they have been too often told In
the past they had and which they
now full well know they do not

as it should be. From time im

been regarded as almost the one
industry open to all free men.and
for which little or no training oer

' The speaker on Friday, Wil
liam Ayrea Eliot, as president of
the Oregon Audubon Society is, of
course, deenlv Interested in the
protection of the- birds. -
The Audubon society is an or
ranization of bird lovers who
irork to educate public pinion to
4 proper appreciation and protec
tion of bird life and to cultivate
in them a love of birds,' to com
muaicate, knowledge f and.- en
thusiasm for them to others. -
The term Audubon society was
;xlned by George Bird Grinnell in
18?- and an organization for the
protection of birds at that time
started by him attained a member
ship of 48,868. It was later dis
continued, but the name and pur
pose remained in memory of John
James Audubon, a distinguished
American ornithologist, born in
1780 in Louisiana.
John James Audubon, born of
French parents, was educated in
Paris. Upon leaving school in
France he , returned to America
where he occupied himself with
his ornithological studies. He
spent much time in watching the
habits of birds. Often he took long
walks through the forest regions
of uninhabited sections of our ear
ly country, sometimes being gone
for months upon such Journeys, in
the course of which he perfected
many sketches of birds.
With a mass of data on .bird
life accumulated in 15 years of
such excursions, he proceeded to
Philadelphia to publish a work on
birds of North America. While
lie' was absent from the city, all
his papers were destroyed by rats.
and he was obliged to go back
again to his ibird study and sketch
ing. Four years later lie took Ills
designs to England and In 1H0
appeared the first volume of "The
Birds of America."
Mr. Eliot says that the society
Is promoted from two view-points.
from the sentimental and esthetic
view-point and from the economic
view-point.
There are a number who are in
terested in birds as birds, as crea
tures of beauty, whose existence
calls for protection from a purely
sympathetic standpoint.
Others are interested In birds
because of the work they dor in
protecting growing thins. These
fdrm perhaps the larger class,-.
"It is the purpose of the state so
ciety to ?work f rom- both these
view-points.-, -

There are many people today
who look upon the tariff as a
political question. If we grant
this, then all political parties
hence forth must epouse the tariff
as the salvation of our country.
Those of us of Democratic leaning
as well as those 6f 'Republican
leaning realize more and more
fully that the Fordney-McCumber
tariff is the greates tariff ever
written for America. The men
who sponsored and defended this
bill and who secured its passage
are responsible for the energies of
a nation having been directed into
intensive industrial activity, with
the result of spurring the mental
powers of the individual to higher
and higher attainments in the
realms of discovery and invention.
Had it not been for the tariff
of 1922 with its strong protection
for organic chemistry, this enorm
ous Industry would have been lost
to America and thus the greatest
industry of all time left in the
control of foreign powers. As it
was. Heaven smiled upon us and
the manufacture of organic chemi
cals has progressed by leaps and
bounds to an extent little dreamed
of even by the early financial pro
moters.. It may not be generally
known that the total annual out
put of all our iron and steel plants
is SCARCELY ONE-FOURTH IN
VALUE compared with that of
our manufactured food products
which, -exclusive of all farm
staples used directly as foods,
amounts to $13,000. OOO.OOo annually.

