Public Health Service and the Rockefeller Institute suggest spraying the nostrils with 4% sodium alum or tannic acid solution five or six days in succession in alternate weeks.

Hull and fibre are then separated, leaving corn "gluten," and starch, which are separated by flotation. The corn "gluten" which contains approximately 30% unremoved starch, is combined with the hull, fibre and steep water to make a product - corn gluten feed, which is sold to the dairy industry...

In 1929 Monsanto absorbed Rubber Service Laboratories with a plant in Nitro, W. Va. for producing chemicals used in rubber processing. Same year Monsanto acquired the Buffalo, N.
