Utilization Of Cotton

New uses for cotton will be demonstrated by the
e. s. Department Of Agriculture assisted by the Cot
ton Textile Institute, al the national cotton show IN
Memphis in October, according to announcement BY
the department. which, during the past four years has
devoted much time to the study Of this subject.
As a result Of the research BY department experts
cotton is now being utilized for many textiles formerly
woven from other fibers, and new chemical and indus
trial uses for the southern staple have also been dis
covered. Hundreds Of thousands Of bales are now be-
ing used for these purposes, expanding the market for
the product and stabilizing he price 70 a great extent.
According TO the bulletin issued BY the department
the exhibit will cover an area Of more than 5000 square
feet. the main feature covered by a cotton canopy of
vivid stripes. In this area there will be a full EXPOSE
tion OF the United States cotton standards and their
use IN the marketing Of the staple. The utilization Of
cotton seed and Of cotton linters will be shown in hun
dreds Of products from animal feeds to cellophane,
the new transparent covering for fruits and vegetables.
The processes Of cotton warehousing and the work
ings Of the u. s. warehouse act will be depicted
or special interest in the government exhibit Is d
model automobile in connection with which is shown
the various ways and places where cotton enters the
manufacture Of motor cars. approximately IS pounds
OF cotton on the average is used in each automobile in
the manufacture Of tires. seat cushions and covers. tops
and other parts.
Another feature in which the department. has aided
in increasing cotton consumption is in new fabrics and
dress designs. The products Of cotton lnters such as
palutes mAtAECHnAr EiAANA CtiIAuStS AFAO&AFU1 aAH
similar commodities represent branches which have
been extended in recent years.
The utilization Of cotton for cotton bagging will be
demonstrated at the Memphis exhibit, four bales hav-
ing been shipped to Germany and returned as q test
OF durability The cotton was baled at Henderson, NJ.
c.; shipped TO Norfolk, Va. where the bales were COM
pressed to high density; then reshipped to Philadelphia
and handled in 4 warehouse at that point; and thence
shipped to Bremen, Germany. The bales received twice
the handling usual in international trade, but the cot
ton bagging Is In excellent condition, indicating IL can
be substituted for jute and provide a market for a
large quantity of low grade cotton.
The object Of the Memphis exhibit is TO impress
upon southern cotton growers what the department -
doing TO aid the industry, and the achievements Of re-
rent years in developing new uses and additional mar
kets for the southern staple. This work has been Of
ksst Importance to the entire south, and the experts Of
Ire department state that they have merely begun, pre-
bictiur that within another decade millions Of bales
kf cotton will BE- demanded By markets nov non

With the introduction Of--rhalloon
tires the habit of driving over rough
roads at a higher speed than before
developed quite extensively, but j
soon was found that this was dcne
to the detriment of the inspiring
weight of the car.
Consequently, the thinking motor
list gave up entirely the practice OF
travelling over rough roads, except
when the circumstances absolutely
forced him to use them.
Much of the wear on the FROM
balloon tires is traced to shimmy, or
wheel wobbIe, which is produced by
the rough roads. This is not the
ordinary shimmy, but wo5oie
which passes almost unnoticed!
The driver realizes that he is
traversing a rough road, but ne Is
not Inconvenience. Meanwhile the
treads of the tires are wearing
"spotty."
The keenness to avoid bad roads
may easily be seen by observing me
Increased traffic which passes over
improved roads as soon as they are
opened up. One of the causes 70.
which touring and motor camping
owe their great popularity IS the
vast increase in the mileage Ut
payed roads throughout the country.
IT is safe to say that more than
one half of the motorists to be met
along the highways of the country
would be spending their vacations
otherwise il the Nations roads were
unimproved as they were in 1912.
Repairs Excessive
Some ardent lovers OF nature
would venture forth, but to many
it would be a financial impoSsibIl-ty
as the expense of repair bills along
the way would be excessive.
That paved roads and streets viii
draw traffic to the almost compie,e
desertion of those that are rough,
even at the. sacrifice OF the motor
lists time, easily is proved by CD
serving city traffic.
Rough roads decrease the efIec-
tiveness of chassis fabrication. That

Job will be good but for one-hah
the mileage possible when the car
is used over good roads.
Especially is this true of the
ends OF the springs where the first
leaf I'ubs against the master haf.
Such points must be fabricated
far more frequently when the car
is used over rough roads.
Motorists should make 1t point
to watch out for good roads, to
learn where they may be found and
then use them. The distances may
be little longer than over the
main route to their destinations,
but the higher speed at which taey
may travel and the longer life OF
the car which will result from cfoos-
ing smooth roads, will more than
repay the car owner.
Numerous Routes
The principal cities always are
connected by more than one route.
Among these routes there Will
usually be found several which are
good practically all the way.
While It will he difficult to Choose
