THE STATE FARMER SECTION PAGE NINE itural ’brevities Rcjrigeratiou /Vj)ple growers of the Shcnaiiildah- Cuiuberlaiul seitioii, who exjiort to Kni'lHiui, will nft better returns «)ii their early fall crop if the fruit is shipped under refrigeration, aceording to the Mureau of Plant In«lustry, I . S. De partment of Agriculture. I'his is partic ularly true in September, when exceed ingly warm outside tejnperatures are likely to bring about decay in fruit in triiiisit. Apples shipped without refrig eration usually arrive on the foreign mar ket fully ripe and with varying amounts of decay. r' V 5 J Here's Hew ToTrcat FOOT ITCH ATHLETE’S FOOT Cotton A cotton bag in which to package raw sugar has been designed by tech nologists of the Hureau of Agricultural Economics, in ctmperation with the North Carolina State College. The bag is to be put through a series of practical tests in transporting raw sugar fronj Hawaii to refineries in California, in comparison with sugar bags made of jute. At present, jute bags are used ex clusively. All jute is ini|X)rte*l to this country, chiefly from India. While cot ton bags will cost more than jute, Bu reau officials believe that this disparity in cost may be overcome by developing a cotton fabric that can be reused three or more times, nie cotton bag will Ix* definitely cheaper than jute if it can be use*! three timi-s, since jute bags are useil only once. I'en thousand cotton bags will be used by the Hawaiian sugar ass<KiatioM in making test shipments. Officials esti mate that if wtton can displace the jute "'11 provi<le an outlet ot about i(),(KH) bales of cotton a year. If all im|K)rts of raw sugar were packaged it) cotton bags the consumption of a)t- ton would be iticreased by about bales a year. ♦ * * • Rural Elcctrifaitio/i I'nder the direction of the National Committee on Hoys and Clirls Club Work, in cooperation with state and community 4-II Club leatlers, a national program on rural electrification, is this year, attracting nation-wide attention.
