...Tsitsin thinks he almost has it-his No. 34,085 meets most specifications. This strain, a cross between wheat and couch grass grows summer or winter, is drought-and rustproof, pollenizes itself, thrives even in salty soil (producing salty wheat), and has a gluten content of 60%, equal to that of the best annual wheats. Experimental plantings have yielded two crops (totaling about 68 bushels an acre) a year. No. 34,085 still has some serious defects: it bears wrinkled grain, is hard to mill, is not as resistant to frost as Tsitsin would like. But foreign experts who have...
Mazein is Corn Products Refining Co.'s trade name for zein, a protein substance which occurs in corn. Chemist William Bentley Newkirk of Corn Products has spent seven years making mazein into a 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. The resultant plastic, soluble in both paint solutions and water, is a sort of cross between casein and bakelite. Uses: buttons, laminated boards, high-speed printing ink ingredient, waterproof and oilproof varnish...
...corn is first "soaked" or "steeped" in a dilute sulphurous acid water for approximately 36 hours. This soaking removes the soluble mineral matter, gums, dextrins, sugars and proteins to make "steep water." The germ is next removed, and expressed for oil. 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. For each bushel of corn ground, approximately...
Probing more basically into the world wheat situation, Grand Meunier Vilgrain declared that French wheat kernels have been of poor quality since the War, and do not now contain a sufficient proportion of protein and gluten. This effect has been wrought by the post War shortage of man power on the farms, which has induced land owners to plant a species of wheat seeds giving a greater harvest with less care, but an inferior grade of wheat. For this reason the Grands Moulins de Paris bought 10,000,000 bushels of prime U. S. wheat for milling, last year...
...Donald Ogden Stewart's technique is borrowed for an interview with Golfer Bobby Jones, aged one, in a lavatory. Pleased with himself, Mr. Lardner then interviews Horace Greeley in a bathtub. Toward the end of the book a Laplander lands in his lap. They marry and live in Gluten, N. Y. Divorce ensues. Queen Marie sings "Dat watahmelyon hangin' on de vine." He marries a Swiss called Geezle. He reforms the theatre by undressing the audience. In the last chapter, not without justice, he dies fishing for hake, suggesting posthumously and provocatively that it was stomach hake...
