No End to Wonders Dehydration and Chemurgy Drive Farm Prosperity
American agriculture will reshape after the war with dehydration and chemurgy turning farm crops into industrial materials. Dehydration cuts volume, ships more efficiently, and flavors foods, while chemurgy turns milk, soybeans, and other crops into plastics, fibers, and rubber substitutes. Fertile soil remains key, with recommendations to reinvest farm income into soil fertility after wartime demands end.

Forces of Pressure and Steam Spawn Volcanoes Deep Below
Article explains volcanic eruption begins with deep earth pressures from gravity and gases. Lava moves up a pipe to the crater, eruptions blast and then crusts may seal the pipe. Minor activity can persist with a small lava fountain. Bombs have been used to control eruptions on Mauna Loa and in Hawaii.

Substituting Paper for Metal Cuts Steel Use Significantly
About 700 million tobacco cans once steel packaged are now replaced by paper. The switch saves about 80 million pounds of steel annually. The food industry also shifts from metal to paper packaging, reducing metal demand and boosting paper use nationwide.
