Farm chemurgy forecast to reshape industry and fuel
Prof Ben Peterson told the High Twelve club at the Roosevelt hotel that farm products can replace dwindling natural resources through chemurgy. He cited alcohol from 32 farm crops, plastics from cellulose, and soybeans as key future assets, with gasoline may yield to renewable fuels by 1939. A Negro quartet performed before the talk, then visited George Griner’s home.
