Professor Orland Russell Sweeney, of Iowa State College, called the Corn Belt a great sponge soaking up the energy of the sun. Nowhere else in the white man's world is there another such trap for solar power. This energy is stored in chemical compounds; not lost. True to the laws of physics it is merely changed, can be released again by chemical cunning. Meanwhile, the potential energy of hundreds of millions of tons of industrial raw materials is wasted. This waste material is full of cellulose. Already...
