Official Paper for Morrow County
Mattress Making
Applications in State
Pass 10,000 Mark
Surplus rawcotton from the sou
thern states will roll into Oregon
throughout this spring and summer
to meet the needs of the mattress
making centers throughout the state,
where thousands of Oregon families
have applied for the privilege of
, making their own mattresses from
the surplus cotton being distributed
free through the AAA and Surplus
Marketing administration.
Officials of the O. S. C. extension
service in charge of the mattress
making project report a far greater
response in many counties than was i
anticipated when the project was
undertaken. Already applications in
25 counties have been made for 10,
078 mattresses, which will require
some 15 carloads of raw cotton. The
project may be extended later to
other bounties.
Although applications are accepted
only from families with a stated
minimum annual cash income, the
extension service emphasizes the
fact that this is not a relief project,
but instead is a means of disposing
of huge stocks of surplus cotton
while at the same time increasing
the standard of living in rural
homes.
With 1508 applications by the first
week in March, Marion county led
the others in the response to the
TlrAffpaWl TVTnlVlrM 1 nmv.4-r 1 ll 1
actual mattress-making work was
started first, has applications for
1249 mattresses, of which 480 have
been made. In Deschutes county
the program is under way with 509
applications and approximately 300
mattresses made. Klamath county
is also started, with 329 applications
and about 100 made so far. Both
Jackson and Josephine county fam
ilies have turned in an excess of
700 applications.
The Oregon granges are coopera
ting in. the program by making
grange halls available as centers for
making the mattresses. Certain spe
cial machinery is supplied to each
center and in each case local instruc
tors are trained by the extension
service to help in the actual making
of the mattresses Those who have
completed their mattresses so far
are enthusiastic about the high qual
ity of the product, according to the
extension leaders. Experience in
other states has shown that these
mattresses will remain in excellent
condition for years if given proper
care.
Morrow county applications for 60
mattresses have been received in
the county agent's office and appli
cations are coming in faster each
day as April 20 is the closing date
for receiving applications.
