30 spoke Edwin II. CraInp, OF the great
Philadelphia shipbuil,ling firm to Con
gressInan Hull of Iowa and Senator Thurs
ton of Nebraska at a dinner in this city a
few nights ago, says the Washington cor
respondent OF the Philadelphia Inquirer
Mr.. Cramp W ent on to explain that he had
discovered many wonderful uses for the
stalks. He had had n chemist making ex
periments for nearly two years
Some time ago he discovered that the
stalk S could he made into ctllulosc, which,
when used in line ships OF war, would
make them practically WATERPROOF. This
discovery was Ina tie public at the time. but
since Chen Mr.. Crainp has found many other
still more wonderful uses to which CORR
stalks can be put. Through his chemist he
has developed an absolutely snnokeless pow
der, which is far superior Ia the European
product.
Pursuing his Investigations further, he
has discovered that the elements enter
ing into the composition Of the stalk of
the corn can he utilized for the produc
ton of food for cattle better than any
thing now on the market.
Other uses TO which the hitherto de-
spised stalks can be put are the production
OF alcohol, mattings, paper, and carpets
The experiments are still being conducted
and Mr.. Crainp expects to find still other
uses for the stalks.
Mr.. Cranp explained to his Congress
sional friends the practical results o'
his experiments and accidental discoveries
and they Were dazedby the enormous pros
poets opened up for them. Plants for the
production of all these various articles. said
Mr.. Cramp, could Toe eject ed for 81 so 900
each, and they would consume all the
cornstalks within a radius Of twenty five
miles in any of the corn regions Of the
country. --i,7 = '--..-
Hitherto the farmers have been burning
their cornstalks. which they have regarded
as utterly useless. Now they will be able to
sell the stalks for So a ton An acre yields
three tons A farmer with 100 acres Of
corn land could add $500 to his annual
earnings.
Mr.. Cramp proceeded TO show that the
direct benefits to the farmers Of the six
great corn-gruwing States OF the West
Kansas. Nebraska. Iowa. Illinois, Indiana,
and Ohio-would be over 1926 ,OOO, 900
per annum on an acreage OF less than 40,

Mr.. Cramp said he was prepared TO invest
very large sum of money in a chain Of
manufactures for the biproducts of the
corn. and that he would a. certainly get his
friends into the scheme with him.
