NEW YORK, October 27.-A move
to establish chemical farming as q
new form of agriculture was
launched last night by the Chemical
Foundation.
In the ultimate goal the surplus
food crops-plants without dfop of
metal in them-would be converted
by chemical processes already known
into such things as auto parts, auto
bodies and water mains.
Farms would grow the bases of
paints and varnish. of new building
materials and produce some of the
great raw chemicals of industry.
The idea as described by Francis
p. Garvan, president of the founda-
ton. is to make agriculture positive"
instead of negative" to give the
farmer ultimately an unlimited mar
ket for all he can produce instead
and curtailing his crops.
Miracles Accomplished.
The plan is an industrial as well as
q farm revolution, projected to take
many years for completion, but with
the chemical miracles for the start
already accomplished fact. Thus,
Mr.. Garvan pointed out. a half
bushel of soy beans already goes
into every car of one American make
as shifting rod knobs and similar
parts.
The Chemical Foundation is the
non-profit organization formed in the
World War which helped in one
decade to build the present enormous
American chemical industry.
The text for tonight's announce
ment is THE Farm Chemurgic," the
latter word formed from chemistry
and the Greek word meaning work.
A book which the foundation is send
ing to industrial, political and agri-
cultural leaders. The author Is DR..

SCHOOL COMMIT Tee
Only Labor Union Member,
He Claims.

Resignation of Adolph j. Fritz,
Indiana State Federation Of Labor
secretary, as a member of the citi-
zens' school committee, was an
nounced today.
Mr.. Fritz resignation was sup
mitted some time ago, although no
action has been taken by the COM
mittee officials.
Explaining his action, Mr., Fritz
said he resigned because he was the
only representative of organized
labor selected for membership on
the committee, resulting in labor
having only one vote in the organi-
cation whose membership numbers
more than 200.
John L. Niblack, committee sec
rotary, voiced regret at Mr.. Fritz
resignation, but at the same time
pointed out the obvious imposSibility
of selecting large groups from every
organization and movement in the
city for membership on the COM
mittee.
