MANY NEW WAYS
TO USE CORN C0BS
WASTE OF THIS FARM PROD
UCT AMOUNTS TO 100000
TONS EVERY YEAR.

NEW YORK.-Science has found
wav to avoid the yearly waste OF
2OOOOO00 tons of corn cobs in the
corn belt OF the United tates, accord
;nq 10 a report of research work pre-
pared by Frederick B. LaForge and
Gerard Mains, of the bureau OF chem
istry, United States Department OF
Agriculture, and O. R. Sweeney, head
of the chemical engineering depart
ment OF Iowa State college, tor En-
gineering Foundation. The tounda-
ton. in commenting on the report,
said that chemists and engineers ap-
pear to have opened a path to new IN
dustries based on waste products,
which deals with the discovery OF new
processes for making the corn cobs
commercially available and reveals
their value.
Zone county in Missouri grows a
certain kind of Indian corn because its
largs cobs make good tobacco pipes,
saws the Foundation. Some cobs are
burned as fuel on farms. A maple
sugar flavor is made by boiling cobs
with water. Meat smoked with cobs
has favor said to be better than that
from hickory. There are other minor
uses.
But what use can be made of the
fifteen to twenty million tons OF cobs
wasted annually in the corn belt?
Chemists of the department OF agri-
culture, working on the subject since
1918, have discovered new values in
cobs and processes for making them
commercially available.
Iowa State college is investigating
production from cobs OF furtural OK
alic and acetic acids, methanol (wool
alcohol charcoal, activated char, tar,
pitch. oils, cob -four, incense, punk, a
plastic material and fermentation prod
ucts.
when cobs are cooked for few
minutes under pressure in superheated
water adhesive materials are extract
ed. These compounds belong to the
carbohydrate group of chemicals, to
which also belong starch, dextrine and
sugars.
Pentosan-adhesives can be used for
bags and for other purposes not de-
manding high-grade, strong adhe-
sives. A special use proposed is in
manufacture of briquettes from fine
sizes of anthracite, of which a super
bundance resulted in preparing that
coal for market Thus utilization Of
waste cobs could enhance materially
the value of near-waste coal; much
experimental work has been done.
when cobs are digested for about
two hours with steam under l35
pounds of pressure per square inch,
with very little sulphuric acid, diff
ferent product results, furfural.
1T can be obtained also from oat
bulls, bagasse, bran and other veg
etable substances. It's use has been
limited because of the high cost by
methods heretofore employed. In 1920
possibly fifty pounds were used in the
United States, only as laboratory

reagent; the price was about $50.
I'm France and Germany furfural
has been made a by-product in the
manufacture of alcohol from wood
waste. The liner Laboratories of Chi
cago, by independent research, devel-
oped a process for furfural from oat
bulls in large quantities. Annual pro-
duction is now thousands OF pounds,
and since 1922 the price has been re-
duced to rs cents.
Research workers of the depart
ment of agriculture, continuing their
investigation at the Arlington Farm
Virginia, have worked out practical
processes and equipment for furfural
from cobs in large quantities, at still
lower cost. On a scale of fifty tons Of
cobs a day yielding four and one-half
tons. furfural could be produced for
about 6 cents a pound, making no al
lowance for income from by-products.
Furfural can now be made at much
lower cost than formuladehyde, and
can replace it in number of fields.
Attention has turned to discovery
of additional uses for furfural and en-

sixty patents on its production and
utilization have been issued, mostly
within the last five years, in the Unit
ed States and other countries. During
the war shortage OF acetone could
easily have been met by distilling
cobs.
There is a promising field in the
manufacture of resins similar to Bake
lite, suitable for parts of electrical in
struments, for printing plates and va
rious other nodded articles. These
phenol furfural resins are infusible
and insoluble; they have high insulat-
ing qualities, great strength and great
resistance to water and chemicals.
They have a large field in radio equip

made from them. There are also in
Vulnerable uses for fiber impregnated
with these resins where great tough
ness and resistance are of value"

Negro Labor Never Again Plentiful
From the Progressive Farmer.

