To NJ axe Corn Popular Abroad.

Thirty years ago American corn
or maize, as the English still call it
was almost unknown in the Eastern
countries of Europe except as u food
for cattle. It is true that cornmeal
was eaten by the peasants Of Italy in
the mixture they called polenta, but
that the demand was small was shown
BY the fact that it was almost wholly
supplied by corn grown on italian
soil. Attempts were made at the ex-
positions held in Paris in 1857 and
1889 to teach Europeans the value OF
cornmeal as food, but it is only recent
ly that these efforts seem to have borne
fruit. -
While our exports of corn to conti-
mental Europe have increased with
wonderful rapidity during the last five
or six years, there is opportunity for.
q still greater sale of this cereal # the
people of Europe can be taught to
comprehend its excellence.
At the Paris Exposition that is to
be held in 1900 further attempts to
popularize Illinois great product will
be made, and it is to be hoped that no
pains and no reasonable expense will
be spared to increase the demand for
cornmeal, or cereal -four. It is we'll
recognized fact that when the farmer
is prosperous all his fellow-country-
men are prosperous also. Consequent
ly if we succeed in finding purchasers
for a large additional quantity CT farm
produce we have done much to bring
prosperity to all our people.-Chicago
