S. C. Harvesting Cotton Mechanically in the Piedmont and Coastal 



Plains Areas of South Carolina . To (1) evaluate & improve a. 

 machines & methods for preparing the cotton crop for mechanized 

 harvest, & b. machines & methods for mechanical harvesting, (2) 

 evaluate mechanical harvester performance in relation to plant 

 characteristics, & (3) investigate possibilities of removing 

 the cotton from the plant by principles other than the conven- 

 tional ones now being used*

S. C. Handling Seed Cotton from the Plant to the Gin in the 



Piedmont and Coastal Areas of South Carolina . (1) Evaluate, 

 modify, & improve present methods & equipment used in handling 

 seed cotton from picking to ginning. (2; Design & develop 

 new equipment & methods for handling cotton from time of pick- 

 ing to ginning. (3) Evaluate & improve methods of handling 

 seed cotton for maximum preservation of inherent qualities of 

 lint & seed from time of picking to ginning.

S. C. A Study of the Nutritive Factors of Cottonseed Meal and 



Cottonseed By-Products in Poultry Rations . To learn effects 

 of protein levels, animal protein sources, & amino acid supple- 

 mentation & energy levels in rations having cottonseed meal; 

 &. effects of cottonseed by-products (oil & fatty acids) in 

 poultry rations.

Term. The Inter-Relation of Certain Fundamental Properties of 



Cotton Fibers and Fabric Characteristics . (1) Analyse internal 

 surface area of cotton fibers. (2) Study relation of this pro- 

 perty to other fundamental properties of cotton fibers & effect 

 of properties on fabric characteristics, as those related to 

 crease resistance. 



Home Econ. 113 Coop. ARS 



Tenn. Theory of Textile Fabrics . To develop physical theories 



of yarn, cord & fabric structures that will reveal the functional 

 relations of the physical properties of these structures to the 

 physical properties of the constituent fiber & to the method of 

 fabrication.

Tenn. Rapid Methods for Measuring Lengths and Other Properties 



of Cotton Fibers . To determine (1) the adaptation of the photo- 

 electric cell to the measurement of the length of lint in ginned 

 cotton; (2) the value of the clamped- silver-weight method for 

 determining the final length statistic; & (3) to develop a 

 rapid method of measuring fineness.
