Die colored fiber is of great importance for the textile industry, making tt possible to cut on dyes* lighten the labor involved in treating the fabrics, increase the strength and durability of the yarn and manufacture cloth with improved, resistance to fading. Propagation of colored cotton was commence^ in 1996 by selectionists B. Strauman, I. Maximenko and K. Tsinda, working in Turkmenia and Kirghizia. By means of interspecies crossing these scientists succeeded in growing a cotton plant with green staples. Subsequently, by further crossing of different species and varieties, Strauman propagated a cotton plant with brown staples. This plant had light-brown staples retaining their color through subsequent generations, and was resistant to the disease known as wilt. In the beginning the brownstapled cotton had short fibers and small bolls. By* means1 of further cross-breeding and individual selection varieties with light-brown and dark-brown staples were grown, closely approaching the best varieties of cotton plants in their taefenical properties. - 5$ ttua • Jl c ttaos to industry.

The historical background of "Old Christmas" is uncertain. It may be a throwback to the Gregorian calendar or It may have started as a celebration or the Twelfth Night-- when the wise man came to Bethlehem bearing gifts for the Christ child--that somehow got off schedule a day. Elsewhere the Twelfth Night is celebrated on January 6. But those celebrations are far different from Rodanthe's "Old Christmas," which only in recent years has been supplemented by the observance of December 25. Abbreviation,. Xmas Of Greek Origin There has been much unfavorable comment on the abbreviated form for Christmas that is commonly used. Many think it inappropriate §md undignified fb use the shortened form, Xmas. The explanation of its origin is that the initial letter of the Greek name for Christ is X and the coincidence of its cruiciform shape led to an early adoption of this letter as the figure aad symbol of Christ. X is frequeotiy food on walls of the catacombs. Whaa the early Christians wished to make a representation of the Trinity, they would plMa either a cross or an X beside the names of the Father and the Holy GhasL From this came the shortened form Xmas, instead of Christ- Oiks. - / / f ma.', The poinaettia has no Christmas legend aad Iter adoption as a symbol or decoration for- Christmas Is of recent origin.
