Interesting Facts t? \lnnit King Cotton r ^ Discussing the cotton situation on the eve of the referendum, United States Department of Agriculture authorities said in a recent release: " FtfimtTs are m a 1twtter position than at any time during the World War to deal with a farm emergen cy. They have had several years of experience in working together and in adjusting agriculture to emergen cy situations "The present cotton situation: The world supply of American cotton, due mainly to overproduction in 1937, is about 26 million bales, as much as we ordinarily consume and export in 2 years Our crop of about 12 million bales this year is consid ered fairly small, but our carry-over of 14 million bales is the largest on record. During the past year we con TOmpd about as much cotton as us ual, but our exports were only 3 3 million bales, the lowest in 60 years. This year's supply of all cotton is 50 million bales, only about 1-2 million bales less than the world's record supply Cotton?now compared with 1914 The world supply of American cot ton is more than b million bales larger thaa at the beginning of the World War, but consumption is not likely to be as large as it was in 1914-15 Before the World War we supplied 65 net cent of all the cdt ton consumed in the world Now we furnish 42 per cent. Cotton consump tion in this country during the war increased about 1 1-4 million bales per year, but our exports fell from about 9 1-4 to about 4 14 million bales per year War and a large crop caused cotton to drop from 12 1-2 cents in July, 1914. to 6 12 cents in November thad?year Two years passed before it reached 1? 1.? rents again. "Every effort is being made to ex pand thr American and foreign mar kets for our cotton, but supplies are now far in excess of demand. This means that the markets we have ?ahould-be-shared equitably bv all cotton producers. Marketing quotas offer assistance in doing this. ?"Marketing qumas can hi1 used only when supplius are excessive. The farm program, of which quotas are a part, provides assistance tow ard helping cotton farmers to: "Get a fairer share of the nation's income. "Produce the food and feed need ed for home use. "Maintain and improve the pro ductivity of their soil. "Provide consumers with ample supplies of food, feed and fiber at fair prices. "Expand domestic and foreign consumption of cotton." sinus nf one, short rmirsr, , farmer or farm woman?over?16 years of age is eligible to attend A limited number of beds will be made available in the college Y M C A at fifty cents a night, and rea sonably-priced meals may be se cured in the college cafeteria.

Once we were on the train, Mr. Demeir, our capable guide, began a search for a vacant seat and soon our cum pai til lent was guarding FfisT trcas ures while he walked through the coaches checking on the members of his party He had thrown a box of tempting Swiss chocolate upon the baggage raek over our heads and said, "Stay there," with a smile on his face. We appreciated the comfort of knowing there was something edible nearby, after a few hours on the train. One of the members m our group sug gested the chocolate for refreshment. She was very sure it was for us. We helped her eat up half the box. It was most embarrassing when Mr. Demeir returned to gather up his belongings and found we had been eating the chocolate he was taking home to his children My roommate,' Miss Cox. and I insisted on making humble apologies, until we could do better It was dark coming ii'ilu the city and many lighus iold Tis^nTthc-rnTc of Paris.

We learned that it took six weeks to remove the glass We passed a Roman palace, in rums now. though built in 311" and the foundation structure told us of flic fine skill of the early Romans as builders of strong buildings The guide told us thai the city of Paris was begun 211(10 years ago on an island The islanders were call ed palacians and the city was first called Isle I)e I.a Cite There is no north, south, cast or west The city IS divided by the Seme Rivet.? After our dinner at the hotel we took an afternoon tour of the city. This tour look us to the Madeline Church, built like a Roman temple. The church was intended by Na poleon to be a Temple of Glory.

Plant Disease \\ ork Effective In \\ inter Contrary to popular opinion, largo amount of highly effective work can be done during the winter months to control plant diseases, says l)r. Luther Shaw, extension plant pathologist * of State College. This is particularly true of fruit trees which arc normally pruned during the winter period, he stated: ?The wmtci cany-uu'i of~~niaily diseases of apples, including scab, bitter rot, blotch, and fire blight can be greatly reduced by systematic pruning of the trees, using the lat est improved methods and taking special precautions to prune out as much dead wood as possible. Dr. Dhuw lontiiiufd. An apple tri e pruned so as to per 11)11 miO(t light and v> million is rendered less vulnerable to attack by disease-producing organisms, and can be more thoroughly sprayed and consequently bettor protected from the organisms than a tree with thick growth. Destruction -of diseas ed haves and fruit On the- ground by discing, plowing, or other means, is also highly desirable. The plant pathologist pointed out i m 1'aris had ended We went to bed wondering what else we could plan Another letter will tell you about pgr :tilv/?.npirg??_ Sincerely. Lora K. Sleeper.
