America’s sweet tooth is switching to corn
tools You may need saws, knives,
and wood chisels.
Make cuts either at a good side
branch or nearly flush with the
mother branch. This avoids
leaving “dead end” stubs. Make
smooth, fast-draining wound
surfaces
Remove splintered, rough, or
loose wood from all parts of any
wound with a wood chisel or sharp
knife. Trim off all bark not solidly
attached to the wood
Use a sharp knife, exposing
uninjured bark on all edges of the
wound.
After the wood has thawed, lift,
straighten, and support trees,
shrubs, or evergreen trees with
wire encased m a hose wherever it
touches the bark. Supports should
remain a full season Cover ex
posed roots with soil and mulch
with leaves or straw.

wildest dream, doesn’t it 7
But it’s already happened
It took place very quietly from
1970 and 1980 and, if it hadn’t, we’d
already be paying some incredible
prices at the supermarket, in the
diner, at the vending machine, and
in just about any place where we
eat or drink.
The energy source, of course, is
sugar and sweeteners and a happy
combmation of increased use ot
corn for sweeteners and a sensible
reduction m refined sugar use by
Americans has brought this
remarkable, and little known,
economic miracle about.
In 1970, the average American
consumed 101 pounds of sugar
sweeteners refined cane and beet
sugar. Of that 101 pounds, 45.5

solution:
pounds came from unported cane
sugar
In 1980, it is estimated that
Americans consumed 87.2 pounds
of refined sugar from sugar cane
and sugar beets with 37.8 pounds
commg from imported cane sugar.
But there has been a big switch
in total sweetener use utilizing non
refmed sweeteners, com syrups -
high fructose and glucose - and
dextrose.
In 1970, the average American -
even if he or she didn’t know what
it was - consumed seven-tenths of
a pound of high fructose, 14 pounds
of glucose and 4.6 pounds of
dextrose, for a total of 19.3 pounds
of corn derived sweeteners.
In 1980, the average American
consumed 18.9 pounds of high

fructose, 18 4 pounds of glucose
and 3 8 pounds of dextrose for a
total of 41.4 pounds of corn derived
sweeteners.
So, we used 21.8 more pounds of
corn products and 7.7 pounds less
of unported sugar
And, according to all indications,
corn produce use as sweeteners,
primarily high fructose, is ex
pected to keep on increasing in the
future. The major boost coming
due to the fact that soda makers
are switching to high fructose as
fast as they can.
The boom in the use ot corn
products for sweeteners is such
that m 1980 some 500,000 bushels of
corn, or about eight percent of the
total crop, was used tor this pur
