Speedier Process Expected
to Benefit Vegetable
Growing Areas.
WASHINGTON, Sept. IX (A!1)
The agriculture depart meut ha.-
announced a new discovery niakinu
posfiide the rapid (leh)diatiou of
vegetables,
Offfciuls said (he process may
prove ol )i rent benefit to Hie veget
able liKiwini; regions oi' the 1'acific
noilhwerft and I'lah.
They sai'l It will provide a sat
isfactory method for storing fleshy
plain materials like potatoes with
out his.'; from rotting, frec.ii)K,
respiration, moulding and eiuynie
act ion.
The new pi'oceMH, the depaitiueul
said, provides first for exposure id'
the vegetable to the vapor of a
chemical which causes it to be
come waler-soaked. In this condi
tion, the Juice Is more easily press
ed out fin- immediate use or for
conceiitralion for future use.
Chemicals round lo he errective
included toluene, chloroform, ether,
chnzol, petrol el her. carbon tetra
chloride, sulphur dioxide and chlor
ine gases.
Ill licellt tests. Sliced KW'eel po
tatoes, carrots, rutabaga, beets au1
green beans wen exposed to the
vapor of carbon tetrachloride. All
we I'm waier-soaked in an hour. The
Juice was then pressed out. It was
from ;u lo s'i per cent of the total
Weight of the law vegetables.
Juice Keeps Indefinitely
"The pressed vegetable residue
of vegetables Healed according to
this process, Hie department
said, "dried lo equilibrium within
:tii hours. This contrasts with the
older and more costly process In
which thin slices of untreated
vegetables, particularly sweet pota
toes, after long periods of air dry
ing, still contain fiesh tissue on the
inside.
"The juice, concentrated to a
syrup, and the pressed residue, re
duced to Hie :fir-diy comliiton, will
Uvep HidcltnllMty for future, use and
manufacture."
Or. K. K. Hopkins, chemical ap
pointee working In the laboraloty
of I he new sweet potato starch
plant at Laurel, Miss,, discovered
Hie new process. i..e department
said, while he and other chemists
were seeking a method of prevent

In storage.

Heavier Carryover Prospect
Will Call for Further
Crop Reduction.
A warning to wheat growers of
the nation of the dangers of over
production next year, recently ia
su-d by the bureau of agricultural
economic, has been hacked up hy
an advance statement from the ag
ricultural adjustment udminist ra
tion indicating that the probable
provisions of the 19H8 agricultural
conservation program will call for
a further reduction in noil deplet
ing crop acreages on tho part of
those who participate in the pro
gram.
The present situation regarding
wheat has been emphasized re-t-eiitly
by an analysis issued by Hie
extension economist at Oregon I
State college, in which It was'
shown tliLt while present prices of
wheat are the mojt favorable in
many years because of the world
shortage, lt is highly improtmbte
that even the increased e::oria of
tho current marketing year will
succeed iu preventing an excep
tionally large carryover next July.
Carryover to be Heavier
Latest estimates are that the car
ryover next July will be more than
l!Pt million hush els, as compared
with a normal carryover of about
125 million bushels. If present fa
vorable prices result in an equal
plaining of wheat for next year's
crop, the combined production from
average yields plus the carryover
would give America one of the
largest wheat surpluses in its history.
With this situation In mind, the
AAA is advising winter wheat pro
ducers and other farmers who grow
fall-sown crops, that the. probable
provisions in the 1!(3K program will
call for seeding of soil depleting
crops of not to exceed NO per cent
of the 1!t:i7 soil depleting base
acreage. ThU suggestion is made
at this time for the guidance of
farmers who need this information ed in Washington, following the
before the full details of the 193$ ! collection of recommendations from
program are announced. The out- j all parts of the couutry, is not yet
line of the program beiu? develop- completed.
