Uses for Cotton: Selected References in the English Language, 1933-July 1940

Excerpts from the Foreword: This bibliography was undertaken in response to requests received from various organizations and individuals in both the United States and foreign countries, particularly those which are represented on the International Cotton Advisory Committee. This Committee is engaged in a survey of the work which has been done in new and extended uses of cotton throughout the world. The bibliography supplements Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 44, Uses for Cotton, which was issued in November 1932. It contains references to books, pamphlets and periodical articles in the English language relating to the use of cotton lint, published during the period 1933 to July 1940, including a few references to publications issued prior to 1933 which were not listed in Agricultural Economics Bibliography No. 44. Most of the references were taken from Cotton Literature without further examination. References to the use of the whole cotton plant, linters, cottonseed and cottonseed products have not been included, except where they appear incidentally with other material. The bibliography is classified according to specific uses, such as Aviation, Bale Coverings, Thread, and Umbrella Cloth. References to publications which relate to several uses for cotton and to research to develop new uses are listed in the General section, which precedes the sections on specific uses. An author and subject index is appended.
