tome hope for future improvement
in farm conditions. It is one of
the most important things that
the Federal Government is doing
for the farmer. .To the South, it
will mean new demands for farm
products, new industries and new
lields of employment. As the
Government has helped agricul
ture through better weather re
porting, insect and pest control
and the handling of surpluses, it
is now strengthening its experi
ments in finding new uses for
surplus products.
While the value of this large
scale research cannot be overesti
mated and carries benefits that
accrue in business and industry as
well as the farmer, it is a type of
Federal activity that gets too lit
tle public attention. It is not
headline news. Only when some
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE. ELKIN. NORTH CAROL FN A
new and revolutionary discovery
is made do our people generally
learn of the effort made.
President Roosevelt has shown
a high degree of interest in the de
velopment of new uses of southern
| agricultural products. In connec
, tion with pending legislation tg
establish a regional research l» b
j oratory for this purpose, the Pres
ident suggested that the states co
operate to the extent of provid
ing buildings and grounds, -say
ing: "I consider the aims and pur
poses of the project highly merit
orious and would be willing to fa
vor the Federal Government doing
its part to further them."
More recently, the Government
has set aside SIOO,OOO to be used
for experimenting with a view to
expanding the use of cotton and
cotton products. A wide variety
and novel fields, are undoubtedly
cvailable for the use of cotton,
ranging from windbreaks to con
trol soil-blowing to its use in the
building of highways, which has
v/on widespread attention.
There is some reason for the
belief that when new farm legis
lation is drafted it will contain a
provision for the establishment of
regional research laboratories to
find new uses for farm products.
Where those laboratories will be
located is yet to be decided, but
whether in Nortth Carolina or
elsewhere the benefits to farmers
will be equal.
There are many possibilities for
the extension of present uses of
agricultural products in industry.
Already research is underway
that indicates that large quanti
ties of sweet potatoes may be used
to manufacture starches used in
the textile industry and now im
ported. New oils, new chemicals,
can be produced on the farm.
Some chemists say that there is
even some possibility of synthe
sizing rubber from the forest pro
duct turpentine.
New industrial products having
special properties are expected
from the processing of vegetable
oils, such as linseed, soybean and
tung oils. Industrial plants are al
ways on the alert for new chemi
cals and means of producing them.
There is also hope that the Con
gress will give more and more at
tention to protecting the Ameri
can market, where oils and chem
icals imported can be
produced in this country. Some
progress has been made and more
laboratory work on the part of
the Government will undoubtedly
impress additional members of
Congress with the new opportuni
ties for benefits to the farmer.
There is a growing appreciation
in Congress for the important
work being done by the men and
women in the Federal service who
are quietly going about their work
of aiding the farmer. The work of
extension agents, the men who are
out fighting pests and insects, the
crop reporters and others, has
never been fully appreciated. New
er agencies with their army of
press agents have been more in
ihe limelight.
The great majoirty of Federal
employees, and state employees as
well, who are making their activ
ities their life work. They are im
mune to politics. They daily go
about their laboratory and field
work quietly and with a degree
of interest displayed by perhaps
no other class of Federal workers.
The present effort to help the
farmer by developing new uses for
agricultural products, will also
give loyal Federal employees new
tools with which to do a job in
which they are vitally interested.
