Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Foreign Crops and Markets: April 1957 Production of sisal is more widespread than that of the other hard fibers. In 1956 roughly 61 percent was produced in Africa, 31 percent in the western Hemisphere, and 8 percent in Asia. The most important sisal-producing country is British East Africa with million pounds or M6 percent of the total sisal in 1956. Pro duction is continuing on a rising trend, and is now about double the prewar average. Plantations are large and well organized, and produce a good grade of fiber. Practically all of the crop is exported. Brazil is the most important sisal producing country in the western Hemisphere. In 1956 the output was 2h2.5 million pounds or 22 percent of the world supply. The industry has developed from a negligible output in 193h-38. Much of the Brazilian sisal was used within the country during early producing years, but exports were about equal to production in 1956. Stocks in the country were reduced considerably during the year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Cotton Manmade Fiber Blends in Western Europe Classic Reprint written by Bernice M. Hornbeck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-19 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton-Manmade Fiber Blends in Western Europe There is little doubt that cotton is facing a challenge from manmade fibers1 in Western Europe and that much of this competition is in the form of blends in products for which 100-percent cotton was formerly used. Some indication of this challenge is given by the following trends. The market for cotton in Western Europe in a recent year has divided into apparel (49 percent), household fabrics (32 percent), and industrial fabrics (19 percent). For industrial fabrics, cotton's share has remained at approximately the same level between 1956 and 1967. For household goods, cotton's share fell, particularly in decorative fabrics. For apparel, there were severe losses, especially in shirts and outerwear. Unfortunately, there are few statistical data in Western Europe or elsewhere showing the quantities of blended yarns and fabrics produced. However, the information regarding the following countries indicates the growing importance of blends and is probably indicative of trends elsewhere and in Western Europe as a whole. In 1969 blended yarn constituted about 11 percent of the yarns Spun in the cotton system in the United Kingdom and in 1968 about 16 percent of the yarns turned out by cotton spinners in West Germany. Based on data for the year 1969, about 16 percent of the yarn and about 29 percent of the fabric produced in Italy was blended.

Download or read book Natural Fibers in Nonwoven Manufacture Classic Reprint written by Clarence A. Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-09-30 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Natural Fibers in Nonwoven Manufacture Use of manmade fibers has weakened the competitive position of natural fibers in conventional textile production. As a result, cotton producers have an important stake in development of new sources of demand for natural fibers. Since the introduction of nonwovens in the thirties, and especially in the postwar era, the market for bonded fiber fabrics has increased rapidly. The new processes have brought increased efficiency in fabric manufacture by eliminating expensive spinning and weaving. Development of nonwoven fabrication has Opened a new market for great quantities of raw materials. If cotton captures a significant share of this market it has a potential for large growth in future sales. Nonwoven fabric production, defined broadly for this study (see p. L), exceeded 1 billion pounds in 1967. Bonded fiber fabrics made up 9.h percent of this total; felts and punched and needled materials, percent; and padding materials, percent. During the last decade, bonded fiber fabrics generated most of the enthusiasm about the dynamic and exciting potential of the nonwoven industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton and Other Vegetable Fibres: Their Production Utilisation Among the industrial problems arising from the war, one of the most important is that of the future of our textile industries, especially in relation to the sources from which they derive their raw materials and the possibility of drawing these to a larger extent than was the case before the war from countries within the Empire. The subject is one that has engaged the close attention of the Imperial Institute for many years, during which it has investigated the possibilities of fibre production in all those British countries which seem to present chances of success. The Institute has given assistance, through experimental investigations conducted in its laboratories and through the supply of technical information, to Governments of the countries concerned, to producers overseas and to merchants and manufacturers at home. A very large amount of information has been collected on questions connected with the experimental production and value of fibres in various countries, much of which has been published in the "Bulletin of the Imperial Institute" and in special reports. In connection with cotton cultivation especially the work of the Imperial Institute has been continuous and has been conducted in intimate association with experimental cultivation overseas, and with the operations of the British Cotton Growing Association. In these subjects of cotton cultivation alone the Institute has issued a large number of special reports. The increased attention which must shortly be given to extending these sources of supply of cotton and other industrial fibres rendered it desirable that a general summary should be published of the position and prospects of the world's production and utilisation of fibres, and it has been therefore decided to issue the present volume in the Imperial Institute series of Handbooks to the Commercial Resources of the Tropics.

Book excerpt: In this book the author, an investigative journalist, traces the social history of marijuana from its origins to its emergence in the 1960s as a defining force in an ongoing culture war. He describes how the illicit marijuana subculture overcame government opposition and morphed into a multibillion-dollar industry. In 1996, Californians voted to legalize marijuana for medicinal purposes. Similar laws have followed in several other states, but not without antagonistic responses from federal, state, and local law enforcement. The author draws attention to underreported scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping the therapeutic landscape: medical researchers have developed promising treatments for cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer's, diabetes, chronic pain, and many other conditions that are beyond the reach of conventional cures. This book is an examination of the medical, recreational, scientific, and economic dimensions of the world's most controversial plant.
