'oRIciN OF CORN.

As TO the origin OF the corn plant.
there is n general agreement among
authorities that II developed among
tropical or sub-tropical conditions. As
TO the hemisphere IN which II orig.
mated. there has been considerable
discussion. but the consensus OF
opinion among the botanists Of to-day
Is that II originated In America. The
eminent French botanist. DE Candolle.
after considering the evidence rela.
tive TO Its origin. says: From all
these facts We conclude that maize IL

Of the Mound Builders OF North
America. the ,ombs OF the Incas and
In caiaoombs OF Peru. He further
mentions it's connection with the re-

there was number OF varieties OF
corn In America when the Europeans
came also points to a long period Of
cultivation previous 10 that time. De

OF the corn plant.

GROUND PHOSPHATE ROCK.

We are more than ever convinced
OF the great value 10 every farmer OF

natural phosphate has been worked
out OF large proportion OF our soils.

In their grain crop. They lay II 10

original elements. The coil Is like

All this summer long. Just AS In pre-.
