WHY CORN is A REAL KING
some of the Uses to Which the
worlds Crop of Four Billion
Bushels L. Put.

Corn is the king OF the grains in the
number of bushels produced and in all
around usefulness. 1t is the foundation for
the livestock industry In the United States,
especially hog raising
Corn Is used directly for food by thou
sands Of people, in the form Of corn bread.
hominy and many excellent dishes In
directly it is the food for the entire meat
eating world. but aside from its food uses
there are many others that many people
have never heard about.
People who like to talk in millions and
billions should revel in discussing the corn
crop. Corn was the gift Of the new world
TO the old. 1t probably originated in Mex
leo. Now it is grown all over the world
and the average annual crop is about 4OO0,-
100000 bushels. The United States furnishes
two-thirds of that total
Every year some new use is found for
corn. In the old days there were only
two ways to dispose of tito feed II to
cattle and, in the shape of cornmeal, to
some people. The meal had TO be for local
consumption because when made, as 1t
then was. from the whole kernel. it soon
became rancid.
From the germ, which is separated from
the kernel in the milling process, the oil
is extracted by chemical and mechanical
processes and constitutes a product which
is coming into use in the manufacture OF
paint.
The vulcanized oil is used extensively In
surfacing linoleum and oilcloth and is APP
piled TO a number of other purposes. After
the oil Is extracted there Is left a valuable
residuum known as corn oil cake. which
is sold here and abroad and is used in the
fattening OF sheep and other animals
Nearly fifty million pounds of this ma
terial are annually shipped to Great Brit
ain and Germany and there used by farm
ers, who find 1t cheaper than materials
Of a similar nature which they can grow
at home.
A corn product which is coming into ex-
tensive use is glucose, made from starch,
water and sulphuric acid Confectioners
use large quantities OF glucose, which is a
colorless, sweetish syrup useful as food
when properly taken. Nearly 10000, 900 900
pounds OF glucose are sent out of this
country each year o.all parts of the world.
From cornstarch also comes dextrin OF
several kinds. used extensively in the
making of glue paste and mucllage. When
one Hicks a postage stamp one gets taste
OF dextrin, Favored often with some harm
less preservative
One other use OF corn may be mentioned
as in all probability having an important
bearing on future industrial pursuits.
Denatured alcohol is already extensively
manufactured from corn, both at home
and abroad. Despite the advancing price
OF the grain it is stil one Of the most eco
nomical sources OF a product which under
different legal restrictions from those now
in existence may become important as q
source OF heat. light and power in homes
especially farm homes.
Experiments conducted here and abroad
demonstrated that bulkheads constructed
OF cornstalks were nearly impervious to
water when a shot passed through them
