| PAople who like to talk in millions ana
billions should revel in discussing the
corn crop. Corn was the gift Of the Ne"
World to the Ola. 1t probably originated

two ways to dispose Of it, 10 feed IT TO
cattle and, il the shape OF corn meal, TO

soon became rancid. Modern machinery
removes the germ, in which most of the
oil is ana which therefore caused tho
spelling, ana That has made it possible 70
keep and TO ship the meal.
Immense quantities Of this. meal are
now sold abroad, our exports OF IT
amounting annually TO >0o9oo barrels with
q value Of 81, $4,000. 1t is mixed with
other kinds OF -four ana baked into
very nutritious bread.
From the germ, which IS separated
from the kernel in the milling process.
