 if our population was 92,000,000? If 200,000,000 pounds of 

 Corn Syrup were used in the manufacture of this candy, what 

 per cent of it was a corn product?

 given at 6,000 and the annual wages, $4,500,000. What is the 

 annual average income of each employee? 



The fact that $90,000,000 are invested in these industries, 

 shows how great the production of corn on the farm is becoming 

 as a manufacturing source of wealth; and the manufacture of 

 corn into so many products adaptable in many ways as foods 

 and in the arts, makes corn an object worthy of the study of 

 all who are interested in the industrial development of the 

 country. 



Reports show that there are about 35,000,000 bushels of 

 corn used in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages by brewers 

 and distillers in the U. S., annually.
