DRYER SOLVES CORN PROBLEM.
Quaker Oats Company Finds Method
Of Saving Soft Corn.

Fort Dodge, Jan. 5.-A corn drying
machine. operated by steam heat, which
can dry out any corn regardless OF the
amount Of moisture Is the Quaker Oats
company's solution of the soft corn
problem. The machine Is kept running
day and night and in twenty four hours
dries out some 10000 bushels OF corn.
There Is nothing new about the corn
drying machine, according to r. w.
Cormack, Quaker Oats manager. The
machine has been used here about Ave
years Never, however, has it proved
OF such great value as 1t has this year.
This, OF course, is due to the unpre-
cedented demand for conservation OF
food supplies and to the fact that
without q machine Of this kind much
Of the corn would have to be thrown
away.
The present capacity of the corn dry
er Is 500 bushels an hour; that Is It
will take corn with as high as thirty
per cent moisture and reduce that to
sixteen per cent in the short space OF
sixty minutes. The plan now Is to en-
large the plant to a capacity OF 100
bushels an hour The moisture reduc-
ton in the enlarged plant will not be
so great, from about twenty-seven per
cent to twenty per cent The reason
why it will not be necessary to have
such a big moisture reduction IN the
enlarged plant is because the corn now
is in better shape than 1t was several
weeks ago and 1t will continue to get
into better shape with the continuance
OF cold weather The amount OF mois-
ture that is left In the corn depends
entirely Upon what 1t Is used for.

MUCH STRAW TO BE FED.
Shortage Of Hay and Other Roughage
Compels Use On Farms.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Because of the gen =
eral shortage Of the 1917 crop Of hay,
and the high market value Of it, straw
will find wide use in the feeding Of
cattle, sheep and horses. The hot wave
In the corn belt prevented a bumper
hay crop, and with the surplus Of a
year ago fed or marketed, feeders and
farmers are finding themselves up
against the necessity Of feeding straw.
Except in but few localities, there is
shortage Of roughage. Corn stalks,
which would have been plentiful. are
scarce, due to the fact that hundreds
Of farmers fed their stock in the field
grain. AS a result, what stalks were
not eaten by cattle, hogs and sheep. are
damaged beyond a possibility of using
them for feeding purposes.
Straw is plentiful. Bumper crops OF
small grains made this situation pos
sib. So, instead Of permitting straw
to remain in stacks In the field until
it rots or is wasted, it will be mixed
with hay and other roughage and fed
to live stock.
Any one having surplus of hay can
find a good market for it: and not only
that can obtain hig prices. Current
quotations show that choice. timothy
hay is selling at $2s ton. and choice
prairie hay at $24 ton. Straw of all
kinds is selling from $9.5O@11.00 a ton.
The demand for hay and straw is
unusually good, because Of an appar-
ent scarcity.
Paper mills are buying straw in the
stack I'D to SO a ton, and are paying
better prices f., o. b., so that straw, us
ually left to waste In the fleld, has a
good cash value.
Straw can be mixed with hay and fed
to good advantage. This system will
not only make wintering horses, cattle
and sheep more economical. but will
help relieve the scarcity Of hay.
It Is best to mix the straw with the
hay. Fed a!!o:c, large Quantities will
hardly be consumed; but when It, Is
mixed with hay. the stock Is forced to
eat the straw to get the hay. This
system will enable the farmer having
just enough hay to sell some.
Another beneficial factor in feeding
straw is the cleaning UP of alternating
places for the chinch bug and other in
sects and bugs which damage crops
during the summer periods. This is
especially true Of the chinch bug and
since we need all of the wheat we can
raise to feed our fighting forces and
those of our allies, it behooves the far
mer to feed out his straw stacks. and
clean UP the abode Of insects during
the winter months.
Straw stacks are likewise incubators
for germs which damage all kinds OF
live stock. Cholera, tuberculosis apd
other germs Turk in them. OF course
this condition does not prevail on every
farm; but any place which has ever
had cases Of these diseases on. the
premises Isl subject to further damage
from the germs, which may be in the
straw stacks.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-Corn-Despite the
easier tone to the cash market and the
prospect Of an early improvement in
receipts, corn futures gained ground
during the early trading. The advance,
however. was lost when oats failed to
hold their bulge. Cash corn was in
poor demand, bulk Of the sales being
5 cents lower and some grades de-
cltned as much as 10 cents. In view
of President Griffin's avowed intention
to recommend to the directors this af-
ternoon change from the present form
OF contracts. 1t is impossible to discuss
future action Of the market.
Oats-Shortly before the close, oats
bulged sharply on covering by shorts,
but the gain was not held. Premiums
in the sample market were further re-
duced. Restrictions against shippers,
placed by various railways, amount to
a practical embargo. The government
seems to have anticipated its wants for
some time.
Stocks-Stocks were on the down
grade all day. Holders who saw their
profits dwindling were free sellers. and
many stop-loss orders were encoun-
tered. Many who were not disposed
to sell out their investment holdings
were hedging by sales of active specu-
lative issues. The market Is In a
healthier condition after the reaction
Of the last two days.
