Farm Demonstration Women Boost '
Wearing Of Cotton Dress Goods
Stylish dresses for all occasions
■ are being made at home by demon
! '(ration club women at low cost
! front textiles produced by southern
1 mills. So far in 1931. the home dem
j onstratlon club women have held 51
style shows at which there were 59,
1922 persons.
“We feel that the farm women of
North Carolina are taking a lead
ing part in popularizing cotton fa
brics,'’ says Mrs. Jane S. McKlm
rhon, assistant extension director at
State college. “We began holding
| our style or cotton dress shows back
in 1922. During that year and in
1930, the women held 43 of these
shows, with 21,016 persons attend
ing. Including the shows held this
spring, there have been 81,538 per
sons present on these occasion*.’’
The best thing about the shows
was that women who had never
appeared on any stage showed no
reluctance in entering the products
of their handiwork, and they were
glad to answer questions as to the
cast of the garments and the time
it took to make them. In most in
stances the dresses cost from one
to two dollars and never over three.
Grandmothers, mothers and daugh
ters all took part In t®e shows and
wore their house dresses, suits, aft
ernoon frocks and even sports and
evening dresses before the assem
bled groups of people.
Mrs. McKimnion says the women
are learning how to make suitable
clothes of hecoming colors and
properly made. In all cases, the
women use material made in North
Carolina or nearby southern milts.
In many instances they ; have co
operated with town women’s chibs
in putting on similar demonstra
tions and hundreds of town people
have seen cotton material worked
into lovely dresses. These garments,
she says, are in marked contrast
to commercial ones which generally
cost twice as much per yard as the
farm women spend on their' entire
costume.

virtually an invitation to join his

The letter which was received

part:
"For the past few weeks 1 have
been giving some consideration to
the matter of asking for the Demo
cratic nomination for the office of
attorney general of North Carolina

generally does not take so much in

of this character and I must depend
largely upon the support of the par

county. I will probably not make
any definite decision or statement
as to whether or not I will be a
candidate until sometime about the
first of the year.
"I am writing to ask that you

support. In your opinion, I will be

lion Bairs.
* _
At its closing session m Paris.;
industrial cotton congress passed a
resolution appealing to the United
States Farm board to announce a
definite program for the sale or its
3.000,000 bales of cotton. The resolu
tion urges the board to sell, not at a
fixed price, but in such quantities
daily as will give the various co
operative associations the average
price for the period during which
the cotton is marketed.
The congress also decided to do
everything legally possible to ex
tend the use of Egyptian cotton and
to encourage the development of
Indian cotton planting,
Russia's cotton acreage of 6,178.
-00, an increase of 2,338,000 over
1930, should give an exportable sur
plus of 1,000,000 bales over Russian
domestic consumption. Consumption
of American cotton by soviet Russia
has been declining rapidly, drop
ping to 80.500 bales in 1930 from
289,000 in 1929 and 429,000 in 1928.
