(Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) We all wear silken ties, and think or care little of the source of the ma- terial from which the tie was made. You may doubt the statement lhat the tie you are wearing caine largely from a peison gas, carbon di-cxide, a compound that is ever present in the air in which we live and breath. Silken ties should be beautiful, since such are born of a remarkable par- entage, an invisible compound for mother and a sunbeam for father. If we walk into the spruce forest where the tall trees reach toward the sky, we pause with wonderment and ask how did it all happen. We can spend an interesting moment in tracing the development of the trees. i Much. So-Called Silk Comes From Spruce Trees. The tiny seed of the spruce, nursed by mother earth and bathed in the warmth of the sun, springs to life and pushes its tiny stem and leaves out to the light and air, cut to the air that contains the carbon di-oxide from which cur tree will draw most of its substance fér growth--out to the sunlight that activates the chlor- ophyll green of the tiny leaves, set- ting to work the chain of processes: that make wood growth. Layer upon layer, the wood cells are added as the tree develops. Every new leaf ingreases the growing capacity of the little tree, doing its part in the traus- formation of the carbon di-oxidce gas te sugar starch and cellulose, the compounds in wood cell structure. Wood Cellulose Furnishes the Laas- trous Thread. Wood cellulose is the tree material used by the manufacturers of silk, the lusire silk of commerce,'to make the silken threads that we all like to tough. The lumber-jack cuts the tree, the pulp-maker by chemical pro- cesses reduces the wood to fiakey white cellulose. The next is nitration. This is done by treating the cellulose with a mixture of nitric and sul- phuric acids in solution, taking care not to overdo the digestion process, apd then thoroughly washing the Pulp free from the active acid agents. The nitrated cellulose is then mixed reducing it to the condition of viscous collodion. Next it is filtered carefully and forced #yrough minute orifices in a glass plate and on into a water bath where solidify. As the thyeads solidify such are passed on over g roller and into another bath containing a reducing agent known as ammonium sulphide. Dyed and Woven Like Silk, Passing on from this 'bath our aif fareads go over heated drums and spindles .to be dried and twisted into larger threads. To have the silken threads we must give them color, so into the dye bath they go. This done, over the drums the colored threads pass to dry, by a route that leads to the spool or spindle. Deft fingers operate the knitting or weav- ing machine, an artist's mind con- trols these human fingers, which in tien control the forces that unite the colored silken threads into articles ef wearimg apparel such as sweater coats, neekties, and stockings. Man and the Silk Worm. What is the connection between artificial silk and natural silk, It is very close; 80 very close that 'the gxpert chemist is frewsuently call- ed im to decide on samples and de- termine if the product of man's art and industry or that of the silk Man goes to the tree for his raw material, so does the silk worm. Man uses chemical agents and a ma- chine of his own invention; the silk worm can't help it since nature gave it a body structure and a digestive ayatem that would convert the green leaf of trees to silken cocoon cover- img threads. Chemically These Products Much the ~~ Bame. Chemically the product of man's en- deavor and the silk-worm's work are much the same. Few will know at first glance if your wooden stock- iBgs, wooden necktie or wooden sweater coat were made possible by the arts of a man or the green crawl- er so much loved by the people of the 4 Orient. Keep the trees growing, boys, that We may never want for silken clothes.--L. Stevenson, Director of Esatension, 0.A.C., Guelph. Heedful Minerals [In Feed.
