The chemurgist sees two ways
to reduce the farm surplus. First,
he would utilize the standard |
crops in industry and second, he |
would introduce new crops to re- 1
place those perennially overpro-:

Attacking the problem from the |
second angle, chemurgy has made -
significant strides. It has pointed J
the road to profitable new crops

Speaking words strange to the
local industry, F. H. Finch, Aus-.
Bitralian-born cattleman of the Ar-
7 gentine, is in Fort Worth meeting
local stockmen and making a
comparative study of ranching op-
i erations.
Tung oil has been imported
from China for many years, ap-
proximately 135,000,000 pounds an-
nually. It was found the crop,
however, could be grown success-
fully from Texas to Florida. So
large plantings were b-gun. -
Today the first fruits of that
experiment marshal impressive
figures---Mississippi has become
a leading tung oil producer with
some 90,000 acres of trees in pro-
duction. Thousands of trees are
producing in the extreme south-
ern parts of Louisiana, Alabama,
Georgia, Florida and Texas as
well, about 175,000 acres in all.
This United States is beginning
to cut down this particular Impor-
tation. In a few years, predicts
Louis Taber of the National .Farm
Chemurgic Council, tung oil will
be asimportant a crop as the cit-
rus crops.
Tung oil is an essential Ingredi-
ent in the manufacture of paints,
varnishes, waterproofing mater-
ials and many other products.
From fibers: rope
murgists see a potential need tor
1,500,000 acres of castor, plants.
The plant is important as a wea-
pon against insects and pests.

crops such as hemp, jute, ramie,
and- long staple cotton. It is test-
ing flax for new uses in the tex-
tile industry, for oils and other
uses. Such fine wrapping papers
as cigaret papers have recently
been made from flax straw.
Chemurgy has introduced other

wards best of the drying oils. Up- Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas,
wards or and -------+ — Even more extensive plantings
are contemplated for 1939.
At the same time chemurgy is
pushing the domestic production
of fats and oils. While the United
States produces a large tonnage
of vegetable oils, $30,000,000
worth of edible oils and fats and
$85,000,000 worth of non-edible
oils and fats are imported an-
nually. In addition, about $60,-
000,000 worth of oil seeds are im-
ported.. ‘ -
wards of $20,000,000 worth is im-
ported annually.
Likely to take a position along
with the tung trees is the castor
bean plant with which experi-
ments have now been made in 32
states. There are more than 2000
species and types of the castor
plant but through interpolleniza-
tion five new types have been de-
veloped.
They have been found commer-
cially valuable for oil, insecticides,
rope and .bagging, fertilizer and
finally.for paper and rayon. Che-

VERSATILE
RAMIE
Ramie is said to be the most
and lightest
than cotton, six times
_ than silk, and four times
stronger than flax or hemp. It is
less crushable than linen. It pro-
duces a superior paper. It may
be dyed in ill colors and used for
tablectoths, napkins, plushes, up-
holstery, curtains, carpets, dress
and knit goods.
Chemurgy is also pushing ex- prove
perimentation with several fiberfarms
Until recently there was no pro-
cess for removing the gum from
the fiber. This has now been ac-
complished with the result that
ramie may take an important new
place in the textile industry. If
it does chemurgy will have moved
another step ahead.
Not so important but likely to
prove practicable on countless!
Park Board Offers
To Maintain Grounds
City Council took under advise-
ment today a Park’Board offer
to assume responsibility for up-
keep of the West Side Centennial
grounds, if Council will relieve
the Park. Department of its
$15,000 annual obligation on bond-
ed debt requirements
The proportion was submitted
night at a Council - Park
Board Conference last night at
the Neil P. Anderson Camp, Lake
Worth. Members of Council and
of the Park and Recreation
boards were guests of Park Supt.
Harry J. Adams at a fish din-
ner.
Morris E. Barney, Park Board
president, also asked that $10,000
in park funds, impounded during
the bond controversy, be released
to the department.
The $15,000 interest and sink-
ing fund charge amounts to about

out, there should be increased

of by-products and waste. Paper
