Rush Allotments Warns Cotton Cnies -— i_ Cotton growers who wish allot ments under the Bankhead bill must hie their applications with their county agents before the time limit >s up, warns Charles A. Sheffield, of State College. The State Allotment Board is now setting up its office at the Col lege, he said, and farmers deserving allotments must not be held up by those who delay their applications. In each county, the time limit for filing is 15 days from the time the first applicatons are- received. Since some counties started acceptance of applications earlier than others, the dead line will vary in different places. The applications are bring accept ed in most of the counties now and the other counties will begin right away, Sheffield stated. The individual growers’ allot ments cannot be apportioned until all applications are in, Sheffield ex plained, since the county allot ments are to be prorated among the growers who apply for them. The proration will be in accordance with the past production of each grower. Sheffield pointed out that every cotton farmer is entitled to an al lotment, even if he did not sign a contract. Contract signers will have the advantage of receiving benefit payments for their crop re ductions while non-signers will not. He said that all applications should be made on form BA8. When there are tenants on the farm, form BA9 should also be filled out and attached to form BA8. —Buy in Salisbury— RFC Finds Way Of Replenishing Coffers Of PWA The Reconstruction corporation has tested and found successful a method of keeping the Public Works administration supplied with funds for employment-spreading loans. It offered for public sale a $$, 889,370 block of state, county, municipal, and railroad bonds pre viously purchased by the PWA and received bids ranging as high as $40 above their par value of $1,000. The premium represents a margin of profit for the government. All PWA loans to states, muni cipalities and railroads, consist of outright purchases of 4 per cent j bonds at par. Between the PWA and the RFC, par is also the basis of the transactions. PWA’s funds available for loans to states, cities and railroads have been virtually alloted. Last win ter congress authorized the RFC to lend the Public Works adminis tration a maximum of $25 0,000, 000 on the bonds held by the latter. By selling the securities as PWA needs more money, the RFC can keep within that limitation and still provide additional funds, with the sums in effect coming from the regular money markets. Resale of the' bonds received in exchange for PWA advances was contemplated and authorized by the national recovery act, officials em phasized and if continued would teijd to make a revolving fund of the original appropriations. Traveling Around America j ■ ■ ■ .. — .. .Photo by Grace Line—■ FIFTH AVENUE AT SEA have a busy time or it Keep ing pace with the fair sex these days! The latest luxury they’ve been called upon to provide is a Fifth Avenue beauty salon—the old fash ioned “beauty parlor” will no longer meet the demands of the seekers after beauty at sea. The salon shown above is Operated by one of Fifth Avenue's most popular beau ty specialists on the Grace Liner Santa Paula and is a striking ex ample of the many innovations in troduced by modern liners in def erence to the "better half" of their passenger lists. Back in the days when seagoers belonged to the sturdier sex ships provided only the bare necessities of life. Since women first climbed the gangplank, however, many changes nave occurred. Tiers oi DunKs nave been replaced by staterooms with comfortable beds and modern con-j veniences. “Tinned dog” has long: since disappeared from the menu; and been replaced by delicacies kept j fresh in electric refrigerators. The. ships “Doc” has retired from the| galley in favor of expert chefs and dieticians who preside over up-to the-minute kitchens. Luxuriously furnished living rooms, dining rooms and restaurants, shops, clubs and gymnasiums have invaded the deckhouse. Decks have spread out and taken on the atmosphere of country club and beach resort. In deed, ships have gone completely modern and are being well repaid— with bigger and better passenger lists. Fit Cattle Early For Fall Shows The fitting and showing of dairy inimals is an art that means almost is much as quality in winning prizes n the sho wring. Fred M. Ffaig, associate professor >f animal husbandry and dairying it State College, who has judged nany exhibits at fairs, said that nany owners have lost place! hrough improper methods of pre aring and exhibiting their entries. Too many dairyman wait until a reek or two before the fair to start reparing their cattle for the show ng, he said. The animals should be elected 10 or 12 weeks before the air and put through a thorough onditioning. They should be elected for their ige and breed, with straight, level op lines; long, deep middles; nat -ual refinement or quality; and ;mart, clean-cut appearance. The young animals should ap proach the upper age limit of their class, since the larger animals are given preference over smaller ones, he said, when other things are equal. Ffe also suggested fitting several animals in each class so that thoe showing up best at the close of the finishing season can be selected fo exhibition. Females in milk should have well developed mammary systems, with large, well balaned udders and teats of uniform size, squarely placed. The dry cow does not show up so well as the cow in milk. Haig worned against putting toe much fat on the animals or over fitting them. The objective is tc put on just enough flesh to give them a smooth, sleek appearance. A good grain mixture to feed is 10C pounds of ground corn, 100 pounds! of ground oats, 100 pounds of j wheat bran, and 100 pounds of lin-j seed oil meal. Careful grooming of the animals is as important as proper feeding, with plenty of brushing every day. . Tar soap is recommended. Haig ad vsed aganst clipping over the entire body as it makes the hair grow coarser.
