Of this weight 85 per , or 136,000,000 tons, was val. uable as feed for live stock, but it is not likely more than 10 per cent. of it, or about 1,000,000 tons, was ac- tually fed. The other 15 per cent. of the total weight, or 24,000,000 tons, was the pith of the stalk, This pith has been @ total waste, or even worse, for its} indigestibility lowers the value of the stalk as cattle feed. It has recently been discovered that this pith is ex- tremely valuable for many purposes. Machinery las been invented to sep- arate the pith from the stalk. Where factories have been established they are paying the farmers $3 a ton for stalks, selling the fodder part for $6 aton and the pith for 17's cents a pound, or $350 a ton, That is to say. if every ton of raised in the United States could be so treated this discovery of the value of the pith would add $180,000,000 to the value of the coru crop of the United States to the far- mers, minus its present value for feed in the raw state, It has long been recognized that the pith of cornstalks might possibly be used for many purposes, and many interesting and sacerssful ex- periments have been made in the oratory.
