean the difference be tween success and failure, cautions Miss Whisnant. A charge account i s established at various stores where the family buys merchandise. It’s easy to overuse an account because needs are always many, and no automatic check to the size of a charge account has yet been devised. It is much simpler to say “charge it, please” than to make out a personal check for the amount or to pay cash from your pocketbook at the time of purchase. For people who must economize, says Miss Whisnant, a charge ac count may b e unwise. It has its ad vantages anld disadvantages. 1* ft is easier to return unsatisfac tory goods, since no change of money takes place. This privilege is much abused. 2- Establishes credit, which is help ful in applying for credit elsewhere. 3. Allows for payment of bills at once and entitles customer of advance notice of new goods, sales, etc. 4. Monthly statement from the store gives itemized list of purchases.

The store is usually more prompt in repairing or “making right” a pur chase made on a charge account than when cash is paid. 'Disadvantages: 1. The ability to charge goods may encourage over-spending. 2. Goods usually cost more at stores where charge accounts are allowed or encouraged because of the bookkeep ing involved. No collectable charge accounts increase the cost of this ser vice to customers who pay their bills. Mere parsimony is not economy. —Edmund Burke.
