Pipe Made Of Plastic
The speaker described devel-
opment of still another family
of plastic-like textiles called
Textryles, also a plastic used in
making pipe for industrial uses,
The new pipe is being made
in an Oklahoma plant and is
finding some of its first market
in Southwestern oil fields where
it is being used to bring the oil
out of the wells with less danger
from friction.
1t is sold by the mile instead
of by the foot.
New products also have been
developed from the fluorinated
carbon family of chemicals and
a new transparent film has
shown itself highly resistant to
the sun in a 35-month test in
Florida, he reported.
Another new plastic has been
tested as bearings in automo-
biles, including a group of
Washington area taxis. One of
the newest products looks and
feels like leather, but is strong

dental Restaurant luncheon.
Speakers were c. A. Kline, jr..
first assistant treasurer, and
DR.. H. H. Hopkins, assistant to
the treasurer and an expert on
research and development of
new products.
Mr.. Kline said Dupont sales
for the full year 1861 will be
2 or 3 per cent above 1860 and
indicated 1862 sales should
show a further gain of around
8 to 10 per cent, same as an
expected rise in Gross National
Product.
Sales in the first quarter of
this year Jagged 4 per cent be-
hind the like 1860 period, but
staged a steady recovery in the
second and third quarter, he
pointed out. Third quarter sales
of S552 million were only 2 per
cent behind a year earlier and
nine months sales of $l,682,-
100000 were equal to a year
ago, he said.
Earnings Improving
While earnings of around
5000 million for nine months
of this year were off 4 per cent
from a year earlier, per share
earnings for the full year
should exceed the $8.10 a share
earned in 1860, even after ex-
.cluSion of earnings of So cents
a share on GIN shares, he de-
lclared. A continuation of the
rise is expected next year.
Company plants are operat-
ing currently at around rs per
cent of an estimated annual
capacity of SO billion a year, he
said.
Capital expenditures Of $214
million in 1860, declined to 5000
to $205 million for 1861, but
will rise in 1862, he said. Out
lays for pioneering research
will amount to around $50 mil
lion this year and are expected
to increase 6 per cent next year,
he added.
Because some of its develop
ment work carries considerable
risk, the company maintains a
strong cash position in bank
balances and in marketable
securities, the speaker said.
Its investment portfolio totals
around $500 million currently.
Mr.. Kline would not comment
on plans for distribution of Gen.
eral Motors stock under Fed
eral court order and said no
plans had been made for a split
of DUPONT shares. Such a step
could. not be considered until
after the General Motors dis
tribution, he said.
"a New Products Listed
DR.. Hopkins reviewed an
amazing variety of new products
that Dupont is ready to market
or is developing.
The company now has new
HIT l Nylon which is twice as
resistant to heat and decompo-
sition as ordinary 66 Nylon fab
ric.
This can be used in milady'S
hosiery, but also has wide ap-
plications in jet planes, para
chutes, uniforms and other de-
fense uses. 1t is expected to
become a valuable insulating
material in industry.
Another new Nylon will per-
NIT a wider range of colorS and
weaves in rugs and carpeting,
the speaker said. Still another
has a tri-lobal cross section in
the shape of a three-leaf clover
instead of the old round shape.
This will provide new qualities
and weaves in women's lingerie,
draperies, upholstery and other
products, he said.
Competition is keen in Nylon,
but demand remains very
strong, and as late as three
months ago, Dupont had to
ration out supplies, DR.. Hop
kinS added.
The cross section of Dacron
fiber also has been changed to-
the tri-lobal type and this has
improved durability and uses,
especially in mems clothing, he
continued.

Many of the Delta farmers
who are cooperating with the
Holmes County Soil Conser-

established good drainage sys-
TENS on their farms.
Harry O'Neal a farmer near
Tchula has recently construct
ed 1900 feet of dragline ditch.
This ditch will drain 120 acres
of land. Mr.. O'Neal stated
that, ''in the past | was not
able to produce a fair crop of
any kind on his 120 acres dur
ing years we nd excessive
rains, as he small bitches /
had were not capable of get
ting the water off before the
crops were drowned and dam
aged"
H. G.. Waterer of Tchula rec
emily constructed 1900 feet of
dragline ditch on his farm. The
ditch will drain 455 acres of
good land. Mr.. Waterer stated
that he had, "never been able
O produce any kind of crops
on this 455 acres during wet
years, such as we have had
during he past three years"
The water from $500 acres had
to drain through this As acres.
The small bitches, he had be-
fore, were too small to carry
the water off before 1t injured
the crops.
Mr.. Waterer stated, "that
since the ditch was put IN,
the water gets away soon after
rains, and I do not think I'll
have any more crops drowning
on this field"
. P. Sharp one of the dis
trict Commissioners has rec
entity constructed 1900 feet
of dragline ditch on his farm
at Tchula.
More han 800 acres drain
through this ditch. In the past
the ditch which was already
there was too small to carry
the water away before it dam,
aged some of the crops. With
the ditch being designed and
constructed to carry off a :
