PRESIDENT THE EVENING COTTON IS SOWN LIKE GRASS UPON EXPERIMENTAL FARM Mowed Like Hay. and Stalk and Leaves Are Converted Into Cellulose; Big Market for Product Seen. BY HOWARD W. BLAKESLEE, Associated Press Science Editor. CHAPEL HILL, N. C., January 28— | Cotton is sown broadcast like grass and mown like hay in an unusual 10-acre fleld conducted by the University of North Carolina chemistry department. An entirely new kind of cotton crop is raised. There is no picking of cotton, no spinning. Instead, both cotton and its stalk and leaves are converted into cellulose, the raw substance from which | artificia]l silk, paper, explosives and | hundreds of other industrial products| are manufactured. ‘This, says Dr. Frank K. Cameron, professor of chemistry, is the future big | market for cotton, Already the Caro- lina experiments indicate a possibility | for making more money out of cotton at present prices by raising it as cellu- | lose instead of as cotton. Results Made Public. ‘The results of three years of this new | farming conducted by Nicholas W. Dockery, assistant to Dr. Cameron, on | the Dockery plantation, at Rockingham, N. C., were made public yesterday. The cotton boll is 90 per cent pure | cellulose. The cotton plant is 40 per ages-old methods of cotton farming. When cotton is raised for cellulose, | instesd of belng planted in wide rows | and cultivated, it is sown broadcast, or | in_very close rows. | Nothing more need be done, the re- | port states, until the plant matures Then it is mowed with an ordinary | machine, raked up, baled with a hay | baler and is ready to be crushed into | pulp for cellulose. Even the storag problem is simplified, says the report. One bale was left on a platform all Winter in rain and snow, without ap- preciably impairing its cellulose value. More Due Next Year. Last year Mr. Dockery obtained 1,800 pounds of mixed stalk and lint from one acre; this year 3,000 pounds ave- rage from 10 acres. Next year he ex- pects to grow 5,000 pounds an acre. At this rate he estimates probable cost at $25 an acre, 2 cents a pound. | The average cost of producing cotton | now is given at Nojth Carolina as about 5 cents a pound. | “There are a number of distinct ad- | vantages,” Dr. Cameron said. “The boll weevil will be deprived of his havoc | Your making powers. Cotton from infested areas is as good as any for making cellulose. ‘There is a possibility that in time the weevil will be eradicated, since there will be no stalks left in the field for his hibernation while awaiting the next crop. . Whether He will be able to survive the Winter on other vegetation has not yet been de- termined. “There is a reasonable prospect that this combination cotton crop not only can be produced more cheaply, but will rovide for greater range of uses highly commercial enterprise may be developed and go far toward solving problems of the cotton industry. A great deal depends upon certain manu- facturers with whom we have kept in close contact.” In the university laboratories X-ray and other tests are under way to de- | termine the adaptability of cotton cel- lulose to compete with other sources. One_unsolved problem is a_commercial method of removing the valuable cotton seed.
