Many New Uses For Farm
Products Being Studied

WASHINGTON The other day
l had an interesting discussion
with Frank L. Teuton of the Re-
search Service of the Un te d
States Department of Agriculture.
I had asked the Department to ad-
wise me what progress is being
made in discovering new uses for
agricultural products. Mr.. Teuton
responded with some real eye
openers.
One of the obstacles we face in
efforts to solve the farm problem
is the mountainous supply of COM
D1oditieS that today overhang the
market. If consumption of farm
products can be increased ma
terially or if new uses for Substan-
tial quantities of these products
can be found, we will have taken
long steps forward in the continu-
ing effort to solve this problem.
The Department of Agriculture
is making headway with an effec-
tive program to discover new pro-
fitable uses for farm products.
More than 1000 scientists are en-
gagged on this task at scores of
federal and state stations. During
the current year the government
will spend S85 million on various
phases of agricultural research.
For next year, the Department has
requested that this be increased
to Sl03 million.
Here are some Of the examples

VA Has Code Of Standards In Loan Program

VA is requiring fee appraisers
and inspectors to adhere to the
VA code of standards because the
activities of a small minority of
the $500 appraisers and 3,l00 in
spectors on VAS approved rosters
have been found to vary from the
standards desiened to be achieved

VA is requiring, as a condition
for appointment and retention on
its rosters, fee appraisers and in

Chapel Hill
Called Stute's $
Beauty Spot

CHAPEL HILL - Along about
this time of the year the whole
state of North Carolina seems to
have touched up the drabnesS of
winter with the fresh colors of
spring. Farmers have begun to
change their bare fields into green
gardens, and ladies in the coun-
try, villages and towns, have
turned their yards into arbore-
tumS
The results can be seen as one
rides up and down village streets
and country roads.
Now no matter where you 60,
North Carolina is blooming with
the freshness of springtime And
the beauty spot of the whole state
outside of ones hometown - is
Chapel Hill.
Chapel Hill, the site of the Uni
versity of North Carolina, seems
to make use of every mood of
spring. The sun seems only to in
crease the beauty of the ivy that
clinoS to numerous buildings and
to add even more color to the
countless. colorful, blooming flow
ers. A cloudy day seems only to
present the same beauty in an
other perspective. And the drip
ping of water off the flowers and
trees after a rain tends only to
add little mystery to the beauty.
An unusually beautiful spot in
the village" is the Coker Arbore-
tum. which has blooms of various
sorts. A number of native and
foreign Towering trees are bloom
ing within the Arboretum, which
has more than 500 different
species of flowers, shrubs. and
trees.
PARENTS COME TO COLLEGE
Parents of the students at UNC
got a chance to see the beauty of
Chapel Hill under part-cloudy-
part-sunny sky sunday. They
came from all over to see Chapel
Hill and be here for the annual
Parents Day.
Whether going to church, eat
ing a picnic lunch. listening to
Chancellor Robert House talk, en-
joying the music of the UNC band
in an outdoor concert, seeing the
Carolina Playmakers' production
of "A Midsummer Nights Dream"
or combination of all of these,
for the parents, it was Just like
being back in college.

