money considerations are powerful. Prove
to intelligent people that in Indian corn
they have the material from which they
can prepare appetizing. nutritious and in
every way valuable as we'll as cheap ar
ticles of diet in great variety, and the
fact that the corn was produced outside
of their own country viii not long prevent
their making good use of it.
The indications now are that no ade-
quate showing of Indian corn or its pro-
ducts at the Paris Exhibition can be Sc
cured unles shy aid of agricultural COM
mercial or municipal organizations, or by
action taken by individuals. The United
States will do what it can in connection
with the general agricultural exhibit at
Paris. Efforts TO secure appropriations by
state legislature have generally failed. A
national maize propaganda was organized
more than year ago and has done what
it can to awaken interest, but its sue
cess SO far as legislation Is concerned has
not been great. It is highly desirable that
not only should there be a general show
ing made. but that what might be called
an American kitchen and restaurant, at
tractively furnished and with American
service. should be in operation on the ex-
position grounds. In addition to thus ex-
plotting the value Of Indian corn, the su-
periority we claim for other American
food materials and products might also be
shown. Manufacturers Of corn meals corn
flours and the blended -four, which if sold
for what II is, Is a useful and desirable
product. as well as exporters and those

probably give direct aid in this work.
There would be little difficulty in securing
the contribution By growers OF abundant
supplies Of corn for exhibiting purposes,
but It would be difficult 10 awaken general
interest among individual farmers, as
these 90 not directly export or ship their
