"The cotton root rot disease, caused by Phymat o t r i chum
omnivorum -(Shear) Dug.gar, is one of the most serious plant-
diseases occurring in the southwestern part of the United
States. Investigations by numerous workers over the last
half century suggest that this disease-producing fungus is not
amenable to -the methods of control commonly .and successfully
applied to other plant pathogens. . . The studies here reported
constitute one phase of a general investigation of the nutri-
- tional requirements of P. omnivorum and deal primarily with the
response of the organism to a number of the trace elements,
including copper, iron, manganese, zinc, aluminum, boron,
cadmium, cobalt, fluorine, mercury, iodine, lithium, molybdenum,
nickel, and silicon. While the possibility that certain of
these elements may be highly toxic to the root rot organism is
a matter of practical interest, it is equally important to know
the contribution of each of the elements to an optimum nutrient-
solution. "

directly affected costs and returns on cotton were the return

"So far as hand-spinning is concerned, the cottage worker is
■una Die to hold his own against the mills and his remuneration is
so small that even as a spare-time occupation it is of little
material value. The position is otherwise with the hand-loom
weaving industry. The Indian hand-loom industry has shown the
most amazing vitality in face of severe competition from the mills.
In 1913-1914 60)o of the total consumption of cotton piecegoods
in India was imported, 20$ was supplied "by Indian mills and 20$
by hand-loom production. The corresponding percentages in 1935-
1937 were 13$ imported, 61$ by Indian mills and 26$ by hand-loom.
Thus the expansion of the Indian mills has been at the expense
of foreign mills and not of the indigenous hand-loom industry."

cotton into trade channels has "been retarded. (3) There is a
relatively small amount of free cotton in interior cotton

Examination of the degradation products of cellulose.
"Phys. modifications of cellulose fibers arc compared with
degradation products which are prepared by chem. decompn.. of
cellulose. Treatment of cellulose by strong acids in presence •
of EgO swells fibers .and produces a phys. modification of cellu-
lose which is much more reactive to reagents than untreated
cellulose. Treatment of cellulose by strong acids and subse-
quent drying in presence of the acid modifies cellulose chemi-
cally, forming hydro-cellulose ( I) , while oxidation by oxi-
dising agents produces oxycellulose II. The hydrolyzing .action
converts the ale. groups of cellulose into aldehyde groups
while oxidation to (il) produces COOH groups. The following
reactions con be applied to these products: Mercerized cotton
can be detected in the presence of untreated cotton by subjecting
the- sample to a soln. of I in XI in the presence of ZnCl^. Mcr-
245
oerized cotton turns .brown while untreated cotton remains
colorless. I and II reduce iPehling's solns. II gives the
' Turnbull 1 s reaction' 'when treated with 1?e salts and subse-
quently with solns. of K3Pe( C2>l) 6. The acidic groups of II
retain sufficient ?c to produce this reaction. _ ( C) "-Textile

cotton serves to disperse the seed in the wind. The lamellate
structure of cotton is shown in a photomicrograph of a fibre
swollen by cupri-ethylenediamine and it is argued that man has
so far failed to reproduce such a structure in rayon. The