The first economic readjustment which
the new immigration law may be ex-
pected to make necessary in this
country, therefore, is the competitive
drafting Of all available groups of un-
skilled workers in our population to
do the rough work of our industries,
construction projects, and undertake
ings of a similar character The larg-
est group of unskilled workers in the
country consists OF the negroes in the
south, who are still predominantly en-
ployed in raising cotton and other ag-
ricultural products. 1t is now unavoid-
able that the southern negro, es-
pecially on the farms, should be drawn
upon by our industries railroads, etc,
to fill the need for unskilled labor to
an extent much exceeding anything
heretofore known"
Southern farmers heretofore have
often complained of a shortage of
labor" when the shortage was due on
ly to a failure to use modern equip
nlent and machinery. At the same
time, it must be admitted that cotton
and tobacco require an unusual pro-
portion of hand labor even under the
most favorable conditions. But our
farmers might as well face the fact
that farm labor here in the south in
the future is going to be both scarcer
and higher priced than ever before.
To meet this changed situation GER
tain changes in our farming policies
are necessary, and the wise farmer
will be the one who makes these
changes in time without waiting until
financial disaster forces him to.
The most important change made
necessary by the new condition is the
enrichment of our soil. Since it is go
ing to be more expensive to cultivate
an acre of land than ever before we
must get more out of all acre.
The second change IN prospect is
the greater use of improved nipple
ments and machinery. If we must pay
farm labor more per day, then we
must get larger returns from days
work. Horse labor is cheaper than hui
man labor. Improved implements and
machinery enable one man to cultivate
larger acreage By enriching our
soils and using more machinery we
can produce enough cotton or tobac-
CO from a much smaller acreage than
we are now planting to these crops
while the improved equipment will en-
able us to grow our own corn, small
grain. hay and feed crops, and SC
have our money crops" as true sur
plus crops.

GEORGIA is IDEAL
FOR RAISING BEES
THE BEE king" HAS 750,Oo0,Oo0
MANUFACTURING HONEY. IS
LARGEST IN THE WORLD.

SAVANNAH, Ga.-Ernest r. Root,
one of the worlds leading authorities
on bee culture, author OF several books
on the subject, lecturer for the Red
path chautauqua, and president OF the
A. l. Root Company, stated on his
recent visit to Savannah to speak be-
fore the Georgia Beekeepers' Associa-
ton that Georgia, OF all the states IN
the union is the one best adapted Tor
the bee and honey industry.
There is the remarkable cOmbina-
ton here of ideal climate conditions
and an inexhaustible profusion OF
honey-bearing plants he said. The
honey produced is light in color and
of excellent table quality. Bees can be
produced together commercially in
Georgia and in no other state is this
possible in any comparable proper
ton Bees will thrive here without
human care, while in states north they
die OF the cold in winter and in Flor1-
da they starve to death through the
lack of honey-bearing plants.
Georgia bees take an ideal rest
of about two months in the winter
Coming out on warm days for exer-
else keeps them in healthy condition.
They neither grow sluggish from a
long period of Information as do their
cousins in the north nor do they wear
themselves out as do their nelghbors
in Florida who fly constantly the year
round"
Georgia now has the largest bee
keeper in the world. J. J. Wilder at
Waycross operates over 10000 colo
nies or hives. AS there are about IS
900 bees in one OF his colonies it IS
easy to calculate the enormous extent
OF his business. He has approximately
.750,000,000 bees gathering nectar and
manufacturing honey for him. D. w.
Howell, president of the Georgia Bee
keepers Association, is known all over
the United States as breeder OF very
fine queen bees. A. r. Irish, of Sa-
vannah, is also one OF the largest pro-
ducers in the country. He has over
1000 hives in the vicinity of Chatham
county and last year raised sixteen
tons of honey besides shipping 1000
light colonies OF bees to almost every
state in the United States and to Can
ada"

NEW S65O,OOO COTTON
FACTORY FOR GEORGIA
NEW ENGLAND MILLS OMIT
ING DIVIDENDS; CAN'T COM
PETE WITH THE SOUTH.

