Tex. The Development and Improvement of Machines and Methods 



Used in the Mechanization of Cotton Production t Harvesting 

 and Processing in Texas . To design & improve machines & de- 

 velop methods which will reduce manpower needs to a minimum 

 & increase output per laborer to a maximum with respect to the 

 growing of cotton by the evaluation & improvement of machines 

 & methods.

Tex. Storage of Cotton Seed for Planting Purposes . To (1) 



determine effectiveness of different methods of aeration with 

 forced air in maintaining high germination & in preventing 

 increase in fat acidity value of cotton planting seed stored 

 in large tanks; & (2) study air distribution systems & equip- 

 ment & determine their effectiveness in cooling cotton plant- 

 ing seed when stored in large quantities.

Tex. The Relationship Between Cotton Fiber Properties and Fabric 



Quality . To (1) learn selected fiber properties of each of 4 

 cottons to be service tested, (2) learn physical properties of 

 fabrics made from each of 4 cottons, (3) ascertain relationship 

 among various fiber & fabric properties for 4 cottons, (4) corre- 

 late data from fiber & fabric properties with results of end-use 

 portion of study.
