Cotton Is Finding New Outlets In Building Field ???' Panel Board. Flexible Glass And Bonded Metal Are Bift Cotton Users New York?A paneling wood so thin yet so strong that you can wrap it around a pencil without breaking it?glass almost as thick as your win dow pane that you can curve around a post?thin sheets of wood and steel so perfectly bonded as to be insep arbale? these are dependent upon cotton in part for the qualities which are making them the talk of the building industry. And their rapid ly expanding use lends further cre dence to the belief that the building industry will develop into the long awaited new milhon-bale-a-year out let for cotton. Newest of the three products, the flexable glass, is glass bonded to cot ton fabric and then divided into a series of squares or rectangles. Made in 26 colors, it is rapidly being ac cepted by the American building in dustry for use in decorative work in homes, office buildings, hotels and public structures. Like the flexible glass, the flexi ble wood is dependent upon cotton fabric as a base material Not a syn thetic, it is made up of extremely thin strips of flexed woods, fixed to the cotton backing by a special ad hesive. The cement developed for af fixing the flexible wood makes it suitable for application to dry plas ter, steel, plywood, hard wailboards. tile, marble, asbestos or even glass For extreme strength as well as beauty, the new product of bonded wood and metal is finding a spec ial place in the building industry. A thin sheet of steel and a sheet of wood are bonded together by a lay er of cotton cloth and metallic and phenol resin adhesives. So strung is the adhesive that water cannot pene trate into the cotton between the wpod and steel. Easily cut. drilled, punched, stamped and bent to shape, the bonded metal is being used in the manufacture of furniture, where TO CHECK Farmers Prompt In Paying Crop Loans Farmers and tenants in Martin ] County have set a splendid record | in the repayment of emergency crop! and feed loans, according to a state, ment from the Farm Credit Admin istration of Columbia, S. C. Ovef the years, farmers of this county have borrowed $245,000 of emergency crop and feed loans and have repaid more than 98 per cent of the money. Hie loans are made primarily to farmers who have no other source of credit. The average size loan in this county is about $140. The Federal government provided the first such loans as an emergency measure dur ing the World War; and they have been made regularly since 1931. al though in smaller volume for the past few years. Governor A. G. Black, of the Farm Credit Administration recent ly cited the repayment record on crop loans as "an outstanding ex ample of the integrity and responsi bility of the small farmer in the South. "A great majority of the borrow ers have well repaid the confidence placed in them by Congress in ap propriating funds for these loans." he stated. "The emergency crop loans have helped many farmers make a living when no other credit was available. Further than that, many farmers who obtained these loans built a reputation for paying their debts and this has been worth a good deal to them. Thousands are now regularly obtaining credit needed from the production credit associations, which were establish ed in 1933 and now provide a perma nent source of credit for crop and livestock production in the South ern states. "It is no accident," Governor Black continued, "that the 200 production credit associations in the South have a larger concentration of members than any other section of the coun try and a very enviable repayment performance."

Convention Business Is A "Big Business* Most cities consider national con ventions a profitable investment. Last year American Legionnaires spent $15,000,000 at Chicago, and Bos ton expects just as big a gross this year. Four hundred thousand visi tors, more than half of whom will be Legionnaires and their wives and families, will add one-half to the city's population for at least three days. Their 3,000,000 meals will cost at least $2,700,000 Three hundred thousand of them, staying in Bos ton an average of two nights each, will run up a hotel bill of $1,500,000 or more. And they're expected to spend $10,000,000 on entertainment and "miscellaneous". Legionnaires do everything in a big way. They ! will have from 300 to 400 bands and drum corps in their parade They have hired huge Braves field, seat ing 40,000, for the outdoor night spec tacle, "Cavalcade of Stars," staged by Schenley Post 1100. Another 40. 000 will constitute the biggest au dience ever to hear the famed Bos ton symphony orchestra.
