Breeding corn today has for its OBJ
ject more than the development OF an
Increase in yield. 1t has been clearly
proven that by proper selection, va
rieties OF corn can be secured which
have a feeding value far above the
ordinary kind grown. This means an
Increase in oil content and more es-
pecially an increase in protein.
1t is possible and highly probable
that in the future when corn will be
more largely used for commercial pur-
poses than at present, sales will be
made on the basis Of protein content,
lust as milk is sold today on the basis
If fat content.
In fact, some OF the large glucose
factories have already adopted this
plan. It is evidently unfair to the
man who produces corn with II per
cent. protein to receive no more than
the man who markets an 8 per cent.

There has been much misunder'
