cars Of corn also are beautiful and the tasses

ruaces The stalk grows to a height OF Two
to IS feet depending upon the variety OF ehe
grain planted and the nourishment II re-
ceiyes Corn Is an annual, reaching It's full
maturity within a single season. sometimes
within 60 days of planting. and must. there'
fore be sown from the seed for each rechr-
ring crop year As botanical species 1t does
not of itself travel far and is propagated ra.
ther feebly by natural means. Consequently
the widespread knowledge of corn shows to
what extent 1t must have been cherished by
the Indians and how it must have been hand
ed on from one tribe and country to another.
There are six well-known kinds OF Indian
corn. with innumerable varieties. including
pop corn. flint corn. dent corn. soft or Cuzco
corn uhe name indicating some traditional
origin from PERU. and the delicious sweet
corn. The pop corn is supposed to be the di-
rect descendant Of the Mexican ancestor.
As a food product maize has few equals
among the cereals. The Indians thrived on it,
and long they continue its use they
show much of their pristine sturdiness. but
when by climatic other reasons 1t is de-
MED them they suffer in physique and morale.
In Asia and Africa maize is likewise a food
for man. but in north Europe it has not at
tained the popularity 1t merits. although its
nutrtive value far surpasses. at the same
cost. many of the food products the peasant
consumes. Strong effort has been made by
the United States government to introduce
corn into Europe in all its different culinary
forms. but the conservatism of the old world
is not easily overcome in favor of food pro
ducts from the new.

Pueblo Indians the Rio Grande. and from
them eastward to the Mississippi Carried
northward by the Iroquos and Algonquins. 1t
was stopped only by climatic severity at the
latitude of the Great Lakes and the lower
area of the state of Maine. Its culture ex
portions of Central America and even across
the Isthmus Of Panama; thence 1t was carried
into the Andean regions and extended finally
as far south in Chile the climate permitted
or as the Indian population desired. East OF
the Andes the spread of maize by nature was
restricted by the dense forests Of the Amazon
slope and by the lower altitude Of that great
drainage basin. because Indian corn requires
for its growth definite climatic conditions
which this portion Of South America does not
offer. There is exact evidence that the
region of the River Platte. now SO wonderfully
productive Of maize. was utilized by the
tive Indian tribes resident there prior to the
coming Of the Spaniards.
From America maize was first introduced
into Spain. Thence 1t spread throughout Eu-
rope and into Asia and Africa. In eastern Eu-
rope 1t unfortunately received the name of
Turkish wheat because of the erroneous
ton prevailing that the tpresen) West Indies
being India everything introduced from there
must necessarily come through Turkey. Other
confusing names imply some indefinite origin
OF this kind but the geographic prefix refers
simply to the commercial not to the agricul-
tural source of the grain. The Portuguese
carried maize into Africa in the sixteenth CEN
tury and by them 1t gradually spread over
much of the continent. In this connection 1t
Is interesting to note that the staple foods of
the wild Inhabitants of the dark continent
maize, manioc cassava and pineapple-have
all been introduced through some such routes
of trade and commerce.
Maize early reached India and Burmah It
grows there now everywhere among the hills
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1909-10-29

in which maize is eaten to-day in America are
all inherited directly from the aboriginal
planters and housewives from Cape Cod TO
Chile.
The corn of the present commercial mar
ket however. is n more highly developed
grain than that which the Europeans found
when they first landed. Science has improved
the species in this in other products of the
fields. The appropriate conditions of soil and
climate have been studied. with resulting In
creased knowledge the subject. Corn de-
mands rich land. Clay must be avoided;
swampy. undraned areas unsuitable while
too much shade. as is often caused by close
proximity to timber. is to be harmful
Land can be drained. however. timber can be
cut. the shady places can be utilized for
other purposes. Soil be improved by fer
tilzers. or in many cases fertilization may be
accomplished, while at the same time secon-
dairy crops may be raised by wide planting of
corn and intcrplanting between the rows.
Thus cotton can be grown along with corn
when the climate is favorable and good re-
suits often attained by growing peanuts as

plant. easily cultivated and rich in iii
nutritious elements. 1t can never be II
displaced as one OF the leading food
products for mankind.
Maize will not grow in all climates,
however. 1t requires long summers with piehl!
OF sunlight. hot days and nights with sum.
cient but not too much rain. The range best
suited for the crop is from As to 65 degrees r.
of mean temperature, but 1t will produce most
abundantly with maximum temperature OF
about so degrees F. and a rainfall Of from 30
to so inches. Frost kills the plant in all its
stages and 1t cannot flourish where the nights
are cold. no matter how favorable the other
conditions. In the United States an elevation
OF over 1000 feet seems too high for the COM
mercial growth of Indian corn, but of course
the farther south 1t is traced the higher is the
elevation at which luxuriant crops the
rule In Mexico vast maize fields are found
at a height of over $500 feet and in Peru it
grows at an altitude Of 10000 feet.
Indian corn was found over most of the
United States east of the Mississippi by the
earliest explorers and settlers 1t was the
crop to which the Indians gave most attention
and the great staple that turned them from
the nomadic life of the chase into the home
building people such agriculturists must
be. The primitive method of preparing the
ground was by ting with hoes made of clam
shells, but the English taught more improved
methods, although the latter learned the ad-
vantage of fertilizing with herrngs, which the
Indians applied abundantly to the surrounding
soil. Their hills were five feet apart-a prac-
tical distance that can be decreased only when
the soil Is rich and the climate very favorable.
As the explorers travelled southwark they
found different varieties and different methods
of preparing it for food. 1t was made into
meal: 1t boiled or parched or roasted.
Often 1t was prepared into a flour and served
as provision for a journey. The many forms

but even then there is
usually n little plot of
maize about the natives
home. The Portuguese
reached Java in 1896 and
China in 1916. bringing
maize with them. and as
no trustworthy evidence
has ever been brought
forward to the effect that
this grain was Known in
the far east prior to these
dates. 1t is safe to say
that its march from
America along this path
is well established.
Its geographical distri-
button. therefore. is to-day
worldwide. In America.

Australasia maize is a

therefore. places the first
home OF Indian corn in
the southern section OF
central Mexico. Here
lived the Mayas. the fore
most agriculturists of
America. who long pre-
ceded the Peruvians in
this art and whose mate
rial impress on their
country is ineradicable.
All the plants closely re-
lated to maize are Mexi-
can and the discovery OF
n very primitive form of
the plant in this part of
Mexico aids in reaching
this conclusion. Some
