Sugar Cane
BY FLORENCE WEED

(This Is one OF series OF articles show
ing how farm products are finding an i'm
porfsnt market in Industry
Some of the attractive colorful
rooms in modern homes are made
with wall board of pressed sugar
cane. Time was when no one knew
what to do with sugar cane bagasse
after the sugar was extracted. Tons
were either destroyed or burned as
fuel in the sugar mills. Then in
dustrial chemists found a way to
press the cane refuse into long
fibers, to felt and weave it into long
board sheets.
Chemists have also found that a
cheap molding compound can be
made from bagasse. BY grinding
the cane TO a powder, combining it
with chemicals, the substance can
be nodded into fiat panels or floor
tiles.
Backers believe that this low
cost molding compound will enable
the plastics industry to branch out
into broader fields such as the man.
ufacture of furniture, building mate
rails and parts for automobiles since
it can be made for less than half
the cost of the cheapest synthetic
compound known.

for hauling their produce to market
and for transporting needed supplies
to the farms.
Programs Double Aim.
The program has the double aim
of conserving vital equipment and
assuring a continuous flow of farm
commodities to market.
In letter to state and county
war boards urging the conserya-
ton of farm transportation facilities,
Secretary of Agriculture Claude r.
Wickard said. THE department is
glad to cooperate in this program
to the fullest extent, realizing that
attainment of agricultural produc-
ton goals will be meaningless un-
less there is assurance that essen
tial farm products, when ready for
market, can quickly be brought to
processing, storage or consumption
centers.
Joseph B. Eastman, director Of
the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton, said. Farmers can assist in
the nationwide farm transportation
program by avoiding trips to mar
ket with less than full loads wher-
ever possible, and by making every
possible effort to purchase their sup
plies at times when it will be pos
sible to haul them to their farms
on return trips"
Operators of farm trucks also are
urged to follow the preventive
maintenance plan" Of the ODT in
order to prolong the life Of such
equipment as lo- 6 as possible.
