MONEY IN CORNsTALKs.
MinneaOOliS Tribune.

We have noticed in Eastorn papers of
late the articles of Incorporation of huge
company organized to utilize cornstalks.
The capital stock of the company is fixed
at $5O,OOO,OOO, and it is understood that
they hold certain valuable patents for the
utilization of the pith of the stalk.
We have since seen an interview with a
st. Louis man named Prater, who claims
that the asticles to be manufactured from
cornstalks are staple and will find ready
market. They include celluloid cellulose
smokeless grnpowder, lacquer, cattIefeed
material for roofing. the inside lining for
battle ships, and a product rqually useful
as papior mache; also from the green
cornstalk glucose that will yield better
and finer quality of sugar with less ex-
pense than the sugar cane of Louisiana.
Mr.. Prater predicts that in a few wears
cornstalks will become so valuable by rea-
son of this utilization that farmers, in.
stead of burning them or feeding them to
cattle, will be able to obtain price that
will yield from SIS to $25 an acre in ad-
dition to the value of the corn. Many
mills will be erected for the manufacture
of the articles and a great industry will
be built up.
If these predictions are realized there
Is fortune ahead for our corn farmers.

For sake Of her, across the sea

With years came Fortune fair and fleet,
And rich was I.
Again for me the sun look down
Familiar skies.

Grey as her eyes.
"Alas !" she sighed, 'forget me, now Z.
