Defense Booms New Uses for King Cotton <y

WASHINGTON.
BY PETER EDSON
N'EA Service Washlncton Correspondent
-Tills business of having to find substitutes be-
cause of the defense effort turns up in the darisdest places. In
addition to Army, Navy and British demands for increased food sup-
plies, plus all the wrangling over increased parity
payments and the 48-cent penalty on surplus wheat,
preparedness and priorities reach right down to tho
farm, and in ways that you'd never think.
Take the ordinary, everyday gunny sack, for in-
stance—burlap if you want to give it the proper
name. Practically all the burlap used in the
United States is imported from India, and 80 per
cent of the year's normal supply at 725 million
yards is used for bagging farm products-pota-
toes, fertilizer, cotton bales and so on. But shipping
space from Ind#i is scarce. The supply is unequal
to the demand, and prices would have been way
up by now if OPACS—Office of Price Administra-
tion and Civilian Supply to you—hadn't slapped
down a maximum to keep the matter under con-
trol.
While that keeps the price in line, it still docsn t
burlap and if the country should ever have to do a

other national monument, things would

The only answer to the problem is to --tart making bags out of
something else, flight here is where all that surplus cotton comes in.
Al-o, it's right \vh<-i e rfie Department of .-Vinculum's lug program of
tindi'ig new use., foi farm surpluses <• nes in. and all its research is
just starting to pay dividends in a constructive way.
T)AC'S formerly made of burlap, because it was cheaper, will have
to he made out of cotton even though the price of cotton is being
permitted to rise while the price Of bill lap is pegged.
In connection with cotton bale coverings, a curious sidelight: Cotton
bale* have always been wrapped in burlap because the burlap
wrapping for a hale of cotton is pounds heavier than a cotton
pattern wiapping would be. and citton is bought ..rid sold On a. gross
weight basis. Cotton growers, thinking they have been beating the
buyers, have always figuted they were selling that 7'a pounds of
cheap burlap at cotton prices. For that simple reason and 110 other it
has been impossible to persuade tlje t' aditam-bound cotton grower to
change his ways to the extent of using a cotton wrapped bale.
Naturally, the cotton buyer* have known that this 7 * is pounds of
extra burlap weight was there and h..ve 1 i«ced their prices accord-
ingly. but it has been impossible to sell that idea in the south, even
though the use of cotton pattern wrappers for a crop of 12 million
bales would have helped consume another 130,000 bales of surplus
cotton.
DIOGEST hope for use of surplus cotton, piled up by the wartime
loss of the export market, is in the making of cotton insulation.
The surface of this industry has iust been scratched, say the cotton
engineers, who found a Wi.y to fireproof cotton fibres so they won't
ignite even under the flame of a 2000-degrcc blowtorch. Being light
in weight and not settling under vibration, cotton insulation has been
found good for both airplane cabins and refrigerator express cars. It
is also being used as house insulation, and oileis a potential for a post-
defense-effort industry that may help the south wade out from under
its terrible cotton surplus.
Experiments are going on to find other uses for the cotton surpluses,
such as cotton covered plywoods, use of cotton as a reinforcing mem-
brane for bituminous road- and airport runways, cui ing sheets for
concrete roads, shade for nursery seedlings and so on.
If people could just be persuaded to use these things, instead of
doing them in the old-fashioned way, maybe this cotton surplus could
be reduced. But again, maybe it's all a good bit like the matter of
cotton stockings.
Exports Market
For Cotton Goal
Of Commtitee
HILLSBORO <U.R> A commit-
tee to find nteans of regaining ex-
IHirt markets for cotton alter the
war has been appointed by Burris
C. Jackson, chairman of the State
Wide Cotton Committee of Texas.
Jackson sr.-id committeemen
were "starting out fresh," with no
definite course in mind. They
must deal. h, said with one of
the most critical exnoit problems
ever to face the industry.
Foreign markets in Europe and
thc Orient have been closed by
blockades and American delinea-
tion of "belligerent zones" info
which American vessels cannot
|>ass. The reason Just ending
showed the smallest cotton ex-
ports in history, it was said, and
the cotton market suffered a se-
vere blow,
"The Texas cotton empire wa*
built solely upon valiu.'hle foreign
outlets." Jarkson declared.
"Hence, it is e;;.sent'al that we
j keep open the problem ol export I
j markets. When these markets 1
I once more are functioning, we
should be ready to put up a figii!
for our proper share.'1

TyEW YORK.—Forty-eight hours before Freddie Cochrane wai
scheduled to meet Fritzie Zivie for the welterweight cham-'
pionship, Luke Carney and a Pittifcurgh lawyer shoved a piece of
paper under Willie Gilzenberg's nose and told him to sign it.
"Sign it," repeated Carney, "or there'll be no fight."
: "And he meant it," beams Gilzenberg, "so I signed without as
much as reading it. After waiting three months, I'd have signed
anything to get Zivic into the same inclosure with Red Cochrane."
When Gilzenberg got around to perusing the epochal docu-
ment he found he had consented to giving Carney a 25 per cent
interest in Cochrane.
"That's what we had to give Eddie Mead to get Henry Arm-
strong in there," explained Carney.
To get the Zivic match. Gilzenberg first had to sign an agree-
ment for a return match at weight within 60 days.
But Gilzenberg, an old hand at refusing to be stampeded, now
reveals he was only giving Carney his autograph, anyway.
MMIAT'S an old pugilistic practice—giving autographs. That
was all Gene Tunney was doing when he etched his monicker
en the parchment giving Boo Boo Boflf 25 per cent of himself in
return for a guarantee of the result in Philadelphia.
It frequently pays a beak buster to sign anything before an
engagement. The idea is to get the opportunity and win. Agree-
ments can be ignored later.
Carney now offers to return one of Gilzenberg's autographs
provided he fulfills the terms printed above thc other and again
pairs Cochrane with Zivic at 147 pounds.
But, having listened to all that guff and practically suffering
from writer's cramp from signing autographs, Gilzenberg will do
exactly as he pleases.
Lew Jenkins is first on Cochrane's calling list. The new loy
Bulldog is doing 145 pounds, his natural weight, for the light-
weight leader at Madison Square Garden, Oct. 6, which is 11 little
more than HO days after July 29, which was vfhen Zivic stubbed
lus toe in Newark.
