Record Yield Of
Long Staple Is
Seen This Year
Memphis, Tenn. ? To meet de
mands of the military services for
increasing quantities of fabrics made
from long staple cottons, the U. S.
Cotton Belt will this year produce
substantially more cotton of the
longer staple varieties than ever be
fore, the National Cotton Council
said today.
The Council reported that cotton
farmers this season planted a sub
stantially increased acreage to long
staple cottons, acting on the request
of the Department of Agriculture.
Much of this increased long staple
acreage was created by a diversion
of land from short and medium sta
ple lengths, though some undoubt

edly was accounted for in the 3.8
per cent general acreage increase ov
er last year.
In the irrigated sections of New
Mexico. Arizona California,
where American-Egyptian long sta
ple is the customary variety, cotton
acreage increased sharply. In New
Mexico and Arizona acreage this
year is 51 per cent over last year and
202 per cent over 1940. Plans are al
ready being made to top these in
creases in 1943.
While military demands have been
particularly heavy on long staple
stocks, domestic consumption has so
increased generally that a substan
tial hole has been made in the cot
ton surplus during the past twelve
months. Stocks in warehouses and
compresses on June 30 had dropped
20 per cent below a year ago, stand
ing at 8,459,000 bales. At the same
time mill inventories totaled 2,441,
000 bales.
Domestic consumption for this
season has reached such high peaks
that it will stand about 40 per cent
higher than in any year prior to the
1940-41 season, totaling around 11,
000,000 bales, the council said. Ex-']
ports for 1941-42 were around !,
250,000 bales.

Happy and grateful praise of Re

the latest to strongly endorse this
famous herbal stomachic and Vita

Reeves, proprietor of her own store
on R.F.D. 1, North Wilkesboro, and
one of the best known women in her
section. Telling of her happy relief
by Retonga, Mrs. Reeves declared:
"Few people suffered more dis
tress from nervous indigestion than
I did. After meals my stomach would
fill up with gas until often I would
have to gasp for breath, and my
nerves were so badly on edge 1
scarcely got an hour's sound sleep
all night long. Mornings I just felt
so achy, sluggish, and miserable I
hated to see the sun come up I was
a slave to harsh laxatives and min
eral oil, and I had such throbbing
dizzy headaches, and I felt so weak,
nervous, and trembly that sometimes
I hardly dared to risk getting out of
my chair.
"Retonga relieved all this distress

MRS. MITCH REEVES
I have regained ten pounds, I sleep
fine and I don't have to take those
harsh, sickening laxatives. I feel

has my everlasting gratitude."
If the first bottle of Retonga fails
to bring you gratifying relief the
small cost will be refunded without

PLANS BEING MADE FOR
FURNISHING AAA LIME
Plans now arc being made by
County AAA committees for furnish
ing ground limestone to North Car
olina farmers as a grant-of-aid ma
terial under the 1943 AAA program,
according to G.' T. Scott, chairman
of the State AAA committee, with
headquarters at N. C. State College.
Orders for limestone under the
1942 program already have exceeded
300,000 tons, and orders will be ac
cepted under this program until
September 15, Scott said.
County AAA committees now are
soliciting bids for hauling limestone
from railroad points in the various
counties to farmyards, he said, and
arrangements are expected to be
completed before the end of the
month so that orders under the 1943
program can be taken by October 1.
Bid forms may be obtained at coun
ty AAA offices.
Delivery prices of lime stone under
the 1942 program vary from $2.40
to $3.90 per ton, depending on fre ight
charges. Prices unde r the- 1943 pro
gram will be announced as soon as
arrangements for delivery are com
pleted, the chairman said.
"With farmers engaged in their
biggest production program in his
tory, it is expected that use of AAA
limestone under the 1943 program
will be more than 400,000 tons. Our
production goals call for more live
stock, among other agricultural
products. This means more pastures,
and limestone is needed to insure a
good growth. At the same time, it
is likely that commercial nitrates
will be hard to get next year. This
makes it necessary for farmers to
produce as much nitrogen as possi
ble through use of winter legume
crops, and limestone will be used
extensively to promote better growth
of these crops," Scott said.

For Farm Homes
By RUTH CURRENT
Honey is prized for its distinctive
flavor and delicate sweetness.
When you cook with honey, re
member that it is part water. Re
place sugar with honey, cup for cup,
hut use on-half the quantity of oth
er liquid called for. For example, if
the original recipe called for 1 cup
sugar and 1 cup milk, use 1 cup hon
ey and 1-2 cup milk. Other ingred
ients remain the same.
When honey is used in cakes and
quick breads be sure to bake at the
lowest temperature possible so the
honey won't scorch.
Honey tak> up moisture as it
stands. It is not so good for candies
and frostings unless they are eaten
at once.
Honey will keep fruit cakes and
steamed puddings moist.
Honey is good for a sandwich fill
ing ? creamed with butter, nuts,
grated orange peel, cream \ cheese,
or peanut butter. \
Honey, like other forms to sugar,
supplies energy to the body.

Cotton Protector
iriris Tire Mileage
Akron, Ohio. Resembling nothing
so much as tkt price of feminine
wearing apparel known as a girdle,
a new cotton cord protector for tire
inne rtubes just developed here is
expected to add thousands of miles
to thousands of old tires, already
marked for the scrap heap
In tests at a rubber company lab
oratory, one of the new cotton pro
tectors was placed as an inner lin
ing in a tire which had been run flat
and supposedly was so badly dam
aged it could not be used further. To
make the test more severe, the side
wall ot the tire was slashed in four
places. Use of the protector result
ed in more than 4,000 miles addi
tional use before the tire was dis
card ?'d.
The "girdle" will be manufactur
ed in quantity as no rubber is con
sumed in its make up It provides
perfect protection for the inner tube
against the chafing action of cuts
and breaks in the tire
er Stir well and add 1 teaspo
cream Stir again and spread
cookies
There is just one trick to cheese
cookery and that is, never "cook"
the cheese. Just melt it Otherwise
it may become tough and stringy.
Shave it thin or grate it so it will
blend better and faster with other
foods.
Did you ever use cheese in your
soup? Soup season is almost here
so why not grate cheese fine and
sprinkle plentifully into cream of
onion, tomato, or potato soup.
From simp to dessert, cheese will
improve I lie flavor ami goodness of
any meal
