Great is the debt that the new

whose contributions are enumerated
by writer: The utilization of the
formerly wasted cotton seed In oil
making and the employment Of the
pressed hulls as cattle feed; the
production of glycerin from cotton
seed oil, the use or the vast clay and
shale beds In brick and tile manpfac-
ture; and the opening up OF deposits
OF phosphates ana phosphate rock
that yield commercial fertilizers.
Through his experiments and ADVICE
the pine forests formerly destroyed In
obtaining turpentipe may now be
saved, while lumber, as 1t has been
pointed out that turpentine can be
obtained from waste sawdust slabs
ana cid trees or stumps cut down or
blown down by storms. High grade
oak ties for railroad use may be made
to last longer than before and low
grade lumber (such as loblolly pine)
can be made as efficient as untreated
oak by simply impresnating the tim
Der with creosote oil. and 1t IL now
