Testing Facilities
Can Determine
Qualities of Cotton
Fiber quality and spinning per-
formance of samples of raw cotton
can now be determined precisely
as a result of the development
through research of suitable equip,
ment and techniques for testing.
Tests or measurements can be made
of such physical properties of cot-
ton fibers as tensile strength, fiber
length, length variability, fineness
and maturity. Tests are made on
commercial textile machinery to
determine manufacturing waste,
yarn strength, yarn appearance, J
and general processing perform-,
ance.
Testing facilities are provided at
USDA laboratories at Washington,
D. C., and Stoneville, Miss., where
the are equipped for fiber testing
only, an.d at Clemson, S. C., and
College Station, Texas, which are
equipped for both fiber and spin-
ning testing. The Clemson labor-
atory is operated cooperatively by
the Department and the Clemson
Agricultural College, and the Col-
lege Station laboratory is operated
cooperatively by the Department
and the Texas Agricultural Experi-
ment Station, under the direction
of Joseph T. Rouse, USDA asso.
date cotton technologist.
These tests, which have now be-
come routine, are very and var.
iously useful. Cotton breeders use
them extensively as a basis for de-
veloping improved cotton varieties
for planting in standardized pro-
duction areas and communities.
Cotton manufacturer® and mer-
chants use them in selecting the
cotton best suited for specific uses.
Research workers use them for de-
termining the effects upon cot-
Social Security
Field Man In City
Next Wednesday
Ralph T. Fisher, manager of the
Social Security Board Field Offioe
in Abilene will be at the Public
Welfare Office in Coleman next
Wednesday, April 24, at 1 p m.
Mr. Fisher will be in Coleman
for the purpose of assisting eligible
persons with their retirement or
death claims under the Social Se- j ton quanty and different’ cultural
and for the puipose of j production practices and of differ-
curity Act
furnishing
information on social',
laboratory facilities fur special iesUs
on cottons for interested parties,
especially breeders, on a fee basis
in addition to the regular programs
already underway. Since that time,
tests have been received from all
branches of the cotton undustry
under the provision of this act.
Three types of testing vrefe con-
ducted during the 1945 fiscal year
which ended June 30, 1945. First,
there was service testing for the
public under the Cotton Service
Testing Act of 1941. Second, there
was testing in connection with re.
search program conducted in co-
operation with other Federal and
State research agencies. Third,
there was testing in connection
with standardization and research
projects within the USDA, includ-
ing the development of improved
equipment and technique for test-
ing.
The volume of this work more
than doubled during the fi.Ccal year.
The number of service tests in-
creased from 7.451 in 1941 to 11,696
in 1945, cooperative research tests
increased from 6,297 to 9.182, and
standardization and research tests
increased from 2,565 to 12,252, a
total increase of from 16,253 to 33,-
130. Present indications reveal that
the volume of work for 1946 will
exceed the 1945 figure.
