Farms to Feed
Our Factories
of the Future
Industrial Use of Farm
Products Is Great Hope
By L. F. LIVINGSTON
President, American Society of Agricul¬
tural Engineers, in an Address,
' | 'HE idea of the industrial use
A of farm crops as raw materials
is not new. Years of scientific re¬
search are behind it, but the de¬
pression, from which we now seem
to he emerging, has given it a
prominence that makes it one of
the major hopes of agriculture today.
World changes in agriculture arc tend¬
ing to make nations more and more
self-sustaining, which means that some¬
how we must broaden our markets at
home. One way to do this is by culti¬
vating on American soil those agricul¬
tural raw materials we now import.
The other way is by finding new uses
for our crops in our manufacturing in¬
dustries. We are following both of
these methods of development.
Soy beans furnish the almost perfect
example. Introduced in this country
over a century ago from China, they
were first grown In the South. Acre¬
age was limited, however, and the
beans were fed mainly to hogs. Prac¬
tically none of the American produc¬
tion went into industrial use, regard¬
less of the fact that soy bean oil was
being imported from China for use in
the paint Industry, Then research
tackled the soy bean and a wholly dif¬
ferent story may be (old today.
Soy Bean Acreage Increased.
In 1935, almost 5,500,000 acres in 27
states were planted to soy beans alone,
and an additional acreage was planted
with corn and other crops for forage.
This was an Increase of one-third over
1934. Almost 21,000,000 pounds of
American-produced soy bean oil was
used by Industry. About half of this
went Info the making of paint and
varnish. The balance went Into snaps,
linoleum and oilcloth, printing Inks, ed¬
ible compounds, and various other in¬
dustrial products. Including automo¬
biles. Gear shift knobs, engine dis
tributor covers, ornamental door han¬
dles and other parts of automobiles
are now being made out of soy bean
meal.
Casein, n dairy by-product used wide¬
ly In Industry and particularly in the
manufacture of certain grades of pa¬
per. Is another example of what may
be clone with many farm-produced ma¬
terials now imported. According to the
United States bureau of dairy Industry,
two-thirds of the casein required by
American factories In 1920 was oh
talned abroad. As late as 1929, about
one-half was imported. However, In
1 934, all but 4 per rent of our indus¬
trial needs were supplied by home pro¬
ducers. who, with chemical and ongi
neering aid, found that what could he
accomplished by the dairymen of the
Argentine and elsewhere was not be¬
yond the Ingenuity of Americans.
American factories buy nine-tenths
of all the tung oil China produces, al¬
though American-refined tung oil is su¬
perior. Southern farmers aiming at
this market now have 250,000 acres In
tung trees—it will retpiire one million
acres or more to fill the national de¬
mand. The American textile industry’s
annual Imports of starch amount to hun¬
dreds of millions of pounds, and we
are doing something about that too.
The Farm Ohemurgie council esti
mates that 50,000.000 acres may be
planted to industrial-use crops within
the next ten years “if man sets himself
to the task.” The council estimates
8,000.000 new acres to provide wood
pulp for paper and paper stock, a fore¬
cast that is based on the success of the
experiments by Dr. Charles II Hert.v
with fast growing southern pines.
Possibilities in South.
The South abounds In unexplored
possibilities for new crops. In south¬
ern Florida they .have found that cof¬
fee and cacao may lie grown If shel¬
tered by larger trees. Rubber from
American-grown plants is still a possi¬
bility. Artificial temperature control,
to protect plants like the tung tree
from winter frosts, is gradually being
developed to a practical stage, and
wlmt vistas that will open to southern
growers only the future can tell
No discussion of industrial-use crops
can be complete without mentioning
cotton. Through chemical conversion
Into cellulose its uses have become lit¬
erally hundreds. Cotton seeds, once a

handy so they can take a dose for
prompt relief at the first sign of
constipation.
