HIGHLY FAVORED
SENATE COMMITTEE GIVES REA-
SONS WHY GOLDEN GATE Is
BEST PLACE FOR PANAMA
CANAL EXPOSITION.

Washington. tFsb. 9.--That the ex-
position in commemoratlon of the
completion of the Panama Canal to be
held in San Francisco will be the
greatest ever known is the opinion
expressed by the senate committee
on industrial expositions in the report
presented the senate today.
This view is based on the fact that
$17500,000 has been promised by
California for the proposed exposr-
tion.
Other reasons given are that San
Francisco asks no pecuniary aid from
the federal government, that the loca-
tion at that point will cause many to
travel through the canal tnat the
trip will be of educational advantage
to visitors from the east, and espec-
tally that it will be an encouragement
to the trade with the Orient.

GOVERNMENT WITHDRAWALS
OF PUBLIC COAL LANDS

Over 10000 acres of public lands
believed to be underlain by coal, in
Nevada and Utah, were withdrawn
from entry during March, in further
ance of the government policy of
having the geological survey classify
the value of public coal lands. In
the same month, as a result of detail
ed geological examination, 1,951,021
acres of land within the coal fields in
Colorado, Montana, New Mexico,
South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming,
found by the geological survey to be
"non-coalo in character, were return
ed to the public domain. During
March 1,220,74s acres were classified
by the survey as "coal" land and
prices placed thereon aggregating
$37 81, 740. Had these coal lands
been appraised at the old maximum
rate of so or 500 an acre, their valua-
tion would have been $2l ,293 ,l4l, a
difference in favor of the government,
as the result of a single months work,
of $16,67s, 500.

JAMES WINNER OF KELLOGG
TROPHY
CONTINUED from Page One.)


type Of yellow dent corn.
Mr.. James. the winner, is a vigorous
farmer about 40 pears of age and of
pleasing personality, a man who has
given careful study to corn culture,
and who has achieved his success as a
GRAND champion winner only by years
of hard work and painstaking seed Sc
lection and careful breeding from
season to season.
Illinois growers are especially elated
over the result for the reason that this
is the first time in four years that the
honors have been wrested from the
state Of Indiana. Last years cham
pion ear, the first winner of the Kel-
ioge trophy, was grown by Fred c..
palm, of Newtown, Ind. 1t was also
of Reds Yellow Dent variety, crossed
with Alexander Gold Standard. Last
years prize winner is the most per
fectly formed ear of the two, though
it requires a careful Judge to distin-
guish the points of superiority.
The trophy awarded to Mr.. James
was made by Tiffany, of New York,
for w. X. Kellogg, at a cost of $1,000.
1t is made of Sterling silver, bronze
and enamels, and is a truly artistic
creation. 1t stands 80 inches in height.
Mr.. Kellogg's interest in corn growing
can be understood when it is stated
that the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co, of which he is president, has an
output requiring 10000 bushels of corn
a day, raw product, for its manufac-
ture. A peculiar feature is that while
the Kellogg product is made exclusive
ly from selected white corn, the KEEL
logg trophy has been won each time
by a yellow corn exhibit. The trophy
is offered for annual competition I'M
til won twice by the same grower.
The National Corn Show at which
the award was made, was an event of
tremendous magnitude. At one of the
sessions President Taft was present
and delivered an address.
