Corn will be the central display of the
general agricultural exhibit IN the Agri-
cultural building at the Fair In close
proximity to this general or universal corn
exhibit, will be the agricultural showing OF
the individual States.
The Missouri Commission announced last
week that Missouri's State display would
have corn for It's feature The four other
great corn States have announced like
dntentioi. Illinois, Iowa. Kansas and Ne
braska do not mean TO give up their claims
mutely. The competition will be of the
keenest. The result must be display
which will interest every agriculturalist,
and will impress every foreign visitor with
the wealth of American soil.
NATIVE TO THIS LAND.
Corn-first called Indian corn''-is native
to this land. 1t grew here before the white
mans invasion. AS with the Indians it
remains the chief sustenance of the present
population. 1t is the crop of all others
which the nation itself uses. More wheat is
harvested. but wheat is expected IN enor-
nous bulk. Eight per cent is the maximum
OF the corn crop exported in recent years.
The production increases. but the con-
sumption keeps pace. The direct uses are
legion and the by-products many.
Missouri's opportunity TO impress the
world with her increased stature as a corn
State is considered good. The yield of 1907
TO the acre was very large and the value
of the crop was more than 500 100000. The
quality and size OF the corn. also, was of
an exceptionally high standard.
Early this year the State Commissioners
necessarily must contribute the material for
the exhibit in 1904, shall be the finest the
State Is capable of growing.
Two thousand packages containing seeds
of 'pedigreed' corn were distributed in the
spring among leading farmers of whom it
was known that they would Ia Dor to produce
prize specimens. In addition sent fer
tfixer and directions for the planting of the
special seed, for tending the plants, and for
careful harvesting.
Captain Frank Gaienne, president of the
commission. from latest reports hears that
the corn thus distributed promises we'll The
disastrous floods in some districts worked
irreparable damage, since in many instances
the best crops are grown in the lowlaBds
But the damage by no means Injuries Mis-
souri's chances. since her competitors es-
pecially Kansas. suffered heavily from
the same cause, and since the acreage at
fected by the high water is small as COM
pared with the total corn acreage Of the
State.
PRELIMINARY CORN SHOW.
Another part Of the plan by which to
demonstrate that Missouri is a common
wealth where corn is king. and which is
king of corn, is the organization OF pre-
lminary corn show In every county of the
STATE. In each county SO is set aside for
prizes. J. o. Allison is chairman Of the

DEVELOPING THE STATE

DEVELOPING THE STATE.
The reason for AIissouri's sudden leap as
an agricultural State are, chiefly. two. it Is
said by those who have studied the sub

of Missouri have just been discovered

now that these have been occupied. atten-
ton has been diverted back to Missouri.
The consequence has been an entry into the
State from the West well as the East.

The second reason Is that improved farm

of its breeding. and of how 10 get the larg
est possible harvest from 4 given acreage.
The principal requisite 10 increase the
yield is intelligent fertilizing, which has
been done extensively. The use of cover
crops" such as cowpeas, sea beans. clover
and alfalfa have done much to achieve the
results. These cover crops. allowed to de-
cay. charge the ground with renewed vital
ity and the use OF them in one year in
creases corn production from five to eight
cen bushels an acre.
