Cotton Fabrics
College Station Texas cot-
ton producers and consumers
should be interested in a recent
U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture announcement dealing with
the development of a practical
method for producing cotton
fabric With outstanding rot re-
sistance and improved weather
resistance.
Because of its improved pro-
perties cotton fabric treated
with the chemical promises to
open new markets for cotton in
awnings tents tarpaulins and
other outdoor fabric items.
The treatment method dev-
eloped by the USDA's Agricul-
tural Research Service is based
on the use of a water soluble
acid colloid of methylolmela-
mine. This chemical is well
known for its resin-forming
qualities. The resin which pen-
etrates the outer portion of the
fiber cell wall to become a part
of the fiber rather than just a
coating makes cotton virtually
immune to rot and mildew as
demonstrated by soil burial
tests in the laboratory.
Untreated cotton buried in
soils containing fabric-destroying
bacteria was in shreds after
one week. The treated cotton
on the other hand still retained
100 per cent of its breaking
strength after 21 weeks.
Research by the ARS South-
ern Utilization Research and
Development Division at New
'Orleans has shown that the
chemical can also be used in
conjunction with certain fabric-
coloring pigments to increase
cotton's resistance to deterior-
ation by sunshine. The treat-
ment can also be applied suc-
cessfully to many dyed fabrics.
And of major importance
said the announcement cost of
the treatment is expected to be
i datively low and it can be ap-
plied with conventional textile
finishing equipment.
Mrs. Jim Seale of Austin was
here this week.

"Slow Down And
Live" Campaign
Set For Summer
Austin More than 4-million
Texas motorists will be asked to
"Slow Down and Live" this
summer and those who persist-
ently ignore the request will
find that in many areas step-
ped up law enforcement pro-
grams will forcibly remind them
of it.
This summer will mark the
eighth annual "Slow Down and
Live" campaign created by the
Association of State and Pro-
vincial Safety Coordinators and
conducted throughout the U. S.
Canada and Puerto Rico. The
Texas phase of the program will
be coordinated by the Texas
Safety Association.
Highway speed is the target
of the program which will be-
gin on Memorial Day and con-
tinue through Labor Day.
"By speed we don't mean just
that speed above the legal lim-
its although that is a big part
of the picture" explained J. 0.
Musick Austin TSA's general
manager.
"The program hits at all dan-
gerous or excessive speed. A
motorist can be driving within
legal limits and still be driving
too fast for traffic conditions.
For example: 40 m.p.h. in a 60
m.p.h. zone can be considered
too fast in some instances say
during a heavy rain storm or
near the scene of an accident.
This is only one of many pos-
sible instances in which a driv-
er might be driving at a legal
rate but driving excessively
fast" Musick said.
Musick pointed out that the
only person who has the answer
to the Fjyed problem is the indi-
vidual driver himself.
"Through TSA facilities
numerous government agencies
local law enforcement many
Texas businesses and local saf-
ety councils this program will
attempt to constantly remind
the individual of his responsib-
ility in the Slow Down and Live
campaign" he said.