ATLANTA, Ga.-Two significant
textile items have appeared in the last
few days, it was pointed out today
by industrial experts. Amoskeag mills,
one OF the best known New England
mills, and said to be one OF the largest
cotton manufacturing plants in the
world, passed its quarterly dividend
The other item relates to the an
nouncement of the organization OF a
new cotton mill at Griffin, Ga, with a
capitalization of $650000.
The Amoskeag Mills, it was pointed
out, have been paying recent dividends
from surplus rather than from earn
ings This situation is ascribed as due
partly to southern competition, partly
to high wages paid operatives and
partly to general textile depression
The fact that even while New Eng
lands largest mill omits its divided
considerable sums of new capital are
being invested in the establishment
of a new mill in the south gives fur
Their significance to the increasing inn
portance that is being placed upon
Dixie as the most favorable center Tor
for economical cotton manufacturing
1t is very generally known that tor
some years textile investors OF other
sections have been looking with in
creasing favor upon the south as a
highly favorable location for textile
plants. Actual developments have lent
greater strength to this viewpoint.
Manufacturers here are confident
that a great and expansive textile in
dustry, complete in every detail, can
be made to prosper in the south to a
greater degree than elsewhere.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
COLDS AND THE FLU

To break up cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calotabs, he nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.
One or two Calotabs at bed time with
a swallow of water,-that's all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn
ing your cold has vanished and your sys-
TEN feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size;
thirty-five cents for the large family pack
age. Recommended and guaranteed by
druggists. Your money back if you are not
delighted-adv.

lust after congress passed the new
immigration law the Progressive
Farmer pointed out that it would have
very important effects on southern
agriculture. AS we then stated, the
United States for many years has
been receiving vast hordes of low
grade laborers from southern Europe.
These laborers have been largely de-
pended on for factory, mining, rail-
road and construction work in the
north. With this labor supply from
Europe cut off it is inevitable that
northern industries will draw more
and more on the negro labor of the
south for reinforcements This opin-
ion, expressed by us some months
ago, is confirmed by discussion OF
the matter in the Economic World OF
New York, which says:
at certainly will not be an easy
matter to find in our own population
unskiled workers to take the place of
an annual increment of the half mil
lion or more immigrants for whom
unskilled work under American condi-
tons and at American wages has
seemed a magnificent opportunity

Nile Irrigation

The phenomenon OF the overlooking
of the Nile occurs regularly every
year, and lasts from the 10Th Of June
to the 18th of September. After this
period the river gradually subsidies
leaving rich alluvial deposit for
some six miles on each side of the
stream. A rise Of 16 cubits Is neces-
sary to furnish the proper irrigation.
An excessive rise of the river means
great loss of crops and property, and
sometimes of human life; while the
failure of few feet may occasion al
most q famine during the ensuing
year. In 1929 the Nile rose 20 cubits.

Nelu Process Hos.e1s
Marketing of Oranges

An orange may be inwardly ripe
when Outwardly green. and II allowed
to yellow ON the trees the marketing
may be delayed four to six weeks and
consequently a less favorable price
may be obtained.
This green condition gives the sat
suma orange grower more concern
than others. Satsumas are raised In
upper Florida, lower Alabama and
lower Mississippi Normally they are
gathered about October Is. but they
can be harvested earlier when arti-
fetal processes of cOloring are used to
get away from the persistent green
ness Of skin.
The United States Department Of
Agriculture has worked out process
for coloring oranges without harming
the fruit, says the Scientific American.
The process consists Of inclosing the
oranges in alright rooms and SUBJ
jecting them to fumes of kerosene
stoves or to gasoline engine exhaust.
The fumes given off destroy the green
chlorophyll SO that the yellow of the
orange shows up,
1t requires about four days to bring
out the yellow Of the oranges by this
process. This Is better than waiting
four or six weeks for the fruit to ripen
on the trees, running the risk Of frost
or storm damage and facing the prob
ability of lower market when the
oranges are ultimately harvested.

It's way to the scholarly dictionary.
where 1t Is defined as "a form of
syncopated music played in discordant
tones on various instruments, as the
banjo. saxophone. trombone. hageolet,
drum and piano." But this definition
is incomplete. In the jazz band there
are kettle-drums, cOw-bells. kitchen
pans, tin whistles, baby's rattles. etc.
The music" Is full Of shrieks,
screams. means and explosions. The
leader usually adopts suitable idiotic
attitude. With cap set on one side
Of his head he prances around, rolls
his eyes and twists his face into all
kinds Of simian contortions. The in
spiration for all this was found among
excited savages.
