...with waterproof clothes, lightens his pack with aluminum utensils and condensed food rations. Napoleon's legionnaires, weighed down by bread and flour, carried packs that weighed 58 lb. The modern U. S. foot-slogger's pack weighs 31 lb. His emergency ration consists of nucleo-casein, malted milk, egg albumen, powdered cane sugar, cocoa butter-proteins, amino-bodies, fat and carbohydrates...
Since then the "chemurgic movement" has gathered headway with soybeans for plastics and automobile enamels; casein (from milk) for fabrics and plastics; tung oil for paints; Southern slash pine and yellow pine for newsprint; furfural (for plastics, oil refining, wood resin processing) from oat hulls; anti-freeze fluids and fuel alcohol from cull potatoes; cotton for binding material in roads, pecan shells for charcoal. So far, however, chemurgy has not much helped the mass of U. S. farmers, as Congress' election-year fondling of bedeviled agriculture well shows...
...successful plastic. He obtains it from gluten-a residue of starch manufacture which is ordinarily sold as hog & cattle feed at 2? per lb.-by extracting it with solvents, purifying and precipitating it.

Better glues were made from casein, a protein ingredient of milk, and from soybeans. In 1912 Dr. Leo Hendrik Baekeland, father of plastics, took out a patent on a synthetic resin for plywood filler, but did not start to exploit it until 1932. In 1926 a German chemist, Dr. T. E. Goldschmidt, developed a filler made of tissue paper impregnated with phenolic resin. This made a bond so firm that the sandwich was stronger weight for weight than steel. It was also waterproof and bacteria-proof...
World-Famous Paintings needed 250,000 gallons of milk (for casein) to make the coated paper on which it is printed. Some of its time-tried favorites: The Last Supper, Mona Lisa, The Birth of Venus, The Laughing Cavalier, Shoeing the Baby Mare, The Angelus, Mrs. Siddons, The Music Lesson, The Blue Boy, Whistler's Mother. Editor Kent was allowed no say in deciding which pictures were to be used. Says he: "Had the selection of pictures been left to me it would have come to include many that are now in the volume.
