ORIGIN oF CORN.
Plant Was First Grown Under Trop-
ical or Sub-Tropical Conditions.

AS to the origin of the corn plant,
there is a general agreement among
authorities that it developed among
tropical or sub-tropical conditions. AS
to the hemisphere in which it orig
mated, there has been considerable
discussion, but the consensus of
opinion among the botanists of to-day
is that it 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 is
not a native of the old world. 1t be-
came rapidly diffused in it after the
discovery of America, and this very
rapidity completes the proof that, had
it existed anywhere in Asia or AT
RIGA, it would have played an i'm
portant part in agriculture for thou
sands of years" He then goes on to
show the greater antiquity of corn in
America. He says that when Ameri-
ca was discovered it was a staple
crop from the La Plata to the United
States; had names in every native
language, and was found in the tombs
Of the Mound Builders of North
America, the tombs of the Incas and
in catacombs of Peru. He further
mentions its connection with the re-
ligious ceremonies of the ancient
Mexicans and Peruvians and argues
from this a very great antiquity in
those regions for 1t to have become so
supremely important. The fact that
there was a number of varieties of
corn in America when the Europeans
came also points to a long period Of
cultivation previous to that time. De
Candolle inclines to the belief that
New Granada was the original home
of the corn plant.
Since the discovery of America corn
has been carried to practically all
parts of the world where the condi-
tions are at all favorable to it's
growth, and we may expect that, dur
ing the present century, it will be
taken to many more.-G. A. Crosth-
wait.

MoLDY CORN
II Should Not Be Put in Crib with tina
Other Corn.

There is a variety of expressions
about the moldy corn, says a writer IT
the Bloomington Cll.) Pantograph
Most farmers think there is not so
much as last year.
One man who said he thought he
did not have so much moldy corn, was
surprised when the first load came III
to find quite a large amount OF IT,
and said that none of it should go into
the crib; that he thought if the
weather got damp and warm 1t would
help to spoil other corn in the crib.
Another farmer who usually looks
pretty closely to his corn, said that
he got two ears from the field about a
month ago. before the corn was very
hard; one of them was of the type ne
selected for seed and the other one
was partly affected with the dry mold,
so prevalent last year.. Without think
ing of what might happen, he tied the
two ears together and hung them on
the north side of a building, where
they had remained. On taking them
down recently, the seed ear was found
to be moldy on the side next to the
other ear, for a space of five or six
rows wide.
Not a few farmers are of the opin-
ion that the mold lives in the soil or
in the rubbish of the field, especially
if the moldy ears are thrown down
when found or are left in the field, and
thus is carried over from year to year.
Perhaps the mold is not so apparent
this season as usual because of a lack
of just the kind of weather to propa-
gate it.
One Of the best corr experts in the
state, H. A. Winter, of Wenona, said
last year he believed that this dry rot
may have been the cause of so much
poor seed corn. 1t frequently happens
that an otherwise good looking a has
a trace of mold around the tips of the
grains just next the cob, perhaps only
on one side or one end, and so is ver.
looked, when the seed selection is
made.
1t seems as if 1t would be a good
time to stamp out the mold when
Iu6I6 Is d Slldll dllOuuL VI IT, ny uS-
stroying every ear that can be found.
From what is known of this disease
it certainly would be a safe and prac-
teal thing to take special pains to pre-
vent any of the moldy ears from re-
naming in the field or the corn crib
to contaminate sound corn.
Instead of dropping a moldy ear to
the ground or letting it remain in the
husk on the stalk, when discovered,
every such ear should be snapped and
thrown into a box attached to the
side of the wagon.
When unloading at the crib, every
ear at all affected with the mold
should be separated from the other
corn, throwing it into a box or Darrel
provided for the purpose. There is
very little feeding value, ever for
pigs and chickens in corn so dam
aged, and it would better be destroyed
by burning.

and, hugging the wall close, ran
toward the lake. Instantly the pursuer
broke into view. 1t was Bates, evil
IDENTIFY much excited and with an ugly
cut across his forehead. He carried
a heavy club, and, after listening for
a moment for sounds of the enemy, he
hurried after the caretaker.

were not more than a dozen yards
