We will continue our “out-of-town” deliveries to the extent of these regulations. A REMINDER THAT YOU CAN STILL BUY FURNITURE ON INSTALLMENT PLAN UNDER THE NEW FEDERAL REGULATIONS. M c Culloch'Paps’bii CoirifiJlcfe\ (J ) Texas Experiments With Cork Growth Cork oak acorns and seedlings are being planed by scientists of A. & M. as part of a long range program to test suitability of Tex as soils to this foreign tree whose shortage is causing concern in parts of the government's re-arm ament program. The A. & M. project is being con ducted in cooperation with the Uni versity of California, which furn ished the cork oak seedlings and acorns. Fifty seedlings are being planted on state forests in Newton and Cherokee counties and at the col lege, D. A. Anderson, research chief of the Texas Forest Service, said. " One hundred and fifty acorns were sown at the college by Dr. S. H. Yamell, horticulture chief, of the Texas Experiment Station. When the seedlings have sprouted they will be planted on experi ment station farms and state for ests in various sections of the state. Cork is the outer layer of bark obtained from cork oak. It is used by the army to make gaskets and washers for engines, in airplanes, motor vehicles and tanks, for cart ridge plugs and bomb parts, and for cold storage insulation. The Navy also uses it for life preserv ers and to prevent sweating in submarines. The richest and most productive cork forests are in Portugal and Spain, but the tree also grows in southern France, Italy, Sardinia, Morocco, Algiers and Tunis, all within a restricted area along the coast of the western Mediteran- ean. It is not native to the United States but has been successfully planted in California, and 248 trees from which part of the seed were gathered for the A. & M. College experiment, yielded more than 10,000 pounds of cork in 1940. Officials of the Crown Cork and Seal Company of Baltimore, Mary land, tested this yield and said it “compared favorably with good grade imported cork.” LISTEN TO WTAW :1150 KC: Thursday, June 11, 1942 11:25 a.m.—Music. 11:30 a.m.—Treasury Star Pa rade (U.S. Treasury Department). 11:45 a.m.—Brazos Valley Farm and Home Program—Is The Lady of the House In?
