...James Louis Kraft, cheese tycoon, went news both profitable and philanthropic last week. His Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corp. used to dump away yearly thousands of gallons of whey (the watery part of milk left after the curds are removed) or return it to farmers for hog wash. That whey contains most of the milk minerals. To make money from this whey Mr. Kraft some time ago gave Rutgers University funds for research. Rutgers fellows developed a powdered whey which chicken farmers use to keep parasites from their fowls. A year ago Kraft developed Velveeta, a mixture of cheese and whey...
...Story. The three "tales" in this little book are called: The Mookse and the Gripes, The Muddest Thick That Was Ever Heard Dump, The Ondt and the Gracehoper.

Twenty pounds of pulped debris will develop 100 cu. ft. of gas, enough to light and heat the average farm house for a day. Corn stalks from 40 acres will give a winter's supply of gas. After the gas is exhausted the sediment in the tank can be purified and made into paper.-Illinois' Arthur Moses Buswell...
...welldrained, convenient spot, dig a pit 8 ft. square by 9½ ft. deep. Board up the sides with cheap lumber. Dump a layer of coarse gravel on the bottom. Over the hole build a shack with a double plank floor insulated with building paper. When freezing weather arrives pour two to four gallons of water into the pit each day. By the time of spring thaw there will be a block of ice eight feet square by more than six feet thick, on which perishables may be preserved. The ice will not all melt before the autumn freezes come...
...idea that we look upon migration as a solution of our unemployment problem is just humbug!" cried Privy Seal Jim. "We have no desire to dump our people anywhere. They are not decadent! They have passed through too many trials and tribulations to go under without a fight, and they are not going under...