VARIED PRODUCTS

VARIED PRODUCTS
You can now buy powdered cit
rus juices, tomato juice, whole
milk and whole eggs. Powdered
eggs have been greatly improved
from the type many Servicemen
complained about having to eat
curing World War II. These i'm
provements now make it possible
for the housewife to buy cake mix
with whole eggs which does not
require refrigeration. The specific
benefit to the farmer is a more
stable year-round market for his
eggs.
All of us know now useful nylon
is, but how many know that this
fiber can now be produced from
an ordinary corn cob?
Raincoats are now being pro-
duced from surplus hog lard, OF
which many farmers have an eX-
cess in the fall. And does it sur
prise you to learn that varniSh
can now be produced from Irish
potatoes? Scientists of the Re
search Service Of the I'm d
States Department of Agriculture
discovered h a t penicillin C n
now be produced from by-prod-
uct of corn - the corn-steep liquor
which is usually thrown away
This discovery has resulted in a
reduction in the cost of penicillin
DeXtran is substitute for blood
plasma which was widely used dur
ing the Korean War. 1t is pro-
duced from corn sugar. Your c0c-
tor can tell you all about deXtran
1t may be used as substitute for
plaSma in many emergencies.
The Agriculture Department S
research has also given us two
way stretch cotton bandage by dis
covering that ordinary cotton may
be treated with a chemical to free
it of wrinkles. This type of band
age allows for free movement
around elbows, knees, and joints
New type wrinkle-resistant cotton
dresses also resulted from this dis
covery.
Flame-reSistant bed blankets
which may well save the lives OF
many who would otherwise burn
to death in house fires, will be on
the market soon.
Mr.. Teuton told me an interest
ing story about how United States
Senator Everett M. Dirksen. OF
Illinois, personally benefited from
his own efforts in spearheading an
appropriation for the Research
Service as a member of the House
Committee on Appropriations
Senator Dirksen was about to lose
his eyesight in 1948 and volun-
tarily gave up his seat in the
House of Representatives and
planned to retire from public life.
Just about that time the Philadel-
phia laboratory of the Research
Service was engaged in an effort
to find use for tobacco roots
These efforts produced a chemical
which is used to make the drug
,utin. Mr.. Dirksen's eye doctor
suggested he try this new drug as
a treatment for his failing eye
sight. He did so and his eyesl9ht
was restored. Mr. Dirksen then
re-entered public life and was
alected limited States Senator
All of this research is resulting
in broader markets for agricultur-
al products. New industries have
sprung up as a direct result OF the
efforts on the part of the agricul-
tural scientists to find more uses
for the products of our farms. 1t
is fascinating to listen to MI. leu
ton discuss this program and con-
template the benefits that will
flow from it.
The Lincoln times., 1956-05-10

A reporter from a big city news
paper was passing the time of day
with an old friend. the editor of

What puzzles me-" he said, is
how you manage to keep up circu-

everybody knows what everyone
else is doing"
That's easy the country editor
replied, they all read the paper
to see who's been caught at it."

Salvation Army Week
To Be Observed Nov 20

National Salvation Army Week,
period for celebrating the organ
ization's progress in helping the
nations unfortunateS, will start
May 20 in hundreds of commu-
mites throughout the Unite d
States.
Noting that The Salvation Army
in the last ten years had provided
100000, 900 free m IS, or the
equivalent of one meal for more
than half of the country'S popu-
lation. National Commander DON
aid Mcmillan reaffirmed The Sal
vation Army's twin goals of ply
Sical regeneration and spiritual re-
birth of the nations unfortunateS.
AS in The Salvation Armys be-
ginning in this country - its first
open-air meeting was held in New
York in 1880 - the organization S
emphasis has been on spiritual
help to the loweSt-income segment
of the population whose members
have few churches. family or other
supporting relationships. Last year
Salvation Army officers and SOL
dierS conducted indoor religious
services attended by 18,657,423
persons.
Guidance to persons who found
themselves facing domestic and
other problems was given last year
by The Army's Family Service Bu-
reaus to 324.039 individuals.
Assistance in catastrophes such
as floods. storms, fires and wrecks
is being provided on a nationwide
scale by The Salvation Army. The
organization cooperateS closely
with other organizations in such
disasters, particularly in the oper-
alton of its growing fleet of mobile
canteenS.
Records of The Salvation Army
fol 1865 show that lassies of The
Army's League of Mercy visited
more than two million persons in
hospitals and homes for the aged
and that spiritual leadership and
recreational opportunities were
offered to almost four million boys
and girls in Salvation Army youth
centerS.

FAMOUS FABLES
BY E. E. EDGAR

EXPERIMENT: The elder
Henry Ford was convinced that
over-eating was one Of the prin-
cipal causes of illness. AS a
result. he ate sparingly. Guests
at his table always ate sparingly
also. Well, almost always.
One day at the plant. Ford
invited one of his executives to
lunch. When the man appeared.
he found to his astonishmelit
that the table was loaded with
food. 81
AS the waiter placed huge por-
tons in front the man, Ford kept
urging him to eat. The execu-
tive obliged by stuffing himself
He could not help noting, how
ever. that Ford had scarcely
tasted the food.
When the meal was over, the
man leaned back in his chair and
said:
That's the best meal I've had
in a long time. -
"t'm glad to hear that" said
Ford. And now 1 want you tc
try one more thing"
He pulled some pills out of his
pocket and handed them to the
other.
Whats this?" asked the ex-
ecutive.
Its a medicine my doctor has
been working on" explained
Ford. ITS supposed to relieve
you when you've eaten too much
Let me know if it works"
