dian corn. II has more nutriment
than rye and barley, which are much
more widely used in Europe than

interest for Americans. Practically
all of the product which is raised in

Atlantic. It is the most valuable of
all the crops grown in the United

Historically and socially, IS well
as economically, maize is of great
interest to the United States. 1t is
one of the three most important
products native to the American
continent, potatoes and tobacco be-
ing the other two. The Important
part which corn played in the settle
ment and development of the present
territory of the United States has
never been adequately set forth. In
the eaily days of the occupation of
the wilderness of the West corn was
raised where no other grain could
have grown. It was planted be-
tween the tree stumps in the little
clearings. 1t could be grown on soil
where there had been no preliminary
fertilization, and demanded very lit
tie care. The tree stumps ordinarily
stood until disintegrated by the
action of the elements. This process
took about ten years for the ordinary
soft woods, but in some varities of
trees twenty years were required for
the work. Until the stumps were re-
moved the plow could not be moved
freely over the farm, and wheat
growing could not be done to ad.

why the French were unable TO cope
with the English in the planting of
colonies on this continent was that
in the French region, Canada, corn
could not be produced in any i'm
