JNot supplying
Texas Markets
!
Surveys show that Texans
are consuming many prod
ucts manufactured elsewhere
which might well be fabricate
ed within the state, and A&M
has set out to determine what
some of these products are.
The college, under the direction
of Dean Howard Barlow, has
launched a state-wide products,
expansion survey ih cooperation;
with purchasing agtents groups,
chambers of commerce, and other
agencies.
“Wk want to get the facts about
these products which are not now!
manufactured here, but which Tex-;
as is consuming in such volume
as to justify their production with
in the state,” Barlow said.
He called attention to tjhe fact
that many of these products are
shipped long distances to Texas
and at high transportation costs
which Texas consumers mijist pay.
The facts to be determined byj
the Isurvey will be made publip
so that manufacturers will know
what products could profitably be
added to their present production
programs, and Texas capital will
have a market demand giuide to
new industrial oonortunitijes.
It is easy enough for any newsj
paper to acquire copyrighted cat
toons fron a syndicated feature
agency, bi t all top rarely is it abk
to acquirt the services of a man
like Kenneth J.\ Marak," 1 Battalion
cartoonist and belly-laugh spec

Marak makes it a policy to j
give all new cartoons a ^dry i

turning them in to the editors, i
This practice eliminates diScour- |

Cottonseed Hulls
Seen as Possible
1 \ •
Insulating Staple
Cottonseed hulls may have an
■industrial value as insulating ma
terial in refrigeration, judging by
the results of experiments here.
J The Cottonseed Products Re
search Laboratory on the campus,
the only one of its kind in the
(world, is constantly seeking new
uses for cottonseed productions.
.One of the research projects cat
Vied out this year indicated that
^cottonseed hulls are effective when
used as loose fill for medium low
temperature refrigeration.
Another project which received
much attention within the industry
this year centered about the re
moval of the chemical “gossypol"
from cottonseed meal by a new
tnethod of extraction of oil. Cot
tonseed meal so prepared was fed
to hogs, who flourished on the
diet. Ordinarily cottonseed meal is
dangerous to hogs, though good
for certain- other stock animals.
, The Cottonseed Laboratory is a
division of the Texas Engineering
Experiment Station, and operates
in Cooperation with the Texas Cot
tonseed Crushers Association and
the Cotton Research Committee of
Texas. A. Cecil Wamble, an A&M
graduate, is director of the labora
tory.
