Chemists believe that in the near
future man will derive from plants
many of the materials he now gets
from coal and petroleum, and the need
for intensive study of unutilized plant
substances is being stressed by the
science Some of the most familiar
weeds may perhaps contain the basis of
tomorrow's supply of wood and paper.
The Texas slnfower, for example,
weed common throughout the drier
parts of Texas--is now being studied at
the Bureau of Standards in Washing
ton on the theory that it may be
source of cellulose for paper rayon and
similar products. Preliminary reports
on the experiments say that, although
it is not probable the plant can at
present compete with wood in the cell
lulose lester, rayon or paper industries.
it may well be able to hold its own
against bagasse, cotton stalks and grain
hulls. all of which have been proposed
as sources of cellulose.

CHEMISTRY IS URGED AS AID
FOR PR OBLEMS OF FARMERS
Scientists Plan to Make Survey for Utiliza-

Grain Hulls and Weeds to Be Tested

on the utilization of the refuse in the
agricultural scrap heap, but DR.. Frank
c. Whitmore. professor of chemistry at
Northwestern and director of the in
Stitute, believes that only start has
been made There is needed. he says,
"a careful and systematic study by
great numbers of scientists on all sub
stances and materials which can be
made from the farmers products" Such
a study will be undertaken by the con-
gresS of chemists. who will be mere
from July % to August 18.
An estimate of the agricultural waste
in the United States places the total
at 1000, 900 900 tons, of which 20,00O00O
tons are corncobs and 150,000,00 tons
are cornStalkS. However. the infant
