"Various test plots on a large plantation near Rock-

close-drilled in two-foot rows, blocked hills of cotton,
and cotton in a series of rows each differing from
every other in the type of cultivation. The immediate
purpose of these unusual methods of production is to
ascertain which one of them will yield the highest
percentage of cellulose content, not in the lint alone,
but in the entire plant."

"The results of chemical, microscopical, and X-ray
studies of the fine structure of the cotton hair are
reviewed and the following mechanism of growth is sug-
gested. Three definite stages may be distinguished in
the history of growth; first, the formation of the cell
in the epidermis of the ovule; secondly, after flov/er-
ing, the outgrowth of the cuticle to form a very thin
tube several thousand times as long as the diameter,
which changes little; thirdly, the deposition of secon-
ary thickening to form a strong cell wall . "-Textile
