Wool Puts Waves Into Hair

The store, of bow an eroded,
tire-devastated, and near worth-
less 1,000-aere Australian farm '
was made to blossom again in-
troduces to the farmers of the
world Australia's "Keyline
story,'
The. Keyline story began in
1944, when .Percival A, Yeomans,
and his wife Rita walked over
their fire-blackened acres seek-
ing the solution to a formidable
problem. Their new house was
partly burnt, the fences were
gone, And the stock had disap-
peared, driven before the thrust
of the great bushfire. The land
itself stood valued at about 24
cents an acre. 8 *
As Rita Yeomans has told in
the foreword to her husband's
widely acclaimed book, "The
ICeyline Plan," which 'has cap-
tured the interest of thousands.
of Australian farmers, Mr. Yeo-
mans was a man who had made
a long and intensive study of
land problems fronl a profes-
sional engineering background.
"Nevailan," the run-down,
burnt-out farm,, was really a
sideline to a busy life filled with
larger professional and buSiness
interests. But the "sideline"
turned into "Keyline" and sky-
rocketed this Australian engi-
neer l to the forefront among re-
search scientists in agricultural
and soil management techniques.
It; is doubtful whether the
Yeomans -realized: that in their
deCision to rebuild "Nevallan,"
they would evolve one of the
turning points in Australian
agriculture and perhaps, as time
may yet show, in world agricul-
ture.

As Mrs. Yeomans tells it, her '
husband began* Marshaling his
ideas, tramping across .Nevallen
in the middle of the night dur-•
ing heavy rain, observing the ef-
fect of the rain on the soil, ex-
perimenting here, experimenting
there, oblivious to all else, visu-
alizing long-term effects and
making notes on short-term ones
observed. *
It cost money and took much
time but he:persisted..in face ,of
pessipistic opinions, firm in his
' own view 'that this;.tYllq
steep country was a worthwhile
proposition ,and that a payable
solution to its problems was

The wide acceptance of Key.,-
line farming is its own proof
that what Percival Yeomans
found was not only to his own
profit, but, also a system that all
farmers everywhere could un-
derstand and use. Moreover, this,
plan preyed to be cheap and
simple to operate, and could be
brought to production in a com-
paratively short time, yielding
results in a season or two.
Soil fertility and water distri-
bution are the basis for Keyline
farming, Many types of fertile
soil are more naturally resistant
than worn, leached soils to ero-
sion. Fertile soils tend to stay
put except in extreme topogra-
phical 'conditions. It is only
when their level of fertility has
been drastically 'reduced that
they begin to move, * av
Keyline farming greatly ac-
celerates those processes which
occur naturally in the building
of fertile soils. It is therefore
essentially a soil 'building tech-
nique which aims broadly to
do two things: (1) conserve
rainfall right where, it falls; (2)
release the vast store of, fertility
building materials which exist
below the top three inches or
so of soil on which farmers gen-
erally depend for results,
4, 4. K.
On this vital aspect, Mr. Yeo-
mans has said: "There is little
evidence anywhere in nature to
support the 'take and put' theory
of farming, where farmers are
taught to 'put back into the- soil
each year what they 'take out'
in crops.
"So much of what is taken out
is composed of materials that
are available in unlimited sup-
ply from.the sun, air, and moi-
sture— moisture' alone requiring
conservation — that if farmers
cease to 'mine' the top inches
of soil' and farm the land, little
if anything else need be put
back.
"Fertilizers should be used'
when they are necessary, but •
they are 'rarely the 'first' need. .
This is true of most of our farm=
ing and grazing lands.
"Corrective cultivation is a
means 'of progressively improv-
ing soil structure and soil fertili-
ty, thereby developing a greater
depth of fertile soil. Better crop
production is incidental to the
process."
* 4.
Iii Keyline farming, Mr. Yeo-
mans discovered the basic im-
portance to the entire, farm of
finding and working frOm the
Keyline, which practieally every
farm possesses.
'This Keyline is the line drawn
through the farm, sometimes` by
the planting of a belt of trees,
which marks the division where
the higher land begins to give
way to the lower as, for: ex-
ample, across a valley.
* 4'
Tillage is parallel tar this Key-
line in fairly tight 'rows beloikr
it until the boundary is reached.
It is also parallel above it but
riot so loosely spaced because of
the progressively steeper nature-
of the land. .•
When rain falls on a valley, it
'naturally concentrates in the
floor throughout the entire
length to form a stream. Key-
line cultivation puts a barrier
across this line of concentration.
It drifts the water away from
its center of gravity on the val-
Is your hair naturally curly?
If so, then you are the envy of
many • women. On the other
hand, perhaps You are one of the
'millions who derive their hair
curl by artificial means. ,
Whatever your lot, most wo-
men seem to believe that curled
or waved hair is more becom-
ing, even though nature might
have deemed otherwise. And, of
course, hair which has some curl
in it offers so much more scope
for ringing the changes with re-
gard to styles.'
Women nowadays are perhaps
hair-conscious as never before.
Doubtless this is influnced 'by
the fact that waves and curls
- can be induced into hair by arti-
ficial means; and cheaply, too,
since in its latest machineless
form, a permanent wave can be
applied at the cost of only a few
shillings.

