In order to have the general public realize the importance of our forests and the many uses to which their products are put E. O. Siecke, state forester and chief of the Division of I'orestry of the Experiment Station, has prepared a forestry exhibit which will be shown at the Dallas Fair. One section of this exhibit is given over td articles manufactured = from | : i wood. Many different manufactur- | ers were asked to co-operate by send- ing samples, and quite a large quan- | tity of material has been received. | The exhibit is made up of these ar- | ticles, among which are: Linoleum. | which is forty to fifty per cent wood | flour; artificial silk, which is made | up entirely of spruce wood put] through different chemical processes; | weol and fibre rugs in which paper varn is used as filler; twine made | from paper, and which is used large- ly in Texas for binding wool togeth- er; cellucotton which is made from | the cellulose in wood; dynamite, | which is made from eighteen to | twenty per cent wood flour; phono- graph records, which contain from | sixty to eighty per cent wood flour; | different kinds of paper, all of which | are manufactured from wood; sam-| ples of twine and rugs made from pa- | per yard were secured from Sweden. | These samples of twine and small | rope are used in that country for | many purposes, among which are flag | pole lines, log lines, clothes lines and | different lines used on ships. Most of | the above products are made from or contain wood flour. Wood flour is| inadec chiefly from pine and spruce | wood and is made by first chipping | the wood and then grinding it be- | tween two stones forty to sixty inch- | es - in diameter, after which it is | screened to remove all splinters, etc. | Wood flour must be white, light, fluf- | fy, and absorptive. Formerly most | of the wood flour came from Norway, | Sweden and Germany, but large quan- | titiec are now manufactured in the! United States. | Another section of the exhibit is | given over to the paper industry. At the present time there is consider- | able agitation regarding the short- | age of paper pulp.

Federal and state officers of the American Red Cross held a joint con- ference with officials of the college and Extension Service in the parlors of the Y. M. C. A. yesterday morning locking to the correlation of the two phases of work being done by these agencies. President Bizzell opened the con- Terence at 9 o'clock by outlining in a general way how the Red Cross could gain in effectiveness by co-op- erating more closely with the home demonstration agents of the Exten- sion Service. He also invited them to take cognizance of the negro prob- Jem in Texas, explaining by the way, how the negro environment reflected on the habits and customs of the white citizenship. As a medium for getting into this work he suggested belp that might be found in Prairie- view State Normal. This latter suggestion was taken up with interest by the Red Cross people and they made other sugges- tions along the same line. Mrs. Par- sons, state director of the Red Cross thought that the negro girls could be taken from Prairieview and sent to the larger hospitals for training that would fit them for public health nursing in the South much better than the Northern raised and train- ed negroes. Director T. O. Walton, in a short talk told of the work being done by the Extension Service, how it oper- ated and by what means it carried cn the demonstration work in the several counties of the State. He was followed by Miss Laura F. | Neale, state home demonstration avent, who told in a more detailed way of the work beino done and planned to be done by the home dem- onstration agents. Miss M. Helen Higgins, assistant state home demonstration agent talk- ed five minutes on the work of the womens’ clubs in the state. Following the talks of the Exten- sion people the Red Cross officials explained the organization of the various bodies of the American asso- ciation and the methods of the local or decentralized agencies used to ac- complish their purpose in the differ- ent localities. They showed that while the means of teaching farmers scientific methods of agriculture was simple demonstrations of the county agents, likewise their instru- ment to teach better sanitation and healthier home life conditions was by bedside demonstrations. Through this conference the two agencies hope to understand the work of each better so that there may be closer co-operation at all times. Severa] instances where public health, nurses and home - demonstration agents had joined in promoting cer- tain plans were told in the conference bv (Continued on Page 3)
