A JOHNNYCAkE CAMPAIGN.
Corn Growers Organize the Americas
Maize Propaganda.

MAKO Propaganda.
There are 1000, 600 corn growers in
the United States. In Europe there are
1900, 600 people who might be per-
suaded to become corn consumers. These
facts were brought out at a recent con-
vention in Chicago, where the 7, 900, 900
corn raisers were represented by some
200 delegates who had gathered for the
purpose of adopting such persuasive
methods as might bring about the de.
sired end. The principal action taken
was to organize under the name of the
American Maize propaganda
Colonel Clark Z. Carr, former min.
lister to Denmark, who was elected pres
ident, made speech in which he told
how much better johnnycakes would
be for the poorer people of Europe than
their present diet Of soggy black rye
