Dr. Albert Elder, research di rector for the Corn Products Re fining company, speaking before the group, said: "Although the principal use of agricultura prod ucts is, and no doubt will remain to be, for food purposes, the uti lization of farm crops as raw ma terials for the manufacture of chemicals has increased consider ably in the past 25 years. War time research has resulted in the development of new' chemicals from farm crops which should greatly stimulate farm chemurgy in the postwar years."
