anything been done to advertise abroad
the value Of corn as food and the many
attractive ways to prepare it. The aver

suited only to cattle. Whatever impress

TO intelligent missionary work. Ameri-
cans are beginning to see that the estab-
lishment of q large corn exhibit in every
large exhibition, especially those that are
interna tional, is exceedingly important.
Corn can be temptingly prepared for the
table in almost innumerable forms. One
of its best qualities is absolute healthful-
ness. With proper treatment it is highly
palatable. Upon this point the world
needs educating, and the corn convention
will suggest remedies for the draw OK
