Average Cow Production Tops 6,000 Pounds Milk production cow in 1956 averaged 6,000 pounds for the first time on record, accord ing ito the March 29 Dairy Situa tion report. It also says that production per cow in the U. S. has increased 20 per cent in the last decade and will probably increase at least that much over the next 10 years. Average production exceeded 5,000 pounds for the first time in 1947. In 1947, the range in level of production per cow was 2,390 pounds in Lousiana to 7,250 pounds in California. In 1956, Lousiana still had the lowest average 2,800 pounds, and California still had the high est 8,600 pounds. For all the states, the range in percentage of increase was from five per cent in Alabama and Oregon to 37 per cent in Florida, although Ohio and Indiana were close runners up with a 35 per cent increase. Division at New Orleans, La., to increase consumption of cotton through improved processing methods and development of cot ton fabrics with special proper ties for specific uses. Today’s cottons with wrinkle resistant finishes are well suited for simple garments but are not fully satisfactory for tailored ones. The finishes are always ap plied to the cottons as piece goods before -they are made up into clothing. The treated fabrics resist both undesirable wrinkles and desirable pressed-in creases, making it difficult or impossible to crease or pleat the garment or to sew-flat seams or pockets on them. The treatment now under de velopment, which involves appli cation of a resin finish to cottons, gives them crease-holding as well as wrinkle-resistant properties. The resin formulation used is a combination of a reactive-type resin (dimethylol cyclic ethylene urea) and acrylate thermoplast, two catalysts, a silicone emulsion, a softening agent, and water. The finish is not applied until after the garments to be treated have been made. Thus seams and pockets can be ironed flat, and pleats and creases can be per manently set where they are needed. This resin treatment, which USDA researchers hope will prove practical for commercial application, has already been tested experimentally at the De partment’s New Orleau labora tory, The garment to be treated is firgt wet with a solution of the resin and other chemicals, and is then partially dried. The final step is curing, or setting the gab nc into permanent creases or pleats with a hot flatiron. Once curing is complete, further press ings wifi not set new pleats or re move the old ones. In the laboratory tests, swatch samples of cotton were treated and cured with ironed-in creases. They were then machine washed, rinsed, and ironed flat. No effort was made to preserve the creases, yet after 12 launderings they re mained crisp and sharp. The resin treatment was effec tive on several types and weights o£ cotton fabric, from delicate lawn to sturdy twill. Women’s blouses and men’s sports shirts and slacks retained creases after many launderings, needed little or no ironing, -and were wrinkle resistant during wearing. Treated garments were also found cooler and more comfortable to wear, because they needed no starch. Although the new process looks very promising, further research is needed before it will be ready for commercial use. Under the contract with the National Dry cleaning Institute, the Depart ment hopes to perfect the method using commercial drycleaning equipment to apply the resin and cure the finish. In the future, dry cleaners may be able to add per manent creases and wrinkle-resis tance to cotton garments as easi ly as they now add water-repel lance to raincoats. Lancaster Farming.