; But, ; it .will be asked at this
point, what has all this discussion
of the benefits of the Fordney
McCumber tariff to the American
organic . chemical industry got to
do with the present state of af
fairs In American agriculture.
In brief, just this, which; is both!
our agriculturists who do not see
the change that suffer most. Ie
began two or three decades ago
when scientific farming was first
talked of in earnest; it is now be
ing completed with the scientific
utilization of the products of the
farm. A "rlht farmer" may be
a more picturesque individual than
an "organic chemist," but in the
survival of the fittest, the "dirt
farmer" will need more than hia
picturesqueness if he Is to compete
with his colleague who has seen
the handwriting on the wall, and
who accordingly regards his farm
as a chemical plant and himself
a chemist.
The time Is not far away when
the feeding of corn to hogs will be
classed with that other unholy
act, the feeding of raw bituminous
coal to a furnace for heat supply
A Chemical Tnffustry
Staple agricultural products
must not be supplied to tbe con
sumer directly, but must come to
him indirectly through the chemi
cal manufacturer. In other words
the valuable by-products and co
products that lurk in grains and
all other, agricultural staples
must needs - be removed in order
that the main products can be sup
plied at lower costs. The extent
to which this is being done and
can be done can best be brought
out by a discussion of the accom
plishments and possibilities in con
nection with a few leading agri
cultural products.
Oats is used primarily as a feed
for livestock and for the manu
facture of cereals. From the hulls
about 10 per cent by weight of
furfural is easily obtainable
through a simple steam distilla
tion process. This furfural is al
ready finding a market. From the
furfural we Bhall derive a large
number of chemical compounds of
considerable value. Though the
hulls constitute but 30 per cent
of the weight of the oats the
chemical compounds derivable
from this fraction will certainly
approach a VALUE EQUAL TO
THAT OF THE REMAINING" 70
PER CENT of the oat kernels.
Sugar cane has been cultivated
primarily for its sugar content
but one-fourth of the total weight
of the sugar cane consists of the
tops, and these may serve admir
ably for silage. One-fourth of
all the sugar cane and sorghum
stalks grown in our southern
states is now furnishing a by
product for further manufacture.
In Louisiana we note the average
yield per acre of 20 tons of sugar
cane stalks, which, after extrac
tion of the 10 per cent sugar con
tent, yield a bagasse capable of
giving another 10 per cent of the
original weight of cane, In the
form of dry fiber, even stronger
than weed fiber. ;Frora this fiber
is now' manufactured celeotex, a
kind of board of non-heat con
ducting properties, especially
suited for the lining of refrigera
tor cars and Interior walls of
buildings, in this connection, we
may assume that the stalks of
wheat and corn will come into
use in the preparation of similar
but coarser, wood substitutes.
Of greatest interest in the last
few years is the derelopmet of the
soya bean industry. This bean Is
distinctly rich in nitrogen. Soya
bean oil Is used for making lard
and butter substitutes, for soaps
and for edible oil. It is also used
in the making of water-proofing
materials, enamels, varnishes, and
printing inks. The oil cake Is an
excellent stock food and finds use

food for Invalids and Infanta

About 25 pounds of sugars' can' be
made from a bushel of 66 pounds
of corn and a residue, of about
15 pounds of molasses collected.
From the corn hulls we obtain
gluten (14.5 pounds from each
bushel). This is a valuable tissue
building food for livestock. From
this same source we also obtain

cent assimilable organic, phos

which "amounts, all told, to 20,-
000,000 tons of our total crop of
3,000,000,000 bushels, may be
made to yield, by simple steam
distillation, an adhesive substance
valuable as briguetting material
and also an appreciable quantity
of furfural, previously mentioned
In connection with oat hulls.
From the corn which enters the
butyl alcohol Industry; we obtain
per bushel about ten to eleven
pounds of solvents made up of
about 3 per cent aceton. 60 per
cent normal butyl alcohol, and
10 per cent ethyl alcohol and cer
tain high boiling acids, all of
which are meeting with increasing
demands In the industries. .In
this fermentation', of starch, pre
sent In corn to 60 oer cent by
weight, a large quantity of car
bon dioxide and hydrogen in equal
volume is simultaneously evolved.
These gases constitute a weight
almost twice that of the combined
solvents, me remaining 40 per
cent, or non starchy materials of
the corn left after fermentation,
contains 10 per cent of protein
and considerable fiber and pen
tosans. This residual mixture
when carefully dried is well
adopted as food stock and will be
returned to the farm in ever in
creasing proportions. The gase
ous hydrogen evolved in these fer
mentation processes is soon to be
employed for the synthesis of am
monia by combination with atmos
pheric nitrogen and thus is in
sured of low priced ammonia. The
ammonia in turn may then be
made to react with the waste car
bon dioxide under pressure to
yield urea, one of the most desir
able forms of fixed nitrogen for
When we reflect upon the great
waste in our corn today some 40
per cent for swine, 20 per cent for
horses and mules, 15 per cent for.
cattle, and only 10 per cent for
man and 15 per cent for manu
facture, we know full well that
the chemical utilization of this
crop is Inefficent. More of the
corn must ome Into fermentation
processes and more soya beans
must be raised to furnish greater
and greater amounts of food for
livestock. These vitamines which
are present in the corn and have
such beneficial influence upon
hogs must be .isolated and, sup
plied to the hogs through some
other medium than raw corn. The
coming utilization of corn stalks
In chemical processes -will natur
ally lower the price of the corn
grains and it mat' still be possible
to feed livestock with appreciable
quantities of corn without en
cou raging chemical waste.
Worthy of particular attention
on the part of southern land own
ers is the assuredly growing Im
portance of peanut oil. From this
oil, hydrogenation, an excellent
substitute for lard is obtainable.
Hogs take particular delight in
rooting out the . ungarnered pea
nuts left in the ground.. Each
acre can thus afford nutriment to
fatten 30 hogs up to within three
weeks of sale when corn, for th

artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus).
or the sunt lower that grows wild
on western lands, will soon be do
mesticated and diverted into
chemical manufacture. The war
food committee of the Royal Soci
ety of Great Britain reported this
plant capable of producing the
greatest amount of food per acre!
It can be grown on waste land
and without cultivation. The av
erage yield per acre may be made
to approach 20 tons, whereas tbe
Irish potato yields not more than
3 tons per acre. Freezing does
not affect the tubers; hence they
may be left in the ground until
needed. These tubers contain a
carbohydrate known as inulin, a
product hydrolyzable into levulose
or fructose, with a yield amount
ing to 10 or 12 per cent of the
weight of the tuber. This fruc
tose is 50 per cent sweeter than
ordinary sugar and its prepara
tion in pure crystalline form has
just been completed by investiga
tors at the bureau of standards.
Although this sugar is somewhat
deliquescent, this need for inter
fere with many of its possible
uses. When tormented the carbo
hydrates of the artichoke yield
alcholol and acetone but this fer
menting proceeds somewhat more
slowly than in tbe ordinary fer
mentation of gluccose. The arti
choke may also be used as food
in the same manner as potatoes
and the seeds undoubtedly will
find a market for the production
of oils and meal.
There thus appears no end of
possibilities for farm lands and
likewise it la evident that the
adaption of all sorts of agricul
tural wastses to a multiplicity of
uses has only Just begun. There
are as many possibilities ahead
of this enterprise as there were a
century ago for the utilization of
coal tar. This statement may
seem utterly absurd to the layman
but TO THE CHEMIST IT IS A
CERTAINTY.
Coming Age of Cellulose
Just as the nineteenth century
from one chemical standpoint may
be regarded as the coal tar age,
so will the chemical progress of
the twentieth century center
around the chemical adaption of
cellulose. It is this that brings us
directly to the crux of the entire
priblem of agriculture and it ia
this also which ought to make the
analogy between the farm and the
organic chemical plant perfectly
obvious. The predictions made
presage the continuation of pros
perity in the modern chemical in
dustry. The , manufacturers in
this industry, as indicated above
have prospered greatly through
our protective tariff policy. The
same tariff that has protected the
the industries manufacturing ofz.
ganlc chemicals extend -their re
searches and increase their devel
opments," MORE AND MORE Will
agricultural products ner vinto
these Industries and hence more,
and more will, the farmers emerge
from their complete and total de
pendence upon ' consumers mar
kets. This" development is surely
coming, although its progress ap
pears not so rapid ad the agricul
turist may desire. Those who. talk
of solving the- farmers' troubles
simply by marketing surplus farm
products live only for today, even
aa they see it. WE SHALL BE
IMPORTING LARGE QUANTI
TIES OF GRAIN WITHIN TEN
YEARS. ;
In this connection we must not
belittle the efforts already put
forth by agriculturists and manu
facturers to bring agriculture into
better economic position. Our
agricultural colleges , and farm
bureaus have. everywhere outdone
themselves in the dissemination
of scientific methods making for
Increased production on our lands.
The farmers have applied well
these teachings, but have they not
overlooked the first and foremost
point in an business tne creating
of an Increased demand before
building up an increased supply?
.now this is all changed. The de
mand is increasing enormously
from year to year." Our farm pro
ducts are becoming , increasingly
the greatest source of raw mater
ial for manufacturing plants
second only, for the time being, to
coal tar in importance. Our farm
ers therefore must cooperate with
American industrialists and. in
close association with, them work
for their own good and the good
ol alL '.. .. -
The Tariff Problem
There Is thus, as .we must see
It, no tariff problem between the
industrial east and the agricul
tural west. There hare been signs
In the past which, made it look
as though this were so. but they
are passing or already gone. Every
