"Hundreds of students in scores

Dr. Boucher. "It has been shown
beyond question that there is a
high correlation between the qual

Sandstedt and others at the Ne

"waxy" end sperm of Leoti sor
ghum lends itself to manufactur
ing the type of starch secured orig

Indies. This supply has now been
cut off by the war.

The bright spot in developments

chemistry department already
has tested some sample nd
