NATIONAL
COTTON
MAY 17*25
U. S. (lotton Week
Set For May 17-25
Cotton is North Carolina's No. 2
cash crop; cotton is one of the neces
sities of life; cotton is the most ver
satile- and widely used of nil fibers
That is why Miss Willie N. Hunter,
extension clothing specialist of N. C.
State College, urges people of the
State to support National Cotton
Week, the producer-consumer event
which will be celebrated May 17-25
"This annual campaign is held to
stimulate increased consumption of
cotton goods, and this year mer
chants of all types, individual and
chain store, are planning special
window displays and bargains in
cotton goods during the nine-day"
period," Miss Hunter declared.
The Southeastern Chain Store
Council, through its North Carolina
representative, P. D. May, is taking
an active part in the campaign in
this HlaU\ and in ihe North Carolina
Cotton Council ,of which T. B. Up
church, Jr., of Raeford, is leader, has
heartily endorsed the event.
Miss Hunter points out that cotton
contributes something useful from
infancy throughout life of every per
son. The infant's first clothes are cot
ton, and of whatever age, "we wear
and use cotton in some form or an
other."
Other specialists of State College
point out that this year, above all
others, increased domestic consump
tion of cotton will be vital to Tar
Heel farmers. The European war has
cut off export markets, and with to
bacto allotments restricting produc
tion of North Carolina's No. 1 cash
crop, scores of farmers are return

Both Tom Cheek, president of the

Arkansas Fanners Union, told the
committee that in paying full parity
on the domestically consumed por
