Brazoria Was Birthplace
Brazoria County, located on
thi Gull Coast in Central Scuth
Texas, is termed as “Birth-
place of the Texas Republic.”
It was here, in 1836, that the
first Texas Capitol was con-
structed alongside some of the
giant oak trees that abound in
West Columbia. The first
Texas Congress was held in
this building.
Back ol the capitol building
was the home of Judge G. B
McKinstry. This was- where
Stephen F. Austin lived.
Austin died in 1836, the
ami year the capitol was
built.

j sajtji “These beams are stand-
ardized in throe sizes. Fabri-
cators for these beams have
steel forms on which they can
use over and over without hax-
ing to build new forms for
each job—thus keeping their
costs down and lowering our
contract costs.”
“The Department also makes
good use of the pan girder form
in building concrete bridges.
This is a system we developed
in the late 1940’s which allows
contractors to use steel pan
forms for pouring concrete
beams without having to labri-
cate form work for each new
job.” he said.

Why not make your next
vacation a real vacation for

Run Down—To Marlin
Feeling run down? Marlin,
Texas, may be your answer.
Health-seekers or those just
wanting to feel pepped-up
Hock to Marlin in Falls County.
There they find mineral baths,
a $6,000,000 VA Hospital and
two private clinics.
This health center is well
noted for its high ratio of
doctors to patients.
Marlin’s artesian wells first
sprang forth when a driller,
hired by the town to dig a
municipal well. struck a
gusher of steaming water. This
water ran as hot a.v 147 degrees
and had a distinct taste
Though at first disgusted, the
town finally realized the im-
portance of this gusher. Marlin

Called “The Pleasure Cross-
roads of the Gulf Southwest"
it's officially named Texark-
ana, Texas.
Texarkana lies right on the
Texas-Arkansas border. But
it derives its name from three
states—TEXas, ARKansas and
BouisiANA. It might well have
added a fourth state in it name,
as it’s located just 26 miles
south of the Oklahoma border
too.
Texarkana is truly a com-
posite of four states and is the
great recreational center for
the Northeast Texas area.
San Antonio's Little City
San Antonio’s earliest resi-

Back in 1722 it housed the
soldiers attached to Mission

COLLEGE STATION—The
use of cotton in the manufac-
l tun of flexible laminated plu--
tics oilers a good possibility
for expansion of the fibers in
! dustrial market, says the U. S.
I Department of Agriculture.
In the making of plastic
laminates, cotton fabrics are in-
j corporated us a surface ma-
terial or as a textile backing
i for plastic film, sheets-, or foam.
Vinyl-coated cotton fabrics are
. widely used in furniture and
! automobile uphols-tery, and in
i wall coverings.
j Also, new types of lamintes
| with plastic foams may create
: an even larger market for cot-
ton in the clothing industry,
i says the Department.
At present, strong, rigid high
| pressure laminates are the
1 main type made with cotton,
but this use otters little prp-
i mise of expanding the demand
I for cotton. Low pressure,
! flexible laminate production
1 does not now use large amounts
| of cotton and thi. is the area
which scientists see as one of
possible expansion.
The USDAs Economic Re-
] search Service says three
I things are needed to help cot-
‘ ton increase its share *>t the
flexible laminate market First,
! cotton cloth must be free of
: field trash and excess sizing
for good lamination; cotton
must have improved finishes
such as one to increase the
| fabric's moisture resistance;
and it needs new and more ac-
ceptable cloth construction for
use in laminates
If these problems can be
solved., cotton should gain a
bigger share of the market fot

duction. •-ay. the 1'sDA.

COLI.FGK STATION — At
present the only reliable
i method of checking the quality
ol cotton on the farm or at the
ginning point is grade and
staple length.
But acoiding to Beverly G
I Ki i-ve;, cotton ginning and
mechanization specialist, Texas
AiVM University, the cotton
1 moisture meter can Ik* us<ti as
’a good indicator of quality on
reed cotton.
This device makes it possible
j to determine the proper tun -
for harvesting and the way to
conduct the ginning operation
to preserve cotton quality, the
I specialist add'. The moisture
I content of the cotton fiber
when harvested, while in slot
age prior to ginning, and dur-
1 ing ginning is1 definitely eor-
■ related with spinning quality.
The fiber strength, the length
| uniformity of the- fibers, an i
i the amount ol tangled libers or
m ps in the- cotton affect .1
I spinning -lualit.x, and the fiber
I moist. 1 0 level in turn affects
I these.
Research has shown that
1 cotton harvested at moisten*
level.- above 8 per cent is dil-
i tictilt to < 11 s for proper ginning
I and that cotton with excess
i moisture tends to deteriorate in
! storage prior to ginning, says

COLLEGE STATION—Six to
10 months of natural rice aging
can be condensed into only a
lew hours with a new process
developed by U. S Department
of Agriculture scientists. Wh.it
is even better news to net*
growers i< that the process will
cost no more than, the 1 omen-
tional method.
The aging of rice causes it to
retain more nutrients during
cooking and aged rice is less
stick; th-«:i freshly harvested
rice, says the USD A The new
process involves holding fresh
iy harvested rice in sealed con-
tainers at about 2i>0 degrees F.
tor six hours.
The “instant" aging process
grew out of basic research to
learn why the aging of rice
decidedly improves the cooking
and eating qualities of the
gram. Tin. changes are ver,\
subtle and there is no signifi-
cant difference in the chemical
composition of aged and fresh
rice, sa> s the Department,
Rice scientists believe the
changes may be caused by sub-
stances known as arnylolytic
enzymes which normally con-
vert the starch :n rice to
sugar.
