KING CORN.
Various Uses of a Most Wonderful
Cereal.
A gi a in ol corn found in j 1 n? wrappings
of an .Egyptian inunnny which
had laid in the (oiuh lor forty centuries,
was planted and grew into a
great cornstalk, wit>h spreading leaves
and heavy golden ears. I hiring
'haI period ol quiescence more than
one hundred generations of men had
lived and toiled and gone to their
long rest, yet the life-spark in that
kernel of corn survived, as by a miracle,
and burst forth anew after four
thousand years of slumber.
Scarcely less wonderful does it ap- ;
pear th??t. the very paper this article
is printed on may be imbued with
corn stalk fibers, (lie new materia]
that is shortly to take the place of
wood for paper making.
Are you going to the woods for
sport .' 1 en to one the smokeless powder
of \onr shotgun contains a cellulose
nitrate made from corn. Thus it
, m?y happen that I lie ducks you blaze
t a\\a\ at were lattened from the same
field of corn thai yields the power to
drive the shot into them. If you carr\
a cameiji you." films are probablv
coaled with cillodion that was made
Irom corn pit 1 i. Jf you are touring
in an auto your lubricating oil is
made from oorn, if you have the kind ! |
I.nil docs no) j11u ; ;iinl if you have
the latest machine that explodes do- |
nalured alcohol instead of gasoline,
A our alcohol is practically certain to ^
bp made of corn.
L Corn is'the most omnipresent thing
in I ho universe, do where you will ,
B you can not get away from it. As (lie '
moving picture m.'icliino flashes iis )
hundreds ol' thousands of films on
the screen lit lie do we think that <
those miles of picture films would
not operate without sensiti/.inc material
based on cellulose, obtained
mainly from (lie humble corn stalk.
The average man, if asked if he
could gel along without corn, would !
unhesitatingly answer yes. He would !
bethink himself only of the hot Johnny
cake or corn muffin, or corn in
some form as a breakfast food, or
possibly of popcorn. But how his
month would have lengthened at the
corners if told thai lie must pay an
extra cent or two for every starched
thing he wears if (he laundry may
not use corn starch: that bis soap
will vise in price without corn oil
from the glucose factory; that cheap
silk ties must lie no more because
the cellulose adulteration is based on
' "rn pi I h ! Tell him Hint his mucilage
bottle will cos! him Ion cents in-lead !
of five if gum arabic is used instead i
'>f dot rind, made of corn. Remind j
him Mi ait he must go back to molasses !
for table syrup, and that candies will i
be both more costly and less pal at.- '
able if deprived of the grape suiiar
or glucose contents. j
If this average man still thinks he
can get along without corn, point out
!<> :i*11 that Hie very great nav;- ol
this country would he fatally weak- i
ened in battle but for the linings of'
corn pi-fh in the vessels' hulls. When
a shot penetrates the armor and lets c
in the water the corn pitli swells and
fills .the hole. A navy without corn- ,
pith would be as helpless as an old- *
fnshionaed Spanish armada in a mod- j
orn sea fight. Remind (lie man also i
that the animals of the. country rely i
principally on corn for food, and that j
beef, pork, poultry ami dairy pro- U
ducts would double it) price but for 1
cheap corn feed.
Indian corn is as remarkable for ! ?
the tremendous <|tia.u! it io< in whirl';
if is grown as for its novel and peculiar
uses. In 1{)()(? -there were ae- ^
t"ally three billion bushels grown in
the l ni'tod Stintes?enough lo feed ^
the entire human family for Hi roe
years, if they wore confined to a
corn diet. Most of this corn went in- "
to pork, poultry, '>eef and through
the useful cow, into dairy products.

quoted was a hundred million, Mr 1
