War to Solve 4
Farm Problem
Substitutes From Crops to
Be Forced by Shortages
In Raw Materials.

WASHINGTON genius
and inventiveness finds an oppor-
tunity in the war to apply some OF
the proposed remedies for curing
one of the nations severest head
aches-surplus farm products.
During the last decade, agricul-
ture has been plagued by ware
houses. elevators and bins overflow
ing with supplies of cotton, wheat,
corn, tobacco, and other farm prod
ucts-marketableS only at ruinously
low prices. This situation was re-
f1ected in economic instability In
many rural areas, necessitating
huge expenditures by the govern
ment on relief and price-insuring
crop programs.
|. Scientists and technicians suggest
ed that this problem of surplus would
be solved, at least partially, if new
industrial uses could be developed
for farm products. Much labora-
tory work already had been done
along this line, both by government
tai experiment stations and by prl-
vate industry. =
Seek Sources at Home.
Raw materials normally secured
from abroad may become difficult
or impossible to secure.
Industry is turning to possible
sources at home. 1t is beginning to
adopt many of the suggestions Of
scientists for use of farm products.
The most notable is the use of corn
in making industrial alcohol. 1t is
quite possible that by the. time the
war is over, American grain, rather
than imported molasses, will be the
major source of the country's alco-
hol supply, and possibly an impor-
tant source of supply for motor fuel,
as well.
The war has started scientists ex-
ploring the field of solid fuels also.
Here starch offers an interesting
possibility. 1t is produced on every
farm in this country in the form of
corn, wheat, other grains, potatoes
and other crops.
Threatened shortage of paper is
developing new interest in making
paper from such raw materials as
corn stalks, wheat straw and cotton
plants. The quantity of stalks and
straws produced in this country
each year is several times the
amount needed to make all the pa
per that is needed. Heretofore, it
has been more economical to use
wood. :
Seek Substitute Starch.
Agriculture department authori-
ties estimate that American farms
produce annually about 260. 1000, 600
tons of by-products that provide a
potential source of supply for manu-
featured products. This includes
straw, stalks, husks, cobs, cotton
seed hulls, sugar-cane bagasse, and
peanut hulls. 4,.-... s.aass.
Agricultural leaders hope that the
war will expedite the manufac ture
of starch from potatoes so that a
large part of the 215, 000, 900 pounds
of imported root starch may be re-
placed by domestic production.
Agriculture department production
goals for, 1912 call for increases of
1,100,0OO acres of soybeans and
1000, 600 acres of peanuts. With av-
erage yields, these increases would
provide an additional 500, 600, 900
pounds of oil.
BY shutting off Japanese silk, the
conflict is increasing the use of cot
ton in clothing. One notable exam
pie is full-fashioned cotton hose. The
result may be larger permanent
market for the cotton farmer.