Mr. Sherman Sneed, of Evensville,
Tenn, writes: “I take Black-Draught
for constipation which causes head¬
ache, a bad, tired feeling and for
biliousness, bad taste in the mouth
and sluggish feeling. Black-Draught,
taken about two nights, clears up
this trouble and I get all right.”
Men and women like Black* Draught so
well because of the refreshing relief it
brings in constipation troubles.

Landing Planes
in Blinding Fog
With Television
New Patent Claims to
Flash View of Airport
WASHINGTON. — How tele¬
vision may eliminate many of the
hazards of blind landings in even
the densest fog and blackest night
by figuratively providing the pilot
with fog and night-piercing “eyes,”
is revealed in a United States pat¬
ent granted to John Hays Hammond.
Jr., noted for his inventions of naviga¬
tional guide systems, and son of the
famous mining engineer.
Bridging the fog-filled gap between
plane and airport, radio waves travel¬
ling wdth the speed of light carry a
picture of the landing field to the pilot,
simultaneously with data of the exact
position of bis plane over it, the direc¬
tion of his flight, his altitude, wind
velocity and wind direction—all the
data he needs for a safe landing.
How It Works.
The sending of the picture Is accom¬
plished with the aid of television which
some experts say will be here on an
every day basis within two to five
years.
Here briefly is how the inventor’s
patented system does it:
As the airplane approaches the field,
it sends out radio signals. These, or
tlie roar of the plane’s propellers, are
picked up on the landing field by deli¬
cate direction finders, like those ‘used
by armies to detect and trace the po¬
sition and direction of flight of enemy
planes.
The direction finders, operating com¬
plicated mechanism, trace this infor¬
mation by means of a tiny light bulb,
which move's over a photograph or fac¬
simile of the airport and the surround¬
ing landscape with its hills, river,
forest, high chimneys and church
steeples. At any instant the position
of tlie light hull) on Hie facsimile In¬
dicates the exact position of a plane
over the field while an arrow hooked
up with (tie bulb points In (lie direc¬
tion of flight.
Picture Appears on Panel.
A television transmitter now tele¬
vises the whole picture from the air¬
port via radio waves to the pilot, to¬
gether with the other data already
mentioned. This picture appears be¬
fore him on the television receiver at¬
tached to the instrument panel of the
plane. The aviator, therefore, will al¬
ways have in front of him a view of
the landing field and the surrounding
country with a bright spot of light in¬
dicating the position of tds plane over
the field, so that lie can make a safe
landing at night or in fog.
Inventor Hammond also contem¬
plates the use of his-television naviga¬
tion guide in much the same manner
to aid the movement of ships in and
out of fog-blanketed harbors.
Soviel Scientists
Transfuse Animal Blood
Into Human Patients
MOSCOW, U. S. S. R.—Experi¬
ments in transfusion of blood from
goats, hulls and hens into human
patients arc being carried on by a
number of Soviet scientists. The
object of these transfusions is not
to replace blood lost in accident or
disease, ns in the case of transfusions
of human blood, but to stimulate the
body to greater activity In fighting off
disease.
Stomach ulcer, certain forms of rheu¬
matism, various forms of blood poison¬
ing and chronic anemia are among the
conditions which. It is claimed, may
he helped by animal blood transfusion
hy the method of those Soviet scien¬
tists.
The Idood from the animals is spe¬
cially treated in order to make it safe
for injection into the human patient’s
vein. In the case of the hull’s blood,
only tite red cells are used, on the
theory that the albumen of the blood
plasma, rather than the red celts, is
the part of the animal blood that
would prove most incompatible with
human blood and therefore most in
jurions.
This is the explanation given hy Pro¬
fessor Gaipern of Hie Dnepropetrovsk
Medical institute, who is said to have
been the first to make experimental
transfusions of large doses of animal
blood to men.
Further Details Follow.
