DOUBLE WI1J) GAME
DISTRIBUTION
New or improved methods of
trapping enabled the Texas Game,
Fish and Oyster Commission to
•double the number of wild tur-
key and deer distributed this year
as compared with the num b e r
planted last year, it is announced
by the executive secretary" of the
Game Department. A total of
458 turkeys were trapped and 368
deer were planted in areas where
they were needed fer restocking
purposes.
The report of the director of
game distribution to the Game
Department Chief reveals that the
(jeer either trapped in devices used
by the Game Department for the
first time this year or small deer
.which were collected by the De-
partment were in far better con-
dition than usual and an increase
in the deer population is expected
i Deer were distributed in twenty-
one counties which still have suf-

King Cotton
Can’t Turn
Back Now
King Cotton in Texas can’t Jturn
back or give up even though the
future looks dark, declares Dr.
A. B. Cox, University of Texas
cotton marketing authority.
He said national and world con-
ditions indicate that Texas will
not be able to retain its former
income and dominant position in
the cotton industry.
“Yet even if we wanted to with-
draw' from the foreign markets,
it would be impossible,” he de-
clared. “Cotton is the very base
of employment in the South. To
reduce the crop permanently will
disrupt our whole economic and
social order and cause misery be-
yond our ability to now visualize.”
< Decline in Texas’ cotton empire
has come about through rising
production in other countries and
lower prices, he said.
Dr. Cox suggested that for the
United States to meet the crisis
for the best, she should:
1. Eliminate the effects of
above-market-price loans on cot-
ton to permit cotton to flow con-
tinuously into world markets at
| competitive levels.
2. Lower costs of production;
1 improve quality of Texas cotton.
3. Encourage economical pro-
duction and change present meth-
I ods of makifig cotton allotments.
4. Direct all federal subsidies
j toward improving the efficiency
of agricultural productivity and
the desirability of the farm as a
place to live.
5. Make a greater effort to dis-
cover new and more economical
ways to manufacture and use cot-
ton.

FISH BALANCE UPSET
One of the major problems fac-
ing the acquatic division of the
Texas Game, Fish and Oyster
Commission is the upsetting of
the balance between game and
rough fish in lakes of the state.
An excellent example of this was
found near Edinburg recently
when a lake which was going dry
was seined by Department em-
ployees.
The owner of this twenty-one-
acre lake bqiieved he ha

Year For Cotton
Extension of its conquests of
last season in the high style field
was predicted for cotton by Am-
erican fashion experts here at-
tending the annual spring open-
ings which have featured cotton
dresses to a greater extent than
ever before.
In a cable to the National Cot-
ton Council, Editor Cormel Snow
of Harper’s Bazaar said, “It was
sensational to find cotton in the
most elegant evening dresses in
Paris. Those shown by Paquin and
Balanciaga are shyly printed cot-
tons that are among the best
dresses going to America.
“Think of a brown cotton print-
ed with pink moss roses made into
Balanciaga’s outstanding evening
dress, and Paquin has two print-
ed cottons that are among the best
dresses going to America.
"You begin in the morning with
a crisp cotton blouse; you go to
the country in one of the Alix’
lovely printed cotton dresses.|
These skirts are very full, very
short, with a stitched yoke. The
smartest water-proof in Paris is in
striped cotton at Schiaparelli’s.” j
Although American mills were j
unable to supply the sudden de-
mands for cotton fine goods last
season, they have been working
at full speed this year in prepara-
tion for the spring and summer.
Bowl Teams Wear
Jerseys Of Cotton
Handing a tip to Cotton Belt
football coaches, the National Cot-
ton Council today revealed that
all four winners of Bowl games in
1940 wore mercejized cotton yarn
jerseys. Southern California, Ge-
orgia Tech, Texas A. & M. and
Clemson teams all entered the
playing field last New Year’s Day
wearing the improved cotton jer-
seys.
Placing a stamp of approval on
mercerized cotton jerseys and ath-
letic garments, Coach W. A. Alex-
ander of Georgia Tech said, “Here
In the South where the climate
during our football season induces
heavy perspiration on the part of
the players, we feel the need of
football equipment that will do
the best job of absorbing and evap-
orating this perspiration. We have
found that jerseys made of mer-
cerized cotton yam are the best
for they keep the body cooler and
more comfortable, and reduce the
danger of chills, colds, muscular
stiffness and chafing. For several
years our teams have worn only-
jerseys made of mercerized cotton
yarn.”
Foreign Trade
Week Scheduled
Coming within the period of
National Cotton Week, National
Foreign Trade Week, May 19-25,
has received the endorsement of
the National Cotton Council as be-
ing an event of importance to the
raw cotton industry.
“Our goal is to increase the
domestic consumption of cotton to
10,000,000 bales a year and the
consumption of American cotton
abroad to 6,000,000 bales a year,”
the Cotton Council said.
“It is of prime importance that
the part foreign trade plays in
the economic life of the Cotton
Belt be brought more to the public
mind. National Foreign Trade
Week has been originated for just
this purpose.”
