Paris, Dec. 28. — A cotton substitute ;
that can be grown iu Iceland, and sold
for forty dollars per ton at a profit,
and crops that can be determined in
advance to within a few pounds, with
no boll weevil, is the promise held out
to the cotton growing world by Dr. C.
J. Hedley-Thornton, the “British Lu-
ther Burbank”. Dr. Hedley-Thornton
has produced a fibre now known as ar-
tificial cotton, for which he claims
equality to cotton and, in many re-
spects, superiority.
Dr. Hedley-Thornton, now in Paris
en route to Egypt to confer with lead-
ing cotton growers, has told Interna-
tional News Service the history at trie
discovery, hitherto shrouded in a veil
of mystery that even British Parlia-
ment investigations had been unable
to rip apart.
Watch Humming Bird
••Wjijle prospecting in British Guiana
nine years ago, I noted a humming
bird nest which seemed to be made out
of cotton of the roughest sort. As-
tonished, I decided to find out how. the
bird msule his nest. I found that he
used tlie iwimm! from-a form of the
bast, family. By treating this weed
with the water in a nearby pool, he
obtaiuHl the cotton like material.
•’Our experiments which hrfve been
conducted for nine years, are only an
improvement on tlie humming bird
method.- Today, we have passed the
exiperimental stage, and the Arti-
ficial Cotton Corporation is ready to
do business.”
Dr. Hedley-Thornton
some technical details on
cotton.
•With this fibre we obtain 890
pounds of cotton from one acre. A
cotton grower may get from 380 to 400
pounds if he is lucky. The second
year, due to multiplication of roots,
we triple the harvest.
Roots Are Treated <
“The roots are chemically treated
before they are planted, ten feet a^art.
Four months after planting we are
ready for the harvest. In climates al-
ready favorable to cotton growing we
can get two crops per year. In colder
countries we do not expect more than
one crop per year, or possibly
three crops in two years.
“Unlike the cotton plant, the weed
thrives in any kind of climate and
