Treated Canvas
Gives Double Life

Washington, Aug. 22.-(By the As,
sociated Pressp.--Those who use
heavy canvas csvsxs to protest. thai,
crops, machinery, materials, etc,
against the weather, can almost
double the life Of the fabric if they
treat them to afford protection
against light as well as moisture and
mildew, the Department of Agricul.
ture declares in recent circular,
After series of experiments with
canvas in which waterproofing mix.
lures were made with the addition
of earth pigments such as used in
paints, the experimenters arrived at
the conclusion that keeping out the
ligh, from the inner fibres affords
considerable protection to the fabric.
Since several pigments are suit
able, there is more or less freedom
Of choice as to color, the statement
continues. For buff or khaki color
yellow ochre can be used. For q
darker buff or light brown, raw sienna
is good; for dark red or reddish
brown, burnt sienna; for olive brown,
raw umber; and for dark brown,
burnt umber is added to the mixture.
The usual formula for waterproof
ing canvas may be used with the ad-
dition of the earth pigment, using one
pound either dry or ground in linseei
oil, to each gallon of the prepared
solution. The department experts
have also found that a solution of
dark yettow petrolatum (vaselinel, +,
beeswax, gasoline, and kerosene with
the desired pigment, makes a good
waterproofing and lightproofing mix
ture. Another receipt just as COOL
is the same as the first, substituting
asphalt (petroleum or bermudez) fol
he beeswax.
The waterproofing or lightproofing
Of canvas is important for number
of uses, it is explained. The intro.
duction Of long-distance truck haul
ing has created a great demand for
stout wagon covers, which are widely
used; great quantities are used for
covers to protect grain or hay in the
shock from the weather; the merchant
uses covers to protect his produce;
contractors and builders need them to
protect machinery and materials.
The army and navy use great guam
titles of canvas and the summer
camper is another large consumer.
1t is often possible for these users to
halve the cost of their canvas by pro-
longing the life of the material.
For canvas that remains in fixe |
losition, such as permanent wagon
covers, the circular adds, boiled lin
seed oil containing one pound of the
desired pigment to each gallon may
be used. The treatment, however,
stiffens the canvas and is, therefore,
not suitable for covers that are fire.
quently folded. Lamp black was
found to, be one of the best protective
pigments for use with linseed oil,
giving the most flexible coating.
klumiNusn, bronze powder, and, for .
white color, zinc oxide, also are good,
buttthe latter stiffens the canvas more
than any other of thee pigments tried.