Doctor Bogdassarov explained the
method in non technical terms as fp)
lows:
’ 1'lie idea of transfusion ot anin.v
Idood to men in order to raise the ac¬
tivity of the organism in its struggle
against tiie disease and to stimulate
the increase of production of blood by
the organism, belongs to the French
scientists Crochet, Cnssimon and Ra
got, who advanced this idea in 1928.
However, this method of treatment
round practically no development in
die medical practice of Europe, while
extensive research and practical work
lias been conducted in this field during
i ecpnt years in the CSSK.
“A year and a half ago. the Central
Institute of llaeinattioiogy and Blood
Transfusion in Moscow used for the
lirst time goat s blood for transfusion
in cases of ulcer of the stomach, chron¬
ic and semi-acute forms of rheumatism
of the joints, various forms of sepsis,
chronic anaemia, etc.”

Reducing and Nervou*ne»»
f 1 'HE difficult part about reduc
A mg’ weight is the cutting
down on the starch or sugar
foods — sugar, bread, potatoes,
pastry.
Everybody, whether thin or fat,
needs these particular foods, as they
are the "energy givers,” and the body
must have foods to supply this energy.
Meats, fruits, minerals, vitamins are
all necessary to health and all give a
certain amount of energy, but it is the
Starch, that is, really the sugar foods,
that give energy In the amounts the
body needs.
In the overweight individual, nature
has been bind or generous, as it were,
in that the sugar foods eaten not only
supply the energy but a portion of
them is stored away in the liver, mus¬
cles, and other tissues and can be used
If the individual is unable to get a

Source of Nervousness.
Now when the overweight begins do¬
ing without his or her usual amount
of starch or sugar foods, one of the
lirst symptoms noticed is a weak or
nervous feeling. This is because the
amount of sugar in their blood or tis¬
sues is not as much as usual; it Is
the sugar that gives the energy—the
feeling of strength. It is only natural
then that they turn to starch or sugar
foods again and many of them give up
the whole idea of trying to reduce
weigiit.
However, the very fact that sugar
is so helpful in overcoming this nerv¬
ous or weak feeling, has been used by
some physicians in reducing the weight
in their patients.
Thus with the usual amount of food
cut down by one-quarter to one-half,
when the patient begins to feel nerv¬
ous or weak, he is given some sugar—
candy or in some other form—and this
overcomes the weakness or nervous¬
ness until the regular meal time ar¬
rives.
In the Medical Journal and Record,
Drs. V. Vosidda and 1, J. Roberts re¬
cord their method ’of reducing weigiit,
which consists of -cutting down the
usual diet by about one half and giving
dextrose (sugar) when ttiere are symp¬
toms of fatigue, hunger, nervousness
or weakness the result of an insuffi¬
cient amount of sugar in the blood.
Doctors’ Daily Plan.
Their daily plan Is as follows:
The daily diet consists of clear soup,
a liberal helping of vegetables, two or
three pieces of bread and butter, one
average portion of meat, two glasses
of milk and one orange.
In addition the patient takes about
one ounce of dextrose daily in the
form of pleasantly flavored lozenges—
each lozenge containing about a half
tenspoonful—one lozenge being dis¬
solved in the mouth every half hour
from 9:30 to 11 a. to., 2:30 to 5:30
p. m. Liquids must be cut down as
much as possible and only five glasses
—water, tea, coffee, soft or hard drinks
or any other form of liquid—are to be
taken daily. Absolutely no food should
he taken between meals except the
dextrose mentioned above.
Moderate exercise in the form of
walking is advised but no severe gym¬
nastic exercises.
Thus while sugar is fattening and
must lie cut down in all reducing diets,
yet using a piece of candy, a choco¬
late bar, or a banana (the meat of
which is rapidly turned into sugar)
when that hungry, nervous, weak feel¬
ing comes, not only overcomes tills
feeling, but is really a safeguard whilst
reducing.
The use of an alkali—common bak¬
ing soda is always at hand—prevents
the acidosis which occurs during the
reduction of weight; a level teaspoon
ful two or three times a day in a half
glass of water Is sufficient.
