More Synthetic
Fibers Are Mode
The production of synthetic fi-:
bers, as opposed to the “natural’;
fibers—cotton, wool, mohair, silk,
and lax—is showing a big increase.
Up until around 1935, according
to the USDA Southern Regional
Research Laboratory at New Or-
leans, rayon was the only manu-
fectured fiber in commercial pro-:
duction in the United States. It
is made of cellulose. After a
couple of false starts rayon pro-
duction got under way in 1911 and
has increased so rapidly that to-1
day it runs second only to cotton1
as a textile fiber. Production is
still climbing: 482 million pounds
in 1940 to 875 million in 1946. I
Before 1940 the consumption of
synthetic fibers other than rayon |
was very small, and even in 1940 •
totaled only 4.5 million pounds; I
by 1946 the figure had increased to
53.3 million pounds and outranked
silk and flax. I
Some of the man-made fibers j
that are coming up fast in the syn-
thetic field are: j
Blass fiber: commercial produc-
tion began in 1936 but the output
was very limited during the first
three or four years.
Vinyon, a fiber made of synthe-
tic resin, first made in 1938. Pro-
duction is still small.
Nylon; commercial production be-
ban in 1939, after a short period
of experimental operations.
Aralac and saran, casein fibers,
were introduced commercially
around 1940.
And a synthetic fiber made of
soybeans is coming up.
:Vacuum Bottle
Care Explained
i
Vacuum bottles and jugs are
nice things for travelers and pic-
nickers to have these days, but
they need special care if they are
to rended the best service, Niss
Lucile King, home demonstration
agent, says.
Ordinary dish-washing will not
do for these containers because if
they are put in water, the out-
side insulation may be injured.
It is a better idea to fill the con-
tainer with warm soapy jwater
and soak for an hour or so. A
soft bottle brush may be used. Fi-
nally, rinse with clear, lukewarm
water and then with water .con-
taining a small amount of chlorine.
Turn upside down to drain, dry
and air. Scrub corks and screw
tops with soapy water, then rinse
and dry.
Here’s a warning, from Niss
King: Sudden changes of tempera-
ture may crack the glass in glass-
lined bottles. Before filling ja
bottle with hot liquid, warm it
gradually by rinsing first in luke-
warm water and then in warmer
water. / Chill gradually before
filling the vacuum with cold liquid.
Pasteurized and very cold milk
may be kept in vacuum containers,
if the bottle is well chilled. Missi
King says that cocoa or soup |
should be brought to a boil and
poured into the container while still
very Ijot. The bottle should be
heated in advance. Foods of this
type should npt be kept in a va-
cuum bottle for more than an
hour or two before using.
There are at least 1500 known
varieties of mosquitoes and there
is hardly a place on earth where
they are not found. They are com-
mon not only in the vast deserts,
where they breed and develop in
temporary pools of water, but also
in the Arctic regions, where they
breed in water from melting ice.
In ancient Egypt bridegrooms
were required to promise to sup-
ply their brides every year of their
married life with a certain amount
of honey.
fat and 27,408 pounds milk with
a test of 4 percent gives L-Jaicee
Corona Starlight top place among
Texas owned Holstein-Friesian
cows who have completed official
production records in the 3X divi-
sion of the 365 test in advanced
registry, announces the Holstein-
Friesian Association of America.
She is owned by Neale Farms,
Waco.
In adition to her outstanding pro
duction, she has also been classi-
fied “excellent” in body conforma-
tion, which is the highest score an
animal can receive in the official
classification program.
She was on pasture throughout
her lactation, reports Manager D.
1. Dudley at Neale Farms. In fact,
she didn’t spend a single night in
the barn during the production
period, he said. All feeds thats
she ate were grown on the farm
with the exception of the beet pulp,
wheat bran and cotton seed meal,
he reported.
She is the 71st registered Hol-
stein in the nation to produce more
than 1000 pounds of butterfat in a
year in the 3X milking division of
the advanced registry test and she
is the 472nd Holstein-Friesian cow
in the nation to have an official
365-day record of more than 1000
pounds of fat regardless of age or
milking classification.
