One Out Of Five Depend On Cotton One out of every five people in North Carolina is .emlployed in the production and manufacture of cotton, says H. W. Taylor, mar keting specialist of the N. C. State College Extension Service. That’s why this State should ■place 'a Special significance on National Cotton Week when it is observed the country over May 16-24, he continued. In 1940 Tar Heel growers produced 740,000 bales valued at $35,150,000 and 329.000 tons of cottonseed valued at $7,370,000. According to the 1940 censuf. cotton was grown on 103,248 oi the 278,276 farms In the State. With an-aTftMgftJit.5.C J^opla op ev6ry fErm, this would moan ftiat 600.000 are engaged either di rectly or indirectly in the pro duction of cotton. To that may be added the 175,- 000 textile employees engaged in the manufacture of cotton. The two groups together mean that about one-fifth of the State s population is dependent in some way on the outcome of each cot ton crO'P. The State College Specialist pointed out that many organiza tions have been enlisted in pro moting Cotton Week. Among these are the National Cotton Council and the Southeastern Chain Store Council. T. B. Dp- church, Jr., of Raeford, chairman of the North Carolina-Virginia unit of the Cotton Council, has enlisted the support of all farm and home agents and Chambers of Commerce. P. D. May of LaGrange. State representative of of the Chain Store Council, says that dry goods and variety stores, as well as some food chains, are planning to feature cotton goods in their sales and advertsing campaigns during the week of May 16-24. The arrival of warm weather means putting away those blank ets which will not be needed a- gain,. ..until next fall, says Miss Pauline Gordon, extension borne management and house furnish ing epigdaBst of,Nl C.

Total revocations since passage of the Uniform Driver’s License Act In 1936 now number 36,524. ■"'Drunken driving, of course, was the chief basis for the revo cations, 3,115 of the 3,866 license ^avocations this year being based oh drunken driving convictions In North Carolina courts, and 243 otb^ on this charge In com bination with other violations. Another 233 Tar Heel drivers lost their driving privilege because of convictions for "driving under the influence’’ in other states. -’ Guilford county led the state in revocations the first half of this year, with 227, followed by Mecklenburg with 183, Forsyth with 162, Cumberland with 131, Rowan with 117, Cabarrus with 110, Robeson with 107 and New Hanover with 99. Only one small county—Camden — reported no license revocations the fl'-st six months of this year.

DEPENDABLE POWER Modem Mill Serrice Entire Satisfaction • • BRIER CREEK BURR AND ROLLER MILLS On U. S. Highway 421 bres are soft, crimpy, and scaly. When a wool blanket is placed iu warm soapy water, the fibers, be- come softened or .plastic. If the i blanket is subjected to hard rub bing or wringing, the fibers tend not only to creep up on each other, but to stick together. Because of the danger of this shrinkage and matting of the wool when R is washed, every homemaker should understand the rules of washing blankets properly. Since wool cannot etand too much cold or too much heat, only lukewarm water should be used for washing and rinsing. The temperature of the water should never be above 90 degrees F. The second thing to remember. Miss Gordon said, is to use soft water and mild neutral soap, nev er a strong laundry soap. Two tablespoonsfui of borax to each tub of water should be added If the water needs softening. If a sediment forms, the water should be strained. Water suoaid be squeezed, not twisted, out of a blanket. If a wringer is used, the blanket should he folded flat and the tension on the rolls released to avoid crushing , the nap.

The Maryland Yellow-throat is the bird that can tell you, because he wears a permanent .black mask over his eyes, the only small yel lowish bird to do so. The female has the same yellow throat and dull olive back, but it lacks the black on the face. The Yellorw-throats are with us just during the summer, winter ing in the gulf state® and central America. The April arrival is im mediately announced with ringing song. "I-beseech-you, whatchar see, whatcha-see.” *016 habitat is equally distihe- tive, for these tiny warblers are found only in low thickets and tangles near water. Given these simple requirements, they are easily attracted to the garden. And no quest Is more pleasant to have around, more easily watch-^ ed as it hops about near the ground with restless, wren-like energy. Do you have a wet spot in the garden, where the, alder grows? Then look here for the Yellow-throat’s treasure casket, a deep, graiur aest on or near too ground, with four or five creafllFj white, lightly speckled eggs. Is there a larger, a darker' egg a- mong them? If so, throw it away, because It was placed there by the Interloping Cowblrd. who builds no nest of her own. If the Cowiblrd hatches out, the Yellow- throats will wear themselves out feeding the vociferous yonniPtet while their own babies starve.’^ jCContrlbution, North GADD'Y’S July Specials Unusually low prices on our big stock of USED CARS and TRUCKS.
