Chemists of the University of Min
nesota have undertaken to determine
the possibilities of making a good
quality of syrup from the juices of
sweet corn stalks which are more or
less wasted after the ears have been
removed at canning plants in the
state. The last legislature appropriat-
cd $4,000 year for two years to- aid
the chemists in this work, and fac
tory was installed in connection with

A mass, of information was, acquired,
which, together with the syrup pro

after two seasons of work
Some 20 samples Of syrup were
made from various varieties Of corn
cut at different stages of maturity, and
grown in different localities. "Some
OF the syrup has excellent quality
says Prof: j.. j. .Willaman, chemist in
charge, "and shows the possible com
mercial development Of the project.
The syrup is sparkling clear, reddish
to dark amber in color, tastes some
what like sorghum syrup, but is not SO
viscOus as the latter 1t can apparent

cooking purposes, although many peo-
pie have expressed their liking for it
as table syrup.
Six to Ten Gallons Per Ton.
ssThe yields Of stalks were lower
than was anticipated The smaller
varieties, such ass Golden Bantam and
Crosby g yield aboutI,1.5 to 2 tons Of
stripped stalks an acre. The larger
varieties, as Country Gentleman and and
Evergreen, yield from HI to- z tons an
acre, and field corn. from, 4 to g. Ia
ton of stalks yields about 6 to 10 gal

Thus from 80 to 60 gallons an acre Of
corn can be expected. Next seasons;

gathering the stalks and making the
yrup will be.

Income of Trained Farm Men.

Surveys conducted by the United
States Department of Agriculture, the
Missouri and Kansas state agricultur-
al colleges, and the Nebraska agricul-
tural experiment station, show that
the income Of the educated farmer is
from SO to II per cent larger than
that of the unframed farmer. All the
evidence goes to show that money in
vested in education is the best invest
ment man can make. Courses at
the school and college of agriculture

Stimulating Ecu Production.

The use of electric lights in poultry;
houses to spur egg, production during
the winter may prove a boomerang
unless properly managed. The whole
idea Of illumination is to make the
hens eat more food by making their
day longer. The more they eat, the
more they lay; but to force produc-
ton without supplying additional food
is to defeat the sole purpose Of light
ing. Furthermore, the hens! are en-
titled to long fall vacation if their
working days are to be heightened in
winter.

Five Short Courses Will Be Conducted
at Dairy Division Of Minnesota
University-Special Training.

Because of the impetus given the
dairy industry in the northwest by the
National Dairy show October to Is,
staff members Of the dairy division of
the University Of Minnesota are max
ing preparations for full attendance
in the five dairy short courses, begin
ming Nov. IA and ending March II,
1922. Only so students can be regis
tered for each course, according to
bandry. a ..-s
Dates for the short courses are an
nounced as follows: Advanced cream
cry operators, Nov. II to rs; ice
cream plant operators, Nov. 2S to Dec.
3; milk plant operators, Dec. to 10;
cheese plant operators, Feb, 13 to
March II. A creamery managers con-
ference will also be ne1d on Jan. 5.'S'
The purpose Of these courses, ac-
cording to Professor Keithley,9is Ito
aid the students in gaining a more
thorough understanding Of the prob
lens connected with the manufacture
of dairy products and to fit them for
positions of responsibility. Since the
first creamery operators short course
at University Farm 81 years ago, he
says, more than $500 young men have
been trained, many of them having
since achieved national distinction in
dairy lines.

THE BURDEN OF TAXES
BY EDWARD G.LOWRY

Before the war the government of
the United States spent about one bill
lion dollars a year for all purposes,
including interest on the public debt.
In the fiscal year ending June 80, 1870,
the first full fiscal year after fighting
stopped, the government spent in
round figures six billion four hundred
million dollars. In the fiscal year 1921,
that is up to June 80, 1921, it spent
SOLE, ,927, ,6S9.30, and in the fiscal year
of 1922, which will end on June 80,
1922, it will spend more than four bill
lion dollars, says Secretary Mellon of
the Treasury Department.
These figures include interest on the
public debt which amounts to about
one billion dollars, but include moth
ing for sinking fund or other debt re-
demptiOn. Including both interest and
sinking fund, the government will
spend more than four times as much
the fiscal year 1922 as it spent yearly
before the war.
These expenditures and these heavy
charges are a part Of the price of VIC
tory. Your whole present problem is
to curtail them. 1t concerns you to
know just how; these immense sums
were gathered and how much you paid
and are paying toward them, for of
course We the tax payers, the men and
women with jobs, the men and women
who have what the census calls gain
full occupations, paid every cent of it.
1t was our money until the govern
ment took it.
Let us examine the fiscal year 1920.
l have not the detailed account for
1921, but it was slightly less than the
year previous, as the year ending June
30, 1922, will be slightly less burden
on us than the year preceding. Ac-
cording to careful analysis made by
the late DR.. e. B. Rosa, of the United
States bureau of standards, govern
ment scientist who was deeply and in
telligently interested in the subject,
every man, woman and child in this
country contributes, an average Of
fiftythree dollars in taxes to the sup
port of the national government. Ac-
tually it is nearer tifty-four than fifty
three dollars, but 1 am taking the
smaller sum for the sake of the round
number. That is, the average family
of five persons pays $265 year out
of its earnings to the federal govern
ment alone, in addition to what is
paid for state, county and city taxes.
The estimated average yearly income
of family of five is something more
than $70O. But before any of that $700
is spent $3.50 must be turned over to
the general government to run the
business of the United States. ..s..
The actual amount that each one of
us paid was $53.77. We paid it through
the medium Of internal revenue taxes
and customs duties on imported ar
ticles divided as follows:

Mr.. Dady raised Jne question of
the alleged agreement OF the gov
ernor's attorneys to draw the ven
ire from the existing list in the
jury box. Mr.. LeForgee produced
the stenographer's record and read
it to the court.
LeFOrgee Denies State Claim.
There never was any agreement
to waive the right to challenge"
Mr.. LeForgee said.
I'VE agreed to draw the names
from the box, presuming legally
constituted box existed. That
We never waived the right to chal-
lenge the panel or the venire."
Judge Edwards ended the argu-
ment by asking the attorneys to get
together ON some mutually salts
factory plan of picking a jury in
order that further delay of the trial
might be avoided, and took the law
yers into his chambers to try and
reach an agreement
Judge Edwards announced after
the conference he had proposed a
special plan of selecting a jury and
had given the lawyers until 2
O'Clock to accept or reject it.
1t was indicated both sides were
inclined to favor his proposal.
LeForgee and c. Fred Mortimer,
states attorney of Sangamon coun-
ty, came out of the conference

Congress day Act.
The effect Of the administration
policy has been to stir up things
in congress, where naturally the
pressure from the miners is great
est. Senators and members of the
house from states where miners
are out of work are being urged to
do something before exhaustion
sets in and suffering begins. Tile
power of congress is chiefly one OF
and publicity. The
executive branch of the govern
ment has declined thus far to make
any statement on the merits OF the
controversy reven to the extent of
dsfn ,ng the issues so that public
opinion may make up its mind
which is right or wrong and wheth-
er the public will be injured in the
end. Congress has the same opin-
ion, but there is yet no crystaliza-
ton of opinion in the senate or
house as to what should be done.
Everything points to a hands-o!f
policy at the White House and gov
eminent departments - something
that is gratifying to the operators,
who believe they can win if the
nt keeps out, but enc can
not be as certain that congress
will ignore the issue, especially as
the votes of labor are as numerous
as ever this campaign year.
