Cotton Cord Tires

Automobile tires that are cotton
ran 70,000 mile* at high speed and
greatly improved trade tires have

The improved cotton cord used in
risking these tires gave outstanding
performance «n^ was much better
than standard cord. The first of the
experimental tires were made with
00 percent synthetic rubber and 10
percent natural niftier.
Director I. 0. Schaub says he ex
pects an improvement m cotton pro
duction in North Carolina in 1946.
Be urges farmers to follow the sev
sn-point cotton program next year,
produce cotton of better grade and
tcality, and reduce production costs.
Am to present prospective supplies,
experts predict a sharp decline in
.arry-over in IMS and a substantial
increase in cotton consumption in
foreign countries. Some reduction of
wortf carry-over la likely by August
1, 1946.
The competition between cotton
kfld rayon continues to be keen. Say
t>n cord gave slightly batter perfarm
race than the Improved cotton cord
In the tires, bd> this was attributed
maialy to a difference in the type
of con! construction used, as no fa
bric failures occurred in any of the

cord, U. S. reports say.
