Cotton Goods Are
Good 'Buy' For the
Cotton Farmers
Cotton farmers who will earn
stamps for participating in the Sup
plementary Cotton Program of the
LT. S. Department of Agriculture this
year will find that cotton goods are
a good "buy" in 1941, say Miss Willie
N Hunter and Miss Julia Mclver.
Extension clothing specialists of N
C. State College The first of the cot
ton stamps will be issued in North
Carolina about July 1
The stamps are being earned by
farmers for voluntarily reducing
their cotton acreage below their
1941 AAA allotments County agents
and AAA committeemen have full
information on the Supplementary
Cotton Program.
"Cotton is smart this season." the
Extension clothing specialists dedal
ed "It is becoming to wear: easily
laundered, and doesn't pile up dry
cleaning bills. It is strong and dur
able; is cheap and plentiful to buy "
Miss Hunter pointed out that the
cotton stamps can be used all at
one time or one or two at a time un
til they are gone Farmers can buy
from any store or mail order house
selling cotton goods and willing to
handle the stamps. Only new articles
can be bought, and they must be
made entirely of cotton, grown and
manufactured in the United States
"Yard cotton goods have no! ad
vanced in price in proportion to man
ufactured garments." the clothing
specialists said. "The 'Stamps will go
much further in clothing the family
if yard goods are purchased and gar
ments made by the homemaker.
However, the cotton stamps can be
used to buy all kinds of cotton goods
?cotton dresses, pants, overalls, un
derwear, night clothes, baby clothes,
socks, stockings, sheets, pillow cases,
blankets, bed spreads, and a number
of other articles, as well as piece
goods."
Army May Release Skilled
Craftsmen From Service
The War Department announced j
recently that soldiers needed be- I
cause of their special skills to fill
key positions in defense industries j
hereafter may be released from mil- i
itary service to return to civilian j
employment.
This constituted an entirely new
policy for the military establishment j
and apparently was designed to meet 1
the complaints of many industrial- j
ists that even though a labor short i
age was developing in many cate
gories of skilled workers men qual
ified in those skills were being draft
ed into the Army Requests for re
leases must come from former em
ployers.
