them is inspiring and encouraging
Their friendly greeting and hearty
grasp of his hand with no favors 10
ask and no selfish cause to urge, bring
pleasant relief from official perplexities
and annoying importunities.'

CLIFF JEWELLERS RAISED CORN.

Tony Iverson of Minneapolis says
he has proof that the corn found in the
mounds of the ancient cliff jewellers in
southwestern Colorado is far superior
to the quality now generally raised in
the west. He was. two wears ago,
given two kernels, found in one of the
mounds by Chicago man. They
were discolored with age, but other

Chicago man found several jars of
them and planted several hundred.
That fall ne gathered a crop Of -he
finest corn in the community. The
stalk lowered twelve feet. and the ears
were plump and as long as d mans

the original kernels to friends, and

ured eleven feet, three inches. The ears
were enormous, and the kernels almost
the size of buttons. John S. Dodge OF

cago had almost as good luck. E. J.
Forester, who has a garden at Orono.
Lake Minnetonka, likewise raised giant
stalks. A test of the merits of this
Indian corn is being made in Minneap-
oils. and it may prove profitable to
raise it. At any rate, the Indians had
