FORESTRY EXHIBIT FOR
STATE FAIR OF TEXAS
E. O. SIECKE HAS PREPARED AN
INTERESTING DISPLAY TO
APPEAR AT DALLAS.
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. Tt was thought |
that the process of making paper |
would therefore be of interest to the |
public, and samples have been secur- |

RED GROSS OFFICIALS
HOLD CONFERENCE HERE
PLANS DISCUSSED FOR CLOSER
CO-OPERATION WITH EX-
TENSION SERVICE.
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
