sweet POTATO
Extensive Starch Produc.
ton From Tuber Likely
To Be Developed
By FRED o. BAILEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. IT. (UP).
The department of agriculture, in
manufacturing starch from sweet
potatoes, believes it has discover
ed another promising southern
farm crop.
II was estimated the industry
soon may provide market for
millions of bushels OF sweet pota-.
toes. LaIge-scale production OF
starch from this source already Is
underway.
Chemical research on q COM
mcrcial plant scale and one year
of commercial production at a
trial rlant at Laurel, Miss, have
proved such an industry practical,
department of agriculture scien-
fists said.
STARCH YIELD HIGH
Last year the Laurel plant pro-
cessed $1,000 bushels OF sweet po-
tatoes, extracting an average OF
10 pounds of starch per bushel.
Under improved methods develop
ed near the end of the season ii
to ~ pounds Of starch were OK
tracted from each bushel.
In addition to starch, the plant
obtained about four pounds Of po-
tato pulp from each bushel. This,
the department said, was about
equal to sugar beet pulp as live
stock feed.
During 1884, the first year the
plant was in operation, it produc-
ed 10000 pounds of sweet pota-
to starch. The second year 250,.
600 pounds were produced, and
last year 100000 pounds. ,
This new starch has been tried
on q commercial basis in cotton
mills, adhesive factories and laun-
dries. It has been found to be sat
isfactory the department said. Big
cotton mills use it by the tons, 1t
was said.
USED FOR ADHESIVE
DeXtrin made from sweet potato
starch is the only domestic starch
product that meets government
specifications for adhesive for
postage stamps, labels and cnve-
iopes, the department said. At
present imported cassava starch is
used altogether for this.
The department said its goal is
to develop a sweet potato starch
industry that will get its share OF
the imported root starch business
and helm the farmers in the south

EMPIRE STATE FACTIONS
CLASH OVER AMENDMENT

fed the amendment in their re-
spective legislatures.
To become a part Of the con-
stitution, the amendment must be
ratified by SO states. Congress IN
1924 passed the amendment-o
2e7 to 80 in the house; 81 to 20
in the senate - in an effort TO
make possible more uniform reg
ulation of child labor throughout
the nation.
The amendment reads: -
"Section 1.-The congress shall
have power to limit, regulate, ana
prohibit the labor Of persons un-
der l2 years Of age.
"Section 2-The power OF the
several states is unimpaired by
this article except that the opera
ton of state laws shall be sus-
nended to the extent necessary TO
give effect to legislation enacted
by the congress.
In a memorandum, explaining
the amendment, the New YORK
State department of labor said !:
"Congress shall have the power
is the significant phase OF the
amendment which stamps it as
purely an enabling act.
"The amendment itself would
not prohibit the employment OF
young people under l8, or under
16, or under Ia: it would not
regulate their work. 1t would ra-
Their give congress the power to
mass such laws as it should see mt:
within the limits Of the terms OF
the amendment"
President Roosevelt, during two
terms as governor of the nation 5
most populous state-l3,OOO,OOO
inhabitants - advocated ratitica-
ton. Governor Lehman has con-
tinued his efforts.
Proponents have been urged to
attend today's hearing in full
force.
La Guardia has charged that
forces interested in exploiting
child labor for profit formed the
principal opposition to the amend
ment which he supported during
his congressional career.
Meantime. opposition is expect
ed to come from Merwin X. Hart,
president of the New York State
economic council, who has assert
ed that the amendment was de-
signed to destroy "the American
form of government-the Ameri-
can way of life"
|. "a conspiracy is on foot to hand
over to the liberties of all youth
under Is to a federal bureau-to
take all persons under ,l8 from
the influence of their fathers and
mothers-to abolish all state con-
troll of youth. including the con-
troll of education" declared Hart.

as between one colored Sunday
