OF
TEST TUBE
Washington, Jan. 30 (U.R)
The agriculture department's
scientific staff today revealed
some new miracles of the test
tube, including cotton that won't
burn, medicine made from leaf
tobacco, and a shoe dressing
that prevents mildew and ath
lete's foot.
The discoveries, reported to
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
R. Wickard, are made available
to the public after they are per
fected.
Chemical Developed
Further experiments are neces
sary on a chemical which, when
added to shoe dubbing, prevents
athlete's foot and keeps shoes
from mildewing. It was devel
oped by the Bureau of Home
Economics.
Industrial chemists, In cooper
ation with the army, developed
an emulsion that makes cotton
flame-proof through at least 12
washings, does not weaken the
fiber, and increases its weather
resistance.
Heat Resistant
The department says It al
ready has a commercially prac
ticable heat-resistance varnisn,
called Allyl Starch, which has
withstood 400 degrees of heat
and can be applied to paper and
metal as well as wood. The
chemists also discovered Rutin
reined from flue-cured tobacco
is efficacious In the treatment of
high blood Dressure.
On the food fronts the depart
ment has come up with a frozen
Cruit dessert called Velva Fruit
that has the natural color and
flavor of fresh fruit ingredients
and the texture of Ice cream. It
can be made in the family ice
cream freezer or refrigerator.
