Lard, So Why Make^OßK So Roly-Poly? SUBJECT IS DISCUSSED Omaha. Neb. "Streamlined hogs" will soon begin to replace the roly-poly, hardy porkers which have been the traditional "mort gage lifters" and the pride of the combelt farmers. This forecast, was one of the dominant themes of the midwestem conference of agriculture, industry and re search which drew an attendance of about 500 here this week, in cluding representatives from 28 colleges and organizations in 14 states. It was intertwined with discus sions of impending trends of im port to agriculture and serious questioning of the rw tionalMic objections of some of the chem urgists attending the conference. Why streamlined hogs? ; For practical reasons and not mere styling, it appeared J Housewives are using less and less lard each year as chemists perfect the pro cesses of making vegetable cook ing oils. Consequently less and less and less market for the fatty type animal. But if the combelt farmers be gin to develop leaner hogs to yield meaty bacon akin to that which has won such favor in Eu rope, what will become of the millions of bushels of corn which in normal crop years bring such bad dreams to the crop reduction ists in Washington? Dr. H. E. Barnard, director of research, Farm Chemurgie Coun cil, Dearborn, Mich;, forecast that 20 years from now few hogs will see corn in its natural state. The farmer will haul his crop to a chemical processing plant, he be lieves, where the fattening starch F. A. Brendle & Son HEADQUARTERS For LAWN AND GARDEN SEED Elkin, N. C.

"Bright Day, through a fast mile at the new harness track here. will be removed for making syr ups and alcohol for motor fuel. The residue of glutten and oil press will then go back to the hog pen. That the shadow from the tall corn stalks is already beginning to lengthen and rival that from the derricks in the oil fields was indicated in talks by Dr. Henry Q. Knight, chief of the bureau of chemistry and soils, United States Department of Agriculture and Dr. Leo M. Christensen of Atchi son, Kansas. Dr. Knight said that In the not distant future automobile motors would be developed to utilize solid fuel made from starch in corn and other crops. Dr. Christensen, operator of what is believed to be the first commercial plant in this country manufacturing motor fuel from agricultural products, said that at normal corn prices alcohol can now be made for about 17 cents a gallon. A mixture of 10 per cent alcohol and 90 per cent gas oline has the same antiknock qualities as "premium gasoline," he claimed, while a mixture of 15 per cent alcohol has a higher an ti-knock rating than any "pure gasoline" now available. Forecasts were made that in a few years the alcohol motor fuel requirements of the nation would make for the farmer a market for his corn more than 20 times as great as that now offered by the distilleries. A nationalistic emphasis was apparent in talks by some che murgists who stressed the devel opment of processes which would utilize American raw materials, make unnecessary "foreign im portations" and undetermine the reciprocal tariff policy of the State Department. This led the chairman of the panel discussion at the conclud ing session, Dr. T. W. Schutz, of the lowa State College depart ment of economics and sociology, to inquire: 1. Is it desirable to separate carefully and completely research objectives from political aims and doctrines? 2. Is it good public policy to advocate that the new uses which research finds for agricultural products should be introduced and forced into consumptloh channels by means of special tax es, bounties, tariffs or any other form of subsidy? The concensus seemed affirm ative on the first question, but speakers shied away from the sec ond, and the conference did not follow through to adoption of a policy on protection of new in dustries. The council voted to hold an : other farm chemurgie conference in in 1938.
