A New Corn Cob Industry By FREDERIC J. HASKIN

WFHINGTON, D. C, July 1.

Coraobs have their' uses other than as hl-fodder and asraw material for

pes known as the barnyard

haums, so deax to the hearts

kkers who pride themselves on connoisseurs. Scientists in the

of Chemistry fti the Depart-

pf Agriculture wly have been

expanenting announce' that they haviroduced several valuable by-

proc ts from the humble cob, and it is e cted that their discoveries will be c lmerclalized in the nair future.

pepund. specialists or tne Jtsureau

rials used are chiefly formaldehyde and phenol, or carbolic acid. These two compounds, chemically combined, condense as a solid which is highly valuable as the basis for making such articles as those enumerated by Dr. Sinner. Thorough tests have demonstrated furfural to be an excellent substitute for formaldehyde in this work. Formaldehyde has its source in methanol, or wood alcohol, which is produced largely from the destructive distillation of hard woods such as birch, oak, maple and elm. Hence it is seen that the use of furfural becomes a measure of conservation. Dr. Frederick R. La Forge, who, with Gerald H. Main, has been conducting the experiments in the Bureau of Chemistry, reports that he was able to run an automobile engine with furfural. However, because of its high boiling point it cannot be used with the type of carburetor suited to gasoline and there are some difficulties in the way of its development as a motor fuel that will be commercially valuable. Two grades of adhesive are recov

ered from corn cobs, say3 the Bu-

hesive a considerable quantity of acid! is liberated. It passes off with the vapor, is condensed and recovered as acetate of lime. At present, the acetate of lime from which by far the greater part of commercial acetic acid is made, is obtained by distilling wood and is very impure. The acetate of lime obtained from corn cobs is almost chemicaHy pure. The residue after these substances have been recovered from the cobs is an almost pure cellulose which possesses very little fiber. It can be used in the manufacture of dynamite, and linoleum, and in every line of work where wood flour is now used. It- will be used also as a filler for many kinds of paper. That the new corn cob industry may prove to be an important one 13 apparent as jit is pointed out by the Department of Agriculture that the United States produces from 2,500,-

000,000 to 3.000,000,000 bushels of

corn every year, which means fromi

18,000.000 to 20,000,000 tons of cobs. Not alL the cobs are available for manufacturing purposes, of course, for a large pergcentage is scattered over the farms of the country or fed with the corn. Large quantities, however, are concentrated at central points and are easily available. The plant which is now being projected will operate on a basis of 100

tons a day. Three shellers will supply 24,000 tons of cobs a year. Such a

piani, u is estimatea. would recover

about a ton and a half of furfural a

day as a by-product, and a considera

bly larger quantity can be obtained

from the cob adhesive by a compar

atively Simple process. This adhesive,1 as has been stated, is produced in the first grade in quantities equal to 45 per cent of the weight of the cobs. The method of producing the furfu

ral is anything but complicated. Tho corn cobs, with some water, are placed in a cylinder or pressure cooker and steam at about 135 pounds pressure is turned in. After cooking about two hours the furfural comes out of the cobs and is blown off with steam, passed through a condenser and collected as a solution of furfural in water. This solution is then distilled in a special apparatus for the separation of the furfural from the water. Coincident with this new discovery ihe Department of Agriculture states that the yield of corn per acre in this country could be doubled within a few years, and this could be accomplished without additional work or expense. It is not to be understood that it is desirable to double the present corn crop, but' that it is desirable to produce enough to meet all requirements on a smaller number of acres and with less labor. If 60 bushels are raised on one acre instead of on two, the labor of plowing, harrowing, planting, cultivating and harvesting is greatly reduced. Corn suggests hogs and the development of by-products recalls the saying that in modern packing establishments the only thing about the pig that is not saved and utilized is his squeal. One of these days Government specialists may tackle that problem and solva it.

(By Associated Press) LONDON, July 1. Many people aro demanding that - the London county council allow the playing of cricket, tennis and other games in the parks on Sundays. The movement has the support of most of the newspapers, and not a few of the clergy. They say if people go to church in the morning they ought to be allowed to play games in the afternoon. "London spent yesterday out of doors," says the Daily Chronicle. "Ii was a perfect Sunday for games. Every private cricket ground, bowling green and tennis ground was occupied. The only ground where tennis was forbidden were those controlled by the London county council. While

members of the county council themselves play tennis on Sunday, they prohibit others from doing so in the public -parks. Thousands of young men and wayien who would have played, but for Jie county council kill-joy ban, dawdled ground doing nothing. Cislike Sunday Ban. It is tte' same with cricket. The thousands of pitches controlled by the county codicil are not allowed to b-i used on Sitrday, and boys were standing about i smoking cigarettes who would have been playing games but for the Sabbatarian fetish: 'No games on Sundays.'. There is a growing storm of publi c anger at this prohibition of Sundr'' games." "I shall certainly see the triumph of this movement for Sunday games," says a reformer who is behind the movement. "In England every Briton has the right to get drunk, if he wants to, between certain hours on Sunday. It is abtsurd to permit a ban to get drunk on '.Sunday, but prohibit rim from playing .games in the public parks on Sunday. A man can not get drunk while playing games. Therefore I am for games on Sunday, if only in the interest of temperance."
