Wells, for many years connected with the U. S. Department of Agriculture Laboraâ€" tory at Madison, Wis. Through the wizardry of Dr. Wells the golden stacks of straw that mark the end of the wheat harvest throughout the: West will be transmuted into stacks ' of golden coin for their owners. ‘ For many years the federal goyâ€" ernment and state experiment staâ€" tions have been seeking a way to turn waste byâ€"products of the farm into 2 source of profit for their owners. After much ° experimenting â€" with wheat straw Dr. Wells perfects a process whereby the straw, after beâ€" ing cooked to a pulp in immense cauldrons and combined with certain other chemicals can be formed into thick rigid "boards" of great strucâ€" tural strength that are virtually perâ€" fect insulation to heat, cold or sound.
