B^1 1 -1" 1 ' I'-inwiCTwag???ifa To Build Fifty Miles Cotton Road in S. C. Three States?New Jersey, North < arnlimi and South Carolina will apply Immediately to the United States' Bureau of Roads for allotments of cotton fabric membrane to bo used in the construction of 140 miles of cotton reenforued bituminous surfaced roads this spring, it is announced by the Cotton-Textile Institute" At least, a dozen other states, in* eluding several In New England, are expected, according to the Institute to prepare similar applications to share In the $1,300,000 recently set uslde by the Department of Agriculture for a nation-wide demonstration of the* practicability of cotton fabric in highway construction. The Bureau of l'ublc Roads, in a master-demonstration project, cooperating with the highway departments of several southeastern states, will supervise the building and maintenance of at least fifty miles of bituminous surfaced roads in those states, utilizing the,, reenforcing cotton fabric in various types of lowcost road surfacing. The fabric, a bond between the road buse and top surface, minimizes or prevents the upthrust of the buse, thus protecting against surface cracks and other faults. During the year, if is expected, at least 1.000 miles of cotton reenforced roads will have been built throughout the country under the Department of Agriculture's program which makes sufficient quantities of fabric available for extensive service demonstrations in every state in the Union. The fabric to be supplied by the government to state highway departments without cost may be allocated to state-supervised county highway projects, the principal requirement being that the cotton roads shall be built adjoining unreenforced sections of similar soil and drainage character in order to insure accurate comparative checks. The 140 miles of reenforced roads to be built In New Jersey and the two Curolinas 50 miles each in New Jersey and South Carolina and 40 miles In North Carolina?will absorb nearly 1,650.000 square yards of cotton fabric, 74 and 82 Inches wide, indicating the possibilities of low-cost highway constructon as an importantnew outlet for cotton. 1 he New Jersey announcement of plans for large-scale cotton road construction was not unexpected in the light of that state's experience with an experimental construction which, completed near Cranbury, Middlesex County in 1934, has attracted wide interest among highway engineers. 1 oiuting out that the cotton road had undergone its second unusually severe winter, E. E. Reed, Supervisor of State Projects for the New Jersey state highway department, reported, after an inspection on March 13: tbe cotton treated section was in better condition than the nontreated section. East year this entire road, including both sections, was given a surface treatment of bituminous material and stone chips. The frost has been coming out of the ground during the past week or two after the unusually severe winter that we have just had. The non-treated section has broken In spots and the surface has raveled but the cotton treated section has remained intact." South Carolina, one of the several states which has cooperated with the Cotton Textile Institute for nearly ten years to perfect fabrics and construction techniques, actually pioneered with the first cotton road in 1926. >'ncc 192?; similar projects in South t urolina and several other states, in| eluding New Jersey, Georgia, Missis, siPPi and Texas, have furnished the convincing proof of the engine, ring soundness and maintenance economy ?t the cotton road principle that prompted the Department of Agriculture to undertake its nation wide program.

Division of soil building payments will be made to the producer who has incurred the expense in 1936. A standing rent or caBh rent tenent will make the application for the grant. In order to receive soil conserving payments the producer will have to plant a minimum of 20 per cent of his soil depleting c^ops to sail conserving crops.
