entries for the national show will be
kept within bounds and the flood of crib
corn which nearly swamped the Oma-
ha show viii be avoided. The prize
list will include the smaller. grains and
the grass seeds and also sheaf exhibits,
and thus broadly planned grain show
will be assembled. The colleges and
agricultural stations will be well rep
resented.
In order TO give King Corn a proper
palace the show will be splendidly
housed in the seven fine buildings used
for the Ohio state fair. All the usual
features of such shows-machinery
displays, entertainments, meetings Of
state and national organizations, re-
ceptions to visitors from foreign lands.
etc.-will receive proper and fitting at
tention.
While corn, simple and in its various
modified forms. win be the center of
attraction at the exposition, the other
features will claim large amount Of
attention. There will be many ex-
hlbits of other grains, with prizes for
the best specimens.
or course no farmer will ask when
he reads of the elaborate preparations
for the national corn show, "Why all
this fuss about corn?" The townsman
may be tempted TO use the words, how
ever, and to them the following i'm
pressive figures are addressed: Three
billion one hundred and twenty-five
million seven hundred and thirteen
thousand Is the number OF bushels of
the great American cereal produced in
the United States this year from 114.-
100000 acres The total farm value of
these three billion and more bushels is

corn is far ahead of any other cereal.
Corn accounts for more than one
third OF the total valuation of all the
principal farm crops of the country,
which is S3,7S5.464. 900 this year.
Every year some new use is found
for corn. For example, nearly 1000 900
gallons of corn oil extracted from the
germ of the corn are produced In this
country annually. Most of the oil is
used In the manufacture OF cheap
grades of rubber, the oil of the corn be-
ing mixed with the rubber. From the
pith of the cornstalk is manufactured
cellulose, used to render the hulls of
warships impervious to water. Strange
to say, from the same material OF
which this protection for the fighters
is made gun cotton. intended for their
destruction is also manufactured. Ex-
periments have shown that there are
bright hopes for the utilization of the
cornstalk In the manufacture of pa
per.
The rapidly Increasing use OF corn In
various ways has lent decided interest
