INGREASE COTON | LSE IS PROPLSED Agriculture Bureau Sees | Where Million More Bales Could Be Consumed. By the Associated Press. An increase in the amount of cotton gonsumption by a million bales could ;be accomplished by additional use of cotton in bags and bagging for agri- cultural products, in curing concrete, for net and other uses in power laun- dries and in numerous other ways, ac- @ording to the Bureau of Agricultural Bconomics. The estimate was made Sollowing an analysis of prices and | service requirements by the bureau. | 1t estimated that the largest single mm open to increased consumption of e chief product of the South would be in the use of cotton fabrics for baling raw cotton. A total of 225000 bales, it said, could be used in that way. ‘While flour mills now use about 146.- 000 bales a year, the bureau said mills could use an additional 165.000 bales it they packaged their entire output in cotton containers for both whole- sale and retail trades. Additional Use Proposed. It asserted that the use of 100,000 bales a year by the sugar industry could be doubled if cotton containers were used wholly for refined sugar. It said the potential use of cotton containers for packaging fertilizers, feeds, cement, potatoes, citrus fruits and other prod- | ‘ucts is far from the saturation point. If all fertilizers were packed in cot- ton, it estimated that 140,000 bales of cotton would be consumed in addition to about 4,000 bales now used for the | annually. | Use of cotton for packaging feed eould be increased from 47.000 bales to | 156,000 bales, it was said, while greater use in the potato industry would take 109,000 bales. Use in packing cement could be increased from 48,000 bales to 82,000 males and in packaging salt from | 78,000 bales to 118,000 bales, according to the bureau's figures. Steady Increase Found. | ‘The bureau said it has been encour- | aged by surveys showing a steady in- crease in the consumption of cotton for packaging various commodities. | It attributed much of the increase | to “consumer approval of retail pack- | aging of bulky farm products in cotton oontainers and to a growing demand by Southern farmers that fertilizers, feed. ' flour, sugar and other commodities they buy be packaged in cotton containers to aid the cotton industry,” in addi- | tion to which it was said that cotton | containers have also been found to have | MOTHER SEES SLAYING Unable to Explain Mysterious At- tack by Two at Bungalow.
