BROAD ST. EDENTON BC/BS COSTWISE DOCTOR MOST OTHER INS ACCEPTED Experimental Fabrics May Change Clothing's Future 1 By DON COM18 Imagine a sock or glove that generates heat when It’s cold, warming your fingers likea little stove. Or draperies that warm up when cold drafts hit them. Experimental cotton fabrics with built-in thermostats already have been developed at a U.S. Department of Agriculture lab in New Orleans. Tyrone Vigo, a chemist with the Agricultural Research Service’s Southern Research Lab, has named his creation “Polytherm.” Key to the invention is a group of inexpensive chemicals called polyethylene glycols, long used by motorists for anitfreeze. Vigo found a way to attach antifreeze molecules to most types of fibers, including wool, cotton, cotton blends, fiberglas, and acrylics. The process is similar to that used to make permanent press fabrics. Recently, Vigo and his col leagues made up some demonstration cotton tee shirts out of Polytherm, and they really work! When air temperatures reach about 75'F, the treated fabric counteracts the increase in Evcryb<xiy’s Science the mercury by absorbing body heat, providing a cooling effect. Conversely, when the temperature dip6 below 40*F, the same fabric liberates heat to the body. Vigo says the tee shirts do this through the reversible melting and hardening of the antifreeze crystals. How much energy a treated fabric mil store and release depends on the kind of fiber, and the kind and amount of chemical applied. When the chemist first came up with his invention, it had a serious shortcoming. It wouldn’t stand up under washing or prolonged ex posure to rain. But now Vigo has made his treatment more durable, and his experimental fabrics will retain their thermal properties for up to 10 home launderings. They also resist shrinkage. Soil Mapping Continues RALEIGH—State and federal soil survey crews are fanning out across North Carolina to prepare soil maps so fanners can meet the deadline of the federal 1965 Food Security Act. David W. Sides, director of the Division of Soil and Water Con servation in the Department of Natural Resources and Communi ty Development (NRCD), reported on the survey program at a recent meeting of the state Soil and Water Conservation Com mission in Washington, N.C. Sides explained that farmers and landowners have until 1990 to comply with the conservation pro visions of the Food Security Act of 1985 also known as the 1985 Farm Bill. Soil maps are needed, however, before farmers can develop conservation plans. Soil mapping has been com pleted for most of the cropland in the state, but about 1.45 million acres in 35 counties remain to be mapped. Cropland affected by the FarnfBiffinclftaes highly erodible soils and wetlands converted for cropland use after December 23, 1985. The highly erodible land in these counties will be determined from these maps. With 35 counties unmapped and 14 needing updated maps, the federal Soil Conservation Service (SCS) and NRCD has agreed to shift mapping priorities. Instead of completely mapping one coun ty, crews will map all the crop land affected by the Farm Bill and then return to their original soil mapping priorities. Farmers who own land in un mapped counties are given a two year extension to comply with the provisions after the soil maps have been completed. In other action, the Commission agreed to support the completion of small watershed projects Thanks Ar» r" The family of the late Charley Arthur White would like to thank each and every one for all they did to help comfort us during the death of our loved one. Maybe you sent flowers, cards, money, food or the use of your cars. Whatever it was, we thank you and may God bless each of you in a very special way.

In supporting the rules of the Agriculture Cost-Share Program, the Commission denied two re quests for exceptions: • Pender Soil and Water Conser vation District had asked the Commission to approve cost share funds for land application of poultry litter from neighboring counties; • Chowan Soil and Water Con servation District had asked to allow reseeding of an access area needed for land application of animal wastes on woodland. The Commission reviews grant applications for small watershed projects and for cost-share funds.
