Ag Products Use
In Industry Topic
Of Cliein Review
The Nebraska Section of the
American Chemical society met
on the campus Friday night to
review the widely expanded use
of agricultural products as a
source of industrial chemicals in
the postwar era. .
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."
Included in the speech was
praise for the fundamental re
search work being done at state
universities and colleges, particu
larly in plant breeding experi
ments to improve the quality and
yield, "such as the fine work be
ing done at the University of Ne
braska on sorghums."
