High-Strength
Cotton Fibers
Being Grown
NEW YORK ? A number of
new high-strength cottons is be
ing developed by breeders for
commercial use, Textile World,
McGraw-Hill publication, reports.
One of these, Hopi Acala 50,
is the first that has been produc
ed in sufficient quantity to under
go wide mill tests, the magazine
says.
Results of recent tests, made
in 18 mills and pilot plants, show
that this cotton makes less waste
In processing; produces fewer
neps. (uneven spots), and makes
stronger yarns and fabrics. Hopi
Acala cotton is derived from
crosses between the modern
Acala variety and a primitive In
dian variety called Hopi. In 1950,
the total crop consisted of some
300 bales, all of which were used
in extensive tests comparing it
with commercial cottons.
Its outstanding characteristic,
is fiber strength. Where commer
cial cottons usually range from
less than 80,000 to 90,000 pounds
per sauare inch in fiber strength,
Hopi Acala ranges from 90,000
to 100,000 pounds, the magazine
reports. It also is notably improv
ed in luster, smoothness of liber
surface, circularity of fiber cross
section and ability to clean well
in processing. Any grade of it
can be made Into relatively high
grade yarn.
Hop! Acala 50 does not yield
well enough to make it an econo
mical cotton and it has other limi
tations, but It might be used for
a number of purposes: to increase
strength of fabrics ranging from
belting to ducks and sateens; for
lustrous high-strength sewing
thread; for reducing the bulk-to
strength factor in Certain fabrics;
for high strength knitting yarn?,
and for blending with other cot
tons, asbestos, and synthetics to
increase strength, the magazine
points out.
Other trains of cotton; related
to Hopi Acala, are in advance
tests *nd, if they pass, it would
not take long to increase their
seed to commercial proportions.
These strains show definite pro
mise in small plots on experimen
tal stations, the magazine says.
country as a whole to $5,400.
Delaware led the nation In
family ownership of life Insur
ance at the start of the year, with
a figure of $8,500 per family.
Next in order were Connecticut,
with $7,700 per family and New
Jersey, with $7,400 per family.
New York was fourth with $7,100
per family.
In aggregate ownership, New
York families led with $37,610,
000,000. Pennsylvania was se
cond, Illinois third and California
fourth.
The average price received by
North Carolina hatcheries during
April for straight run heavy and
cross breed chicks was. $14.50 per
hundred, while straight run light
breeds averaged $15 per hundred.
