DefeRting Great Unrest,
In its work of scientific agriculture and
its reclamation projects the government is
defeating the great unrest that seems to
pervade the country, For the first time,
perhaps, there is a general reallzation Of
not merely the possibility, but the GER
tainty that all arabic land of the entire
country will ere long be settled upon and

and be gone forever, Already nearly all
the lands which may be farmed by ordl-
nary methods have become the property
Of the small farmer and today the pro-
speotlve settler turns his eyes toward the
irrigated and so-called dry farm lands
OF the arid and semi-arid states where the
bulk of the un%oceupled land is found.
All the exhibits of the government show
that the federal departments are making
good; that a body Of men of the soil, who
have supplemented their bringing up on
the farm by the things taught by science
are gathering all the things from the praG-

Purposes and Value of the Great National Corn Exposition

--aHE Corn show-what Is Il?
The story OF how the latent
forces Of the law which control
E reproduction can be made to
tkHAA make the soil yield more Of it's
- riches TO the agrioulturist will
be told at the National Corn exposition
which opens on December 6.
The Corn show exemplifies the achieve
ments attained In the development Of plant
values, by the same kind Of painstaking
study and scientific care hat has given
highbred animal life. The utilization OF
heredity is the whole story. There is a
rather material vindleatibn Of the doctrine
OF the survival OF the fittest In the lesson
taught by the Corn chow. The exposition
is concerned with not corn alone, but all
grains and grasses II might well be
called an agricultural show since its scope
has been so much widened beyond the
original beginning.
The exposition might be compared to a
worlds electrical show. In such a show the
electricians show how to harness and drive
electricity, making II do the work which
men do, but In greater quantity. At the
National Corn exposition, scientists and
farmers who are making brains with
Muscle, shows how to harness up and
use the energy Of heredity to increase the
production Of food in the world.
In short. the exposition shows that re-
production Is the basis Of the creation OF
new wealth. 1t is an inspiration to any
one. whether farmer or business man, be-
cause It deals with the work Of supplying
the worlds necessities, of making men and
women more prosperous and happy by Civ
ing them more and better food.
Back Of the exposition and meeting in
Omaha during the time the grains and
grasses are on display, are two organiza-
lions which are responsible for increasing
the products Of American farms $1,000, OOO,O OJ
snnually-the National Corn association
and the American Breeders association.
These organizations assure the attendance
Of men who have international renuto-
tons as leaders in agricultural thought:
Economists. scientists, builders of great
railroads which have made possible the in
tense development of the agricultural re-
gion and kept the stream Of pioneers ever
pouring into the new lands Of the west.
Besides these organizations, twenty-five
state agricultural colleges and experiment
tai stations have put their tremendous In
fluence and resources into the corn show
