Getaways Famous orp-Grower

CallaWayS Famous COPn-GfoWer,
Fulton Gazette.
w. Y. Palmer, a 7~6-year-old Gala
way farmer who lives in McCredie
township, has doubtless won more
prizes as q corn grower than any other
agriculturalist in Missouri.
In October, 1895 he won a gold
watch at a corn show, held at Mexico,
for the best twelve ears OF white corn,
the contest being open 10 Audrain and
adjoining counties, carrying off first
laurels among noted exhibitors from
five entries. The Audrain county
contest is said to have been the great
estcorn show ever held in Missouri,
and Mr.. Palmer's fame as acorn-raiser
gave him state wide prominence in
this connection.
Previous to that time, he had shown
corn at the old St. Louis fair, In 1892,
and captured first premiums, and at
the Galloway county fairs Of later date
always held front-rank place among
the exhibitors OF the leading cereal.
his most recent honors include four
frsts won at a Fulton street fair and
premiums on corn he showed at Aux-
vase, a few years since, and taken
altogether, the bunch OF blue ribbons
that has been awarded his efforts in
growing big corn makes q very credit
able showing.
Mr., Palmer's farm Is situated on
Auxvasse creek, and the bulk of it
was originally timber land, and while
much Of bis success Ia the propagation
OF corn Is attributed to the soils fer
tility and bis methods Of cultivation,
no small amount OF the honor he has
won Is due to his manner OF breeding
the cereal, by making crosses OF differ
ent types Of ears and blending them
50 as TO remove the deficiencies and
In that way grow corn that comes up
to the standard. Mr.. Palmer does not
confine himself to white corn, but
raises a yellow variety that also wins
prizes, and IL Is safe to say that the
OLD gentleman even In his sunset days
can give many an agricultural college
professor pointers on how to raise
corn.

JAPAN's NAVAL STRENGTH
is LARGELY A MYSTERY
Emeieney Of Sea Fighting Force
Has Never Been Fully Demon
strated.

Washington, July i7.-There can be
no doubt OF Japan's designs against
China 0 Of her realization Of the
movement OF the American navy
towari Asiatic waters. Whether the
japanese will preclpitate a crisis In
the far east this fall depends entirely
on her confidence in the strength OF
her sea lighting force.
Japan's navy Is largely q mystery.
The entire naval history OF the island
empire is encompassed In the battle
with the Chinese at the Yalu river,
the operations before Port Arthur and
the battle Of Tshushima during the
Russian war. 10 neither instance
did the Japanese engage a feet either
properly armed or efficiently manned.
A habit of e~nlarging OF Japan's sea
prowess has been in evidence In nearly
every article written on her navy.
There were many instances during
the japanese Russian war which
showed the fallibilty Of the Japanese
as sea lighters, which have not been
recorded.
They are known, however, to the
| lighting experts of the naval powers
Accrediting both the new ~battleships,
Satsuma and Aki to the japanese
fleet, what naval force could be mo
bilized against the American ieets
These two ships, one just completed
and the other nearing completion, are
two of the most powerful ~battleships
ever designed. Both carry four IL
inch As calibers and II l0.inch As cali
Der guns in their main batteries, q
heavier armament than any ship Of
the American fleet.
Eliminating the eight smaller bat
tleships from the American fleet and
the six armored cruisers OF the West
Virginia class, the American battle
line would consist OF 10 battleships
two armored cruisers and q compli
ment OF 10 torpedo craft.
These would be the ships whict
would be called upon TO stand th'
first shock.
Against this fleet Japan could con
centrate eight battleships, four ar
mored cruisers, with a probable com
plement OF so torpedo boats.
