Fifty industrial and educational
leaders attended the mattress con
ference called here October 2 by
H. H. Williamson, director of the
Texas A. & M. College Extension
Service.
The means of launching a mat
tress campaign through which it
is hoped to put a million new mat
tresses in Texas homes, and in
cidentally use up around 100,00
bales of cotton, were discussed. It
was decided that each of the agen
cies, organizations, and programs
represented at the conference would
form a cooperative sponsorship of
the movement. This would carry
the leadership directly to the va
rious counties and districts. As this
program is to be statewide, each
county, district, and local club will
have direct activities in the intro
duction and education of the pro
gram. The members of the coop
erative sponsorship will select a
smaller committee to outline the
immediate plan and field of acti
vity.
There are three classes of people
who will benefit from the program.
These are in order of their im
portance; those now on the relief
rolls; those whose income is just
above relief requirements; and
those who are considered in the
middle income bracket.
The surplus of cotton in the
United States totals approximately
13,000,000 bales of which 6,000,000
have been accepted by England in
trade for rubber and other minor
commodities. The importance of
home use of home-grown products
was stressed with direct emphasis
on this surplus. The inadequacies
of bedding in many of our urban
and rural homes was also stressed,
and special attention paid to the
use of the fiber in mattresses and
comforts.
Texas farm women and 4-H club
girls, working through their ag
ents, made 3,417 cotton mattresses
in 1938. Many of these women and
girls will be able to pass on to
their neighbors what they have
learned.

get an answer.”

Hurd.”
