258 BOARD OF AGRICULTURE. 



This could be done by an organization forming a corporation and 

 building grain elevators where the grain could be stored until the mar- 

 ket was in a good condition. In this way it could also be classified ac- 

 cording to quality. 



A man connected with the experimental station tells me that about 

 one-third of the value of feed is in the stalk and the majority of this "is 

 going to waste. 



The manufacturers of corn product never allow any part of the corn 

 to go to waste. When they buy a bushel of grain they do not allow one 

 bit of it to go to waste. If there is no good market for it they make a mar- 

 ket, and we ought to do the same — make a market for our stalks; the best 

 market is, at the present time, stock on the farm. The farmer should 

 learn to utilize the entire corn plant, the grain and stalk. 



In all the work we must look to the experimental station for the best 

 work. You should ask your Legislature to give you an appropriation to- 

 ward this, and I trust that when you do ask that your request will be 

 granted, and that you Avill get a liberal appropriation to help you along 

 with this work. 



After a short discussion of Mr. Hostetter's address it was moved
