Co-EdsWiHGe^ Back-To-School Wearing Cotton From Velveteen Date Dfesses To Cotton Cardigan Suits. New York City.—From the Park Avenue debutante at Smith to the Southern planter's daughter at Ole Miss, the gals are going back to college this year dressed in cottons. And what am art gal wouldn't have a yen for cotton? To hear the designers in this fashion capital of the world talk, cottons are simply a "must" in every girl's college wardrobe. Prom velveteen date dresses to cotton cardigan suits cottons represent the "ultra-ultra", in college styles. More beloved this year than ever before, cotton corduroys will certainly find a basic place in Mary Jane's wardrobe. These corduroys stand out in toppers, in separates including culottes, in coats and suits. They're colorful, too, appearing in vivid red, vivid blue and royal blue, all colors which wiir still be available this fall and winter. Corduroys Popular. The men's wear corduroys will get a big play from college girls. They're especially good in trench coats and short top coats. And the girls are asking for these heavy duty corduroys in the browns and tans which have long found favor among their brothers on the campus. Velveteens, too, will be hard put to meet the demand. Growing numbers of requests are being made on college shops for hollow cut velveteen coats in smart, bright school colors. The plain velveteens, so soft and warm to the touch, will be worn on every campus in date dresses that must be a bit better than the ordinary to please the man who soon will join the fighting forces. • ; In the early fall when so many campus organisations are planning^ informal outings and picnics, cotton denim slacks are going to be seen on every hand. These slacks arte in the new shorter length known as "Huck Finn" slacks. They're especially clever when teamed up with a cotton bandana shift to wear with shirttail out and tied at the waistline in front. Cotton cardigan sweater dresses are destined for college popularity along with velveteens and corduroys. They're being made in solid colors or with contrast in the ribbon whi«;h is sometimes striped. These sweater dresses are decidedly one of the most casual two-piece styles of the year. True enough, these new cottons are all done along simpler, more severe lines than last year to meet with War Production Board requirements but designers here say that cottons are so adaptable to simplicity that they're even more attractive than those of previous years. Cottons are definitely '"in" for college. They'll be greeting you on the campus. N. C. Egg Production Reaches New Heights North Carolina poultry raisers are setting a new high in the food-forvictory campaign. Frank P4rker, statistician in the Department of •Agriculture, reported that North Carolina farmers have 21 per cent more hens than they had last year. These hens laid 73,1000,000 eggs daring July, 20 per cent more than in the same period last year. Tar Heel farmers raised approximately nine per cent more chickens during the past six months thafa were raised in the same period last alkali! Ithaca, N.

CARS, Owner & Manager North Carolina's IMS flUe-cjfljNtd I tobacco crop, estimated at 506 430 -1 000 pounds, will be 12 per cent larger! 'ban last season's crop of 462,826 0001 Pour*, J. J. Morgan, statist^ of the State Department of Agriculture, reports. Morgan, on the basis of inform*- J tkrn from fanners to the Federal- j State Crop Reporting Service, attributed the tobacco acreage increase( to "additional allotments allowed byl the Agricultural Adjustment Agency! and above average prices paid for the 1M1 crop." j A total of 640.000 acres will be devoted to leaf this season, or 11 per cent more than last year wfceti growers reported an acreage of 488,000. • Although North Carolina's productioffi of bright tobacco is expected! to be 12 per cent higher than for 1941, the crop will still be three per cent under the 10-year (1930-1999) average," Morgan said. "Since the indicated yield per acre is only one) per cent above last season, the indicated increase in production is due almost entirely to the expanded acreIige." The indicated per acre yield for tobacco, based on July 1 reports, is 938 pOunda, or 10 pounds above last I year. The stand and early development J of the crop were excellent," Morgan said. "However, cool nights early ml June, followed by continued dry weather in the eastern half of the I State, checked the satisfactory rate) of growth and materially reduced the yield outlook. 'Drought damage has been severe! m the heart of eastern Carolina and other localities through the belt ReW*bt, scattered showers in the dry areas have given practically no relief. "In other eastern areas moisture has been fairly ample and the crop has developed nicely, while rainfall has been excessive in some parts of the Old Belt this year." Growing conditions in the mountain hurley regions were reported "satisfactory" with an indicated y»eld per acre of 1,100 pounds compared with 1,075 last season. Production, yield and acreage estimates by belts compared with lastyear follows: Production, 187,920,000 pounds, up 17 per cent; Per acre yield, 870 pounds, up four Per cent; acreage, 216,000, up 12 per cent Eastern N. C.

Girls have twisted up their hair, filed down their fingernails and really gone to work. They are doing many farm jobs that heretofore were considered in the exclusive realm of man. The ever-increasing use of girls as cow-testers in the Northeast bought this complaint from one Northeast iWmer; "While she's in the barn I just can't tell my kicking cows what I think of 'em. f;: Classic statement, however, came from a Jfarm woman who has al#eady given up three of her men-folk to the armed forces: "My city Mends wonder how I find time to hoe in the garden. I tell them that instead of going to bridge parties and club meetings the way they do, I get a good sharp hoe and imagine I am whacking Hitler's heels up one row, and Hirohito's down the'next, with an extaa lick at the end for the fifth column." i v ROY ,H.
