Explains the Object Of the Meeting.
He said: THE object of our coming
together Is to confer about the ways
and means by which Americas premier
crop and wonderful cereal may be bet
ter understood and appreciated by the
world at large. We are satisfied that
scarcely one person In G hundred thou
sand comprehends the magnitude Of
this product Its money value, its in
Vulnerable uses and possibilities, or its
wholesomeness as a universal food for
animal and man. The central western
states are the ZONE and habitat Of
Indian corn. The governments statistics
show the acreage devote to corn to
have been In recent years about 10 per
cent. greater than the aggregate de-
voted to wheat. oats. barley, buck
wheat and potatoes: in 1886 the acreage
IVES 70 per cent. greater.
Insists That Corn IL the King.
We hear much Of the wheat crop,
and the casual reader OF the newspapers
would suppose there was no other which
could rightly I've compared with 1t.
Statistics. however. show that during
the last decade the value. one year with
another. of our corn crop has been near
~ doub;e-s? per cent. greater than
tina; Of cur wheat. The value OF the
corn crop in this decade has been about
the same as the combined values Of our
wheat, oats. barley. buckwheat and
potatoes produced in the same period.
