Common Swamp Cattail Seen as Possible Industrial Gold Mine
Syracuse University researchers led by Dr. Ernest Reed and Leland C. Marsh list nearly a dozen potential uses for the common cattail from root to seed. Edible rhizomes, flour for baking and starch substitute, ethyl alcohol, fibers for rope, adhesives, paper sizing, and fillings for lifejackets plus possible linseed-like oil and wax from seeds are noted, but officials caution no immediate cash harvest or market exists. Russia, France, and Romania are cited for historical cattail uses.

Hoosier Farm Land Prices Show Drop
Indiana farm real estate prices declined about five percent during the past year, said Purdue University agricultural economist Howard G. Diesslin. Lower quality land fell more, with estimates around eight percent for poor land and three percent for good. Prices are roughly 25 percent above pre Korean-era levels, and a gradual decline could continue unless hog prices slip. Factors depressing the market include reduced farm profits, weak general business, potential hog price drops from increased marketings, and abundant lower quality listings.
