Agriculture Force
OfScientists Offers
Skill for War Use
Could Garry on Research
On Poison Gases and
lncendiory Bombs
Bv A. A. HOEHLING.

The Department of Agriculture,
which has never been identified in
a role other than that of erudite,
peace-loving helper of the farmer.
may before long direct at least
part of its energy toward the pro-
duction of poison gases, liquid fire,
incendiary bombs, and other articles
of goth century warfare.
This became known today as it
was learned that the department
has advised the National Defense
Commission that its Laboratories are
ready for research on the chemical
materials of warfare and that its
scientists are prepared. if necessary.
to supervise production.
At the same time. the commits
sion was informed that the depart
ment has perfected methods Of
producing more than dozen
from sugar to gasoline, and in
some cases has worked out details
for the construction of the manu-
featuring plants.
With the ability to produce these
items at home, a spokesman said
the United States need rely on no
outside markets, need never fear a
blockade.
Could Direct Production.
The report stated specifically that
research men in the department
have studied over a long period
of years" the reactions which pro-
duce chemical warfare gases and
that in the event of a national
emergency our experienced men
could direct research or supervise
the production of these combat
materials"
1t continued that scientists are
in the department who are expert
in CELEBRATES, which are used in
such things as lncendiary bombs
and flares.
Because there are only one or
two plants in the United States
producing alkali CELEBRATES. our staff
could play an important part in ex-
panding the production Of these war
necessities it was asserted.
On the defensive side of the pro-
gram, the department said it is in
a position to aid III the making of
activated carbons. which are used
in the manufacture of gas masks.
Turpentine Flame Tested.
The most spectacular recent dis
covery by the Bureau of Agricultural
Chemistry and Engineering, which
wrote the report, is that of turpen-
tine for use as liquid fire Flame
thrower tanks at Fort Benning. Ga,
are now testing the fluid and il is
understood that Army officers are
pleased with the results.
One advantage of turpentine put
10 this use lies in the saving of gaso-
line and in the vast quantity of
Southern trees which produce the
liquid. Also il is possible more dead
" than gasoline because it burns
slightly slower.
The widespread use of synthetics,
should they be demanded because
of an emergency, would be of direct
help to the farmer. Synthetic gaso-
line, for example, involves the mix
ture of gasoline and alcohol, and
alcohol is made from grains.
To equal the consumption of gaso-
line last year in the United States
00000,000 gallons-it is estimated

with view to making rubber out

modify.
AS in the case with other syn
thetics and war articles, the bu-
reau stated that in the event of
war it could undertake further re-
search, leading to the commercial
production of rubber substitutes. "
In the line of pharmacology both
humanitarian and anti-humani-
tartan research has been carried on.
The laboratory men in this de-
partment say they can contribute
to the study of war gases, while at
the same time they reveal that the
groundwork has been laid for pos
sible mass production of medicinal
substitutes. Many imported prod
ucts, for example, might be cut off
by war.
Camphor, for example, which

comes from Japan, in it's natural
state, can be extracted from our own
southern pine trees. Soap, Incl
dentally, is being made from resin
from the same tree.
Among the other synthetics being
developed at the Department of
Agriculture are: Starch, from sweet
potatoes; tanning materials, from
our Western hemlock tree; wool,
from milk casein; drying oils, out
of linseed instead of tung and
perilla, which come from the Orient,
and sugar, from corn, beets and
sorghum.
1t is also suggested that the
commission consider facilities for

airplane factories are studying the
possibility of making planes out of
plastics, agriculture scientists are
finding out what is best for making
the plastics.
Corn and vegetables and animal
fats are among the substances
which the chemists are reducing or
attempting to reduce to plastics. In
so doing, incidentally, attempts are
being made to conserve phenol,
which has been widely used in the
manufacture of plastics and which
is essential in the compounding of
explosives.
Synthetic rubber, or "rubberlike
materials" can be produced in this
country at the rate of 5000 tons
year according to present facilities,
the report went on, but that the rate
"can be greatly increased in one
year.