to the cold or inachineless

For.this admirable aid to gla-

that' research on the structure of
wool fibres led 'to the invention
Of cold peinianent waving.' This,
by the way, came •acdidentally
after seine thirty, years of -Scien-
tific study on various aspects of
• wool.

But how does the cold "perm"

In wool this is'an'a.siet, for it
means that articles Of woel'eloth-
nig will -retain their shape and
the pile of wool carpeting will
spring back after being crushed
by feet or furniture. Yet when,'
it comes to curling hair, it is a
disadvantage.
It is quite easy ,• to twist -a
strand of hair round, ybur ringer
because of the chair-like struc-
ture of the fibres. But when you
release it, the fibre springs back
to its original position. This is
due to the resilience of the inter-
linked chains. In short, when
the hair fibre is curled, the
"springs" bend and stretch to
accommodate to the new posi-
tion. .At the same, time, strains
are set up within ,the fibre and
the chains try to slip past each
other. The bridges, howeve,r,
'stop the chains from sliding.
To enable Wool or hair to ,be-
come permanently curled, 'there-
fore,' it is necessary, to break
down the bridge, strUctnres and
allow the chains of steins' to-slip
past each other; this permits: the
Molecules to rearrange them-
selves .with the fibre in its new.
curled 'form.
Working on weed, scientists
found that by' certain, chemical
action they :eatild Modify or re=
move these bridges. This was
done snot for the sake bf, 'perma'-
nent waving but to explain the
basic properties of, wool' fibre or
to try. arid produce ;,wool with
modified 'properties for special
purposes; also because wool is
"set" in, the finishing, of cloth,
just as „hair is set by the, coif-
feuse.
Scientists proved that a fibre
with some of its inter-Chain
bridges brakeii could 'be • bent
"and Stretched much more easily
' than an untreated fibre. While
this process yielded advantage-
ous results in wool if applied to
human hair it would permit it
to curl more easily; but urilesS
the bridges were rebuilt the
curled effect would not be last-
ing because the hair would be
too limp.'
What the scientists next had
to discover was some means of
breaking dawn the bridges foe-.
lowed by a second ;treatment to
join the chains together again
while the heir is still curled.
This is exactly what happens
during the cbUrse of permanent-
ly waving hair. The hair is Oak,

the Maharajah was lodged,
while the bearers made a kind
of encampment at a little dis-

Gradually the fires died down,
and quiet settled in upon us. A

an eerie brightness filled the
clearing and enveloped the

and the line of elephants staked
near them. . . -
