By FREDERICK GARDNER
NEW YORK, Aug 31—(PP)— The
stock market held its own today,
despite extensive profit selling on
Friday’s bulge, and the majority of
leaders finished a general recovery
week pointing slightly higher.
Bolstering the list, brokers said,
was growing confidence of finan-
cial quarters that the British would
be able to ward off the Germans;
increasing optimism for the busi-
ness outlook at home, and hopes
the national tax program and other
constructive legislation would be
pushed through congress at an
early date.
The aviation group exhibited mod-
erate strength throughout, but
pivotal steels, motors, rails, utilities,
oils and coppers milled over a nar-
row range.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks succeeded in showing a
net advance of .1 of a point at 43.6,
and on the week was up 1.3 points,
the second successive weekly gain,
A month ago the composite stood at
42 9 and a year ago at 46.7. .
The day’s activity was accen-
tuated by the appearance of a
number of large blocks of low-priced
issues. The result was a turnover of
363,890 shares, best for a Satur-
day since June 15. It compared with
88,380 a week ago which was the
second smallest 2 hour aggregate
since 1918.

courage use of American grown
cotton for cotton wrapping or bag-
ging. A normal crop of cotton in
the United States would require the
use of about 135,000 bales if all
were wrapped in cotton.
• • •
A maximum of a million wrap-
pings will be used for the current
year's crop and the six manufac- |
turers who have received contracts 1
will get payments of 25 cents per
wrapping to offset losses from small
volume
The cotton bagging was first
tried in 1938, when less than 17,500
bales were so covered In 1939, the
number of bales of Texas cotton
covered with cotton patterns rose
to 233 976.
and kid hair. Jones says about 6,-
000 pounds of hair sold to the same
buyer in the Tuscola area at that
price
• ••
The oldest and perhaps most
prolific pear orchard in West
Texas is owned by Albert Be-
hrens, 76-year-old resident of
the Voca community of Me-
Culloch county, who set out his
orchard in 1893. and has been
cultivating it since. He has
about 34 of the original 40
trees in his three-acre orchard
today, and expects to gather
between 15 and 20 bushels of
pears from each tree.
Behrens moved to McCulloch
county from Mason county in 1891,
settling a few miles west of Voca.
There were no improvements then,
and he built every fence and build-
ing found on his 500-acre stock
farm, of which 71 acres are in cul-
tivation.
Two years after moving there he
planted 40 pear trees, some apple,
peach and apricot trees. This was
an ideal plot of ground, sub-irri-
gated, with a spring on each side
of the three-acre orchard. But a
few years later, grasshoppers blitz-
krieged the orchard for two
straight summers, and when they
let up, only the pear trees had
survived.
If all the 1940 United States
wheat crop plus the supply in the
Ever-Normal granary were used for
food. It would provide every man,
woman and child in the nation
with twice as much bread, cereal
and wheat foods as each ate in the
entire year of 1939
