storing of ten millions Of bushels OF
seed corn. Tt is estimated that 100000
GU bushels OF grain will depend upon
whether the seed selected was Of good
heredity and so preserved that each
kernel will grow.
Enriches Its own Soil.
One Of the greatest gifts with which
nature has endowed corn is the ability
to enrich its own soil. In the corn belt
a rotation of crops of corn land is nee
essary at less frequent intervals than
almost any other product Indeed.
some lands are not entirely impov-
erished by a yield of corn for 80 sue
cessive years And even on the land
where rotation is desirable at inter-
walls Of three or four years, the crops
which restore the soil are those which
are suited as forage for stock, so that
double fertilizer is thus supplied
through these crops and the litter
from stables.
One of the leading figures at the
Columbus exposition will be Eugene
Funk, president Of the exposition COM
pany and the largest individual scien-
tific corn, grower in the world Mr.
Funk is the head Of a famous family
Of corn growers and breeders whose
holdings comprise more than $4,000
acres in Illinois. 5000 acres Of which
are devoted to the cultivation Of corn
He and his brothers have been interest
ed for years in the work of propagat-
ing a harder and fuller ear of corn.
What he viii have to say at the ex-
position vii be followed with the
keenest interest by his associate corn
growers.
The Dent and Flint Contest.
An interesting contest between the
two great varitfes of corn-the dent
and the f1int-is apt to take place dur
ing the exposition in Columbus. Until
the last year the showing made by
the dent corn was Invariably superior
10 the flint variety. but at a New Eng
land corn show held in Worcester,
Massachusetts,. in 1910 a movement to
have the corn tested by the dry sub
stance yield was successful By means
Of an invention Of the department Of
agriculture the percentage OF water
was determined and deducted from the
grain After this process. it was found
that the flint corn was the more pro-
life, thus marking the first victory for
this variety in the history of agricuI-
ture in New England
The invention Of the department Of
agriculture for ascertafnfng the
amount OF water in the grain was
mothered BY the necessity to deter
mine the moisture in corn designed for
expectation. It was expedient TO know
how much water various grades Of
cereals contained. and whether it was
so great as TO cause decay during the
long periods of transportation across
the seas. The process includes a boil
ing in OIL drying and reweighing.
Efforts are being made to utilize

~ ERHAPS you are discouraged IN
~ what you are attempting to ac-
complish, and perhaps you are
thinking that it does not matter, any
how, whether you succeed or whether
you fail.
But stop for a moment and consider
how much 1t meant to the world that
some other people kept on in their en-
deavors.
There was Columbus, who sat OUT to
find a new continent. It was colos-
sal undert aking and required colossal
courage and perseverance.
Surprising he had turned back be-
fore the course was half covered What
a difference 1t would have made to
the world. Not only a difference in a
geographical sense, but IN material
and a moral sense because his courage
and endurance have left lasting les
sons to humanity.
FuItOu's Perseverance.
Then there was Robert Fulton, who
conceived the idea of steam power for
crossing the ocean. He worked years
and years. in the face of every discour-
agement before his dream became
reality.
Had he given up we might still be
forced to cross the sen by slow and un-
safe process OF sailing vessels.
Cyrus Field coceived the idea OF an
ocean cable. Thirteen years elapsed,

LIKES HIS SUNDAY DRAM, MAYBE.

From Del Rio (Texas) News.
About the meanest, dirtiest thing a
man can be guilty Of doing is TO be-
tray confidence-for self or public
interest.
Two FL Paso Herald reporters. IN
order to make a scoop" for the paper,
managed to get a drink on Sunday at
a saloon, paid for it and reported to
the police.
If newspaper reporters find it expe-
dent to act as spies, detectives and
informers. it would seem that the po-
lice department is almost an unneces-
sary one and could be abolished.
1t is well to expose all infractions
Of Sunday or other laws, but the public
will scarcely endorse the means to
serve the end" In our opinion 1t is
despicable and dishonorable.
