Utilizing the Stalks.

These methods have not as yet
proved entirely successful, so that the
most advantageous way Of preserving
corn fodder at the present time is the
rather primitive one of leaving it in
comparatively small stacks, or shocks,
outdoors. Little or no attempt, how
ever, is made on the part of farmers
in the great corn-growing states to
preserve their fodder or utilize it in
any way except to turn their animals
upon it after the ears have been har-
vested.
few years ago considerable inter
est was aroused in corn-stalks through
the utilization of the pith as a mate
rial for the construction of battleships.
Large factories were established in
parts of the West where natural ad-
vantages were at hand for the rapid
and cheap accumulation of the stalks.
By special machinery the pitch was
separated and manufactured into
blocks Of almost pure cellulose.

Corn In Battleships.

Extensive experiments conducted
here and abroad demonstrated that
bulkheads constructed of this material
were nearly impervious to water when
a shot passed through them. Some Of
our largest battleships are now pro-
tected with a belt of corn-pith cellu-
lose, largely made from corn grown
in the Ohio valley. The same mate
rial, or modified forms of it, are used
in the manufacture of high explosives,
such as guncotton and smokeless pow
der.
Pyroxylin varnish, another material
made from cellulose, is very useful
product manufactured in connection
with the other products Just men
toned.
From time to time the attention of
the country has been directed toward
the vanishing supply Of wood for the
manufacture of paper or paper-pulp.
Various attempts have been made to
manufacture paper from other mate
rails, and a good many years ago
samples of fine paper were produced
from corn-stalks. The processes as
followed were, however, not economi-
CAL so that the work was abandoned.
More recently, however, new light has
been thrown on the subject through
improved methods and processes.
Like the grain, the stalk contains a
number of products which can be sep
arated under proper chemical, physi-
cal and mechanical processes. 1t has
been demonstrated that form of low
grade molasses can be taken from
corn-stalks without in any way de-
tracing from their value for the man
ufacture of paper. If this by-product
can be secured at comparatively little
expense, and some economical and
practical method of accommodating the

sources of a product which, under III
ferent legal restrictions from those
now in existence, may become impor-
tant as a source of heat, light and
power in all our homes, especially our
farm homes.
1t is only in most recent times that
attention has been given to the utili-
cation of the parts oAthe corn plant
other than the grain. Large quaint
ties Of corn-stalks are harvested and
used each year in the eastern United
States and certain parts of the south
as fodder, or rough forage. Attempts
have been made at various times, and
with various devices, to utilize the
greater portion of this valuable mate
rial by shredding and preserving It in
dry form.

GREAT CORN CROP IN
STATE OF MISSISSIPPI

Continued from Page Twenty-five.)
Of several kinds, used extensively in
the making of glue, paste and muci-
lage. When one ticks a postage
stamp one gets a taste of dextrin,
favored often with some harmless
preservative.
There are many other special prod
ucts made from the grain of corn
either directly or indirectly-so many,
in fact, that it would not be practical
Bile even to attempt to enumerate
them.
One other use of corn may be men
toned as in all probability having an
important bearing on future industrial
pursuits. Denatured alcohol is al
ready extensively manufactured from
corn, both at home and abroad. De
spite the advancing price of the grain,
it is still one of the most economical

 When the world feels the need of men to do great things, itreaches out it's hand to the farm, and says: You have just the ones we want. Send them to usl 1t is a time of sore stress; do not fail us!"
 And from the farms a steady stream of men goes to answer the call. You find them in the offices, in the factories, in the stores of the gaeat cities. They are doing much of the worlds work today, and they will always be doing it; for the farm grows just that kind of men.

Southern Farmers Helped by "Demoa-
 stration" Methods.

J.O. Neal, of Mississippi, lived on farm that few years before the Demonstration men began work on it sold for $l per acre. In 1908 he owed the merchants of Brookhaven, his nearest town, $500, He raised each year corn and hay sufficient to last only until spring, and not en- ough of anything else to meet his debts. With great reluctance he consented to work five eighths of an acre in cotton by Government meth ods. From this he picked a bale, and agreed to work his whole farm the next year by Demonstration methods. His average in cotton was between HOO and 1,200 lbs. per acre. while his neignbors raised 300 and 400. Besides this he raised 800 bushels of corn, and on one acre. to which special attention was given, l52 bushels. From this single acre he sold $500 worth of seed corn, en- ough to finance his crop this year. His debts are nov paid and he farms on cash basis. Prior to 1908 his his children were kept out of school to work on the farm. His daughter now attends college and his sons ride in to the city high school.
 J. V. Warner, of Mississippi, rais- ed about 9 bales of cotton year with liens on his crop. By Dr. Knapp's methods he has brought his yield up to 2l bales, besides raising sufficient corn, hay and pork for his own use, and his debts are all paid. He came to a state meeting not long since and related his success, and while he was speaking a merchant whispered to some one near him, That is the truth. Four years ago no man would give Warner credit for a plug of tobacco, and now we all run after him to sell him whatever he wants.

A RICH FARMER

David Rankin. a Missouri farmer who died recently, wasa a millionaire. At 30 years he had almost nothing. Then he settled down to farming in earnest in very small way, but the way kept growing. One of his chief occupations was raising vast quanti- ties of corn and hay. But don't think he got rich selling those prod ucts. He didn't. More than that he even bought more corn and hay. All this he fed to his stock. selling this when 1t was Tn prime condition for the butchers block. He kept the stock in his barns and fields and in that way fertilized his lands in the best and cheapest way.
 Of course not many men can be- come so wealthy in farming. but the methods that made David Rankin rich are open to every farmer if he

The extraordinary closeness of this corning election contest, says Edward k.
