WASHINGTON Oct. Id-Cabies from
Berlin indicate that CharlesJ. Murphy,
special agent of the United States
agricultural department, is receiving
much attention in Germany in his
efforts to introduce Indian corn This
recognition of Murphy comes very
tardily. For the last five years he has
been laboring at the European ca pitfalls
to induce people to use Indian corn as
food. He spent his own money ard
reduced himself almost to the point OF
beggary.
Murphy turned up at the Paris ex-
position with plans Of q corn palace"
but Director-Genernl Franklin and the
American commissioners snubbed him
and declined to have anything TO do
with the corn project The treatment
he received made manv believe Murphy
was a crank and he was treated &C
cordInRly.
After getting the cold shoulder from.
American officials he turned his Rtten-
tion to the American tourists in Paris.
With his wife and cook he visited the
hotels which Americans patrouized and
would surprise them AZ their dinners
by laying befors them generous sup.
plies of American "johnny-cake,"
American corn starch pudding and,
other corn foods He was a bosom
friend of buffalo Bill" and this in
part led Commissioner Franklin to
think that Murphy's corn scheme
might lack dignity.
When Secretary RusP took hold Of
agricultural affairs he was greatly
surprised that no official effort had
been made in Paris TO show the value
of American corn as food. lie heard
of Murphy and wrote to hum just
about the time the corn crank was
on his last legs. Later Mr.. Murphy

the agricultural department at 81, 900
year. He wrote 10 the AGRICULTURAL
department a short time ago, saying
that if it had not been for the appoint
ment coming in the nick of time his
entire labor for years would have been
thrown away, for the money he had
squandered and the kicks and snubs
he had received had ut last driven
him to desperation. Commissioned as
the representative Of Secretary Rusk,
he now goes to Germany with pros
poets that his labor will at last ts~
