WHERE CORN IS KING
Amazing Celebrations in Honor of the Prairie
Monarch
Monarch.

Kansas City Aug. 13.-The enthusi-
asm of the people of Kansas. Mis-
souri, and Oklahoma for King Corn
is contagious. 1t is easy to under
stand. Corn has paid their mort
cages, fed their cattle and horses, has
even kept them warm in times of coal
famine. This years crop, upon which
the work of the 1larvesters is begin
ming. may not equal the records of
one or two years past, for the rains
and cold weather of the early spring
kept the farmers back in their plant
ing, but outside of the river valleys
a fair yield will be gathered, every
bushel of which, needless to say, will
be utilized.
The picturesque element in corn
production has come to appeal power
fully to Western Imagination. Corn
is not only king, but a benign and
bountiful monarch. The poetry of the
prairies is epitomised in the Kansas
cOrnfield. At the sight of it even the
hard-headed farmer is apt to become
sentimental.
An ApOtheOsis of Corn.
There is even growing up in this
region of the West an amazing apoth-
costs of the popular cereal. The cele-
brations in honor of King Corn which
are becoming common are somewhat
like the old world festivities in honor
of the jOcund grape, a new sort of
bacchanalia, suited to the tempera-
ment of a staid Anglo-Saxon and Teu-
tonic population. For a week or more
after the corn crop has been gathered
in, both city people and country peo-
Pile in Kansas and Western Missouri
indulge in fetes.
The women appear in costumes fash
toned from corn husks and tassels.
Enterprising shopkeepers deck forth
their windows with corn products. The
restaurants serve with milk and syrup
all possible delicacies made from the
corn kernel. Orators are secured by
the local business mems associations
or boards of trade to sound the praises
of the all-puissant king. The railroad
companies help on the celebration
The entire community goes corn mad.
And, maddest of all. the jolly old
rogue of monarch himself often ap-
pears in effigy, seated on corn cob
throne, arrayed in robes of husks and
silk, his arms and hands shaped of
cobs, his long beard fashioned of wavy
silk and a corn-cob pipe in his mouth.
Even his face is of papier mache made
from the corn stalk.
Folk stories of the Corn Country.
Furthermore, there is accommodating
throughout the corn belt a wealth of
folk stories, always somewhat improb-
able, connected with the growing of
the corn. One of these tales-presuma-
bly, a variant on the -and-the-
Bean-Stalk yarn-is to the effect that a
Kansas bnW wont forth nm
morning in August into a cornfield and
foolishly undertook to climb one of the
stalks. He got on all right, but the
rapid growth of the stalk carried him
into the air faster than he could climb
down. The attention of his father and
brothers was attracted to his predica-
ment and they made an effort to cut
The Savannah morning news., 1904-08-14

for six weeks he had been up there
with nothing to eat but raw corn and
that during that time he had cast
down four bushels of cobs from which
he had gnawed the kernels
A Bit of Kansas Fiction.
Another bit of Kansas fiction tells Of
a traveller from the East who shortly
after leaving Kansas City asked the
porter how long it would be before the
train emerged from the tunnel through
which it was passing. Dis amt no
tunnel sah," replied the porter. Yves
jes passin' fru de Kansas corn belt and
de tall stalks shuts out de sun. Yo'
won't seen no mo daylight for 200
miles,"
The uniform excellence of the corn
crop as well as its marvellous growth is
also one of the proud boasts of Kansas
people. A leading store in a town near
Kansas City last summer had corn
display in one of its windows of which
the most spectacular feature was a
lone 'nubbin" bearing the following
card: This curiosity is called nub-
bin and it is the only one we have
been able to find in Eastern Kansas.
This specimen was secured, in one of
the suburbs from a stalk which grew
out of the mortar in a brick wall. Its
surroundings and the fact that the
stalk was twice struck by lightning as
it lowered above the building probably
account for the dwarfed appearance of
the ear"
Crop Stories.
Then, of course, there is the annual
crop of stories which are told every
summer of the necessity in certain To-
calities of using stepladders in harvest
ing the corn. One yarn to which cur
rency was given by the newspapers a
year ago stated that in certain Kansas
townships the stalks grew SO tall that
they brushed against the telephone
wires and interfered with the service
by grounding the circuit.
If these stories are somewhat to be
doubted. the solid facts about the i'm
portance of the corn crop are not to be
in any way discredited. The magni-
tude of the corn fields of the West
and Southwest staggers the imagina-
ton. The total yield for the United
States in 1902. the banner year thus
far, was 2,244. 176,125 bushels-two bush
els each, roughly speaking for each
inhabitant of the globe. On a single
farm at Tarlzio in the northern part
of the state of Missouri-Hon. David
Rankin's great bonanza corn planta-
ton, the largest in the world-about
$4,000 acres are annually sown in In
dian corn. Here one may look upon
a single field of more than 5000 acres.
Corn Makes Cities.
Corn may make a metropolis. The
marvellous expansion of Kansas City
in the past two decades is due largely
| to its position in the center of the corn
| growing region. The hog the steer
and the horse are fed by King Corn.
Time was when Cincinnati was the
but the hog passed westward to root
in the bigger cornfields and Chicago
became the great packing town. Now

writing the above I have seen several
notices of Senator Vests death that
contain errors. He did not serve a
year as Confederate senator only about
four months. Nor did he, in 1861, go
with the South and become a Con-
federate senator" He was first in the

Congresses. going to the Senate near
the close of the war. He and the late

referred to as men who were senator's
of two republics. But there was a
wide difference. Hill was elected over
Tombs to the first Confederate Senate,
and served to the close of the war;
while Vest was simply appointed Sena-

only a few months. Nor was Vest the
sole survivor of the Confederate gov

Senate. Postmaster General John ii,
Reagan, still living, was United

this is simply to correct errors, not
to detract in any way from the
splendid record made in every pub
lie position by the late Senator Vest.
