Explore Means to
Increase Oil in Corn

Breeding a by-product value into
corn-an increase of oil in the germ
has advanced as an economic pos
sibility as result of research by
department of agriculture chemists.
They have found that the oil con-
tent of hybrid corns may differ
widely-as much as SO per cent in
the case of two popular hybrids.
AS result, corn growers one Of
these days may be growing and sell
ing new hybrid corns bred to supply
more corn oil when processed-and
worth more on the market because
of this increase in oil value.
This applies particularly to grow
ers who sell corn for use in indus
tries producing products such as
starch, alcohol, breakfast foods,
hominy and oil. The oil reaches the.
public and industry in a variety
Of commodities ranging from short
ening, margarine and salad dress
ings to soap, paint, varnishes and
printing ink.
The importance of corn oil in the
United States-production averaged
more than 200 million pounds annu-
ally from 1910 to 1945-started re-
search at the departments North
ern Regional Research laboratory,
Peoria, ILL.,, to discover the range
Of oil content in hybrid corns, wheth-
er the variation is wide enough to
be significant to both growers and
F. r. Earle, J. J.
Curtis and j. E. Hubbard found that
two commonly grown hybrid varie-
ties showed a difference of at least
36 per cent in their yields of oil.
In most corn the oil is mainly in
the germ. BY dissecting many ker-
nels and analyzing the parts it was
found that hybrids did not differ from
open-pollinated varieties in their
physical proportions. Oil was still
confined mainly to the germ wheth-
ar oil content was high or low.

It is just as easy for the house
wife to accumulate clean clothes as
soiled ones. Doing the washing in
small patches at intervals during
the week instead of all at one time
on a single wash day makes for
all-round efficiency and an ever
ready supply of clean linens and
clothes. There is economy in remov-
ing dirt and perspiration often and
saving of the housewives time and
strength. Fine fabrics require gentle
handling if they are to look well and
wear well and ingrained dirt be-
comes difficult to remove.
