Utilizing Waste.

The greatest profits made in the M
dustrial world today are gained from
the y-products CLEANED from what
was formerly considered useless waste.
The waste which formerly polluted
our streams or made unsightly dumps
has been subjected to the scrutiny of
the chemist and the inventor The re-
suits are not only highly compli-
mcutary to them. but highly valuable
to the general public from an economic
standpoint.
The search for the valuable by
products has resulted also IN the up
building of a profession. for there are
now men who devote their whole time
to a study of ways and means to con-
serve wasted assets. A case in point
which is worthy of more than passing
notice is that OF New York special-
its who claims that the neglected corn
cob can be reduced to pulp and then
made into lumber. railroad ties and
furniture. He estimates that last
years crop of approximately 3.000,00o,-
600 bushels Of corn would produce
l.6J0. 100000 bushels of cobs on the
basis of 81 per cent cob and these
pressed into boards would yield 49,
Oo.000.000 feet of artificial lumber
| Made into railroad ties the cobs would
produce 4l2.ooO.000 ties. which would
be enough for 1873 miles of railroad.
Twelve feet of lumber" can be made
from every bushel of cobs, says this
expert. For ties. an indurator that
preserves and aids in cohesion of the
pulped cobs is used under very high
hydraulic pressure. and it is claimed
that the tie thus made is superior to
the wood tie and free from the objec-
tons peculiar to the flexible steel tie
| The making of furniture offers a vast
field for utilization of the cob pulp
Another railroad tie has been made OF
sawdust. leaves. straw and binder
pressed under 445 pounds of pressure
This tie has been given a severe fire
test of being subjected to intense hea
for 20 hours without its being injured

The First Test.

The real test of the practicaDlilty
of all the great federal reclamation
projects will take place within the
NEXT few months. for the time has
come when some of the money which
the government has been expending
should he repaid by those who nave
been directly benefited. At the pres
ent time 100000 for water rights Is
due from the farmers who have set
tied upon irrigated land. Ii these
farmers are able to meet their pay
ments it will be held that the tremeh-
dous expenditures have not been III
vain. The indications are that the
farmers are in a position to meet this
expense, in fact some of them antici-
pated the date when the payments
were due by several months.
On the North Platte project III wy
oming and Nebraska where $50 farm
charges were due April first Z" were
paid as early as last December "hiie
of the remaining 1913 it is estimated
MT moro than 10 will fail to meet the
requirements. 1t is reported tilat even
on the Truckee-Carson project III
Nevada there will be few delinquents.
even though the conditions there have
hecn as unfavorable as they well
corld be. On the other projects it is
predicted that every farmer will be
in q position TO meet his obligations.
1t is interesting to know that while
there has never been any doubt as to
the ability of the engineers t" do their
part Of the conservation work. thou
sands have questioned the ability Oh
the farmers to return to the govern
mcnt any appreciable portion OF 'he
money expended for their benefit
This feature has often been debated
in seeking money for the work anu
there has been an honest doubt on the
part of the majority of those familiar
with the projects that the farmers
really could meet the payments pro-
vided for. 1t is cause for con-
graduation that the first time on
which payments were called for found
large proportion of the farmers not
only able and willing to pay, but with
receipts to show that they had al
ready paid several months in ad-
vance
OF course there have been failures
bu: the percentage is so small as to
be hardly worth mentioning. few
farmers who undertook the work I'M
der misrepresentation of the facts
lost money in the transaction, some
who became discouraged retired with
a small profit, but it is worthy of note
that the greater number of so-called
failures were really failures of I'M
individuals to realize upon
a speculation in irrigated land. They
took up claims for the purpose OF
selling to bona fide home-makers and
failed to find a victim.
In the light of the claims that we
are not producing food enough in this
country it should not he forgotten that
during the year 1903 crops estimated
to be worth s14,OO0OOO were produced
on this irrigated land. The land was
in,
S1o5. oOG, 900 at an expenditure of some
thing like S55,0O0,000.
