In the first place, Palm knows
corn. If there We're no more proof CT
this fact than the bare story of the
development and discovery of the
champion ear, it would be enough.
And in proof of this fact, here is
the story>as he told it himsalf.
1T was in Novmber, 1910, and We
were just harvesting our crop. The
weather had BEN good, but We werc
a little late with the harvest. The
men Were going through the fields

I'VE have 4 sort of conn show at
my farm all the time, andthere is al

ears of corn-ears sufficiently true

on every corn wagon in which ihe
most perfect ears ars thrown. These,
when properly sadeat.d. consditute
the sead corn, and among these more
perfect ears We occasionally find un
ear that We ana willing to exhibit IN
a contest.
"On the day the champion ear
was found, l was at ghe hose and

1t in and laid it,with numbsr of

But that's net all off Palms story.
He tells it willingly, though od-stly,
for he knows that his sorry Whenever
told is a source of great encourage
ment of the thousands of farmers who
never had a bather chance than he
had himsalf. Palm was born and
brought up on q farm near Newton,
Ind. He has never owned a foot of
farm land in his life, and .ihs S60-acre
farm on which the champion ear OF
corn which own the Kellogg Trophy
was grown is a rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as a
farmer bagan about sixte-m years
ago. He had beon on the road as a
grocery specially salesman, when he
took a motion that he would rather
be an agricuhnrist, so he took few
short courses at Purdue university
and rented a portion of the far'm he
now occupies. Mime Years ago he be-

D TheWorlds Champion Ear \

The champion ear of corn was not
an accid mt. There can be no greater
lesson in the value Of car5ful study
and painstaking selection of seed and
breeding than the experiences of This
same Palm. The farmer who thinks
he stands a chance to go dnto his cor
field and by piece of luck pick an
ear which Nature has fashioned Gwen
more perfectly and with it wa'est the
horrors from this Indiana man, cam
not do bett er TO disabuse his mime
of this fallacious notion than to
read the story of Palm and his cham
pion ear.

"Just a countryman-that's all" is
the way the growsr of this remarka-
biz ear of corn, Mr.. Fred c. Palm,
styles himself. Though he lis admit
ted to be one of the leading corn ex-
perts in the country-one whose SER
vices are greatly i'm demand as a
Judge of corn exhibits, Mr.. Palm asks
for no graater honor or distinction
than to be known as plain Hoosien

FLAySEED

While fluctuations on the flaxseed
market asst week were sometimes
bearish and sometimes bullish, the
general trend of the market was clear
ly downward, on account of the large
receipts and pressing offers from the
country. The market was held up to
some extent by the reports of heavy
SHOWS in the west. A vast amount Of
faxseed has been showed under in
the northern part Of North Dakota and
much of it cannot be threshed until
spring. Yet the arrivals have been
so large that the bullish effect of such
news has only been temporary. Trad
ers know we'll hat there will be an
abundance of f1axseed for use all win
ter. even If a large quantity is buried
under the snow and will not be mark
eted until spring Frozen aaxseed
does not lose it's oil. and without doubt
large quantities of such seed will be
threshed in the spring and thrown up
on the market for oil purposes. Such
flaxseed cannot be used for seeding,
and many Of the farmers in the west
ern part Of North Dakota know this
at their W cost. But, inasmuch as
1t makes good oil. large quantities of
1t. thrown upon the market at n
time, are bound to have a strong bear
ish tendency on the price. The seed
Is not lost but merely covered up.

MARKET

London. Nov. 5.-Money was easier
and discount rates were firm today.
The Bank of England secured most of
the $4,000 new gold offered in the
open market.
Pending a clearer outlook and
definite diplomatic action in the Bal
kan difficulty traders on the stock ex-
changes are inclined to be cautious in
their dealings. Transactions were mod
crate today and prices were weakened
by continental and local selling and
the closing was only a fraction above
the lowest. Consols lost an eighth ow-
ing to the stiff carry-over rates. Home
rails and Balkan stocks showed q
slight advance.
American securities opened a frac-
ton lower under the load Of Canadian
Pacihc: A rally on covering followed.
but selling was renewed later and the
list gradually eased off. In the after
noon Canadian Pacific recovered a
point Of its early loss, but trading was
limited in other shares and the mar.
ket closed quiet.

LAST WEEKS
STEEL MARKET
Significant Feature was Plac.
ing of Heavy Contracts
Big Export Trade.

New York. Nov. 5.-The most sig
nificant feature in the steel trade last
week was the placing of heavy con-
tracts for finished steel products by
large consumers for shipment over the
third and fourth quarters Of 1912.
Manufacturers outside of railroad
equipment makers apparently have
become convinced of the necessity of
covering their requirements far ahead
to insure reasonable shipments next
Year. The heavy contracts placed in
clude the steel plates, and bands. steel
pipe and tin plate rs we'll as rails.
Contracts for 261, 900 tons of rails
either were placed directly with the
mill or reservations. We're made for
1918 rollings. The railroads also plac-
ed orders for nearly $4,000 cars and
ninety-seven locomotives, with in
quiries still in the market for 40, 900
cars and 200 locomotives.
The pressure for semi-inished steel
was but little relieved. although the
output Of steel ingots during the
month a 2.SOO.0 600 tons. which en-
ceeded the previous maximum month
by at least 100000 tons.
Additional sales of rolling billets
were made in the open market at SIS
to $50 in lots of from 5000 to $4,000
tons each. while foreign billets sold
as high as $35 at the mill.
The export trade continued heavy
throughout the month of October.
The Carnegie Steel company took
foreign orders for 400. 900 tons Of steel
products during the first nine months
of the year. which is a new high rec
ord. Sales of about $4,000 IONS of
bessemer and basic iron were made in
the PittSburg and ST. Louis district
during the week. and 1t is estimated
that in all distributing districts pig
iron contracts aggregated about 15O,-
600 tons. making the total for the
month of October a little more than
900, 900 tons.

The Pnllards.

The news that the Pollard's Juvenile
Opera company will shortly revisit this
city after an absence Of rel three
years, comes as a pleasant surprise.
They were youngster strangers when
they first dropped down upon us. but
soon o their way Into Jul favor.
They are more like one happy family
than any other band Of players on the
road. They show evidence of the most
excellent training both, on and off the
stage. Indeed it would be hard to
gather a company of youngsters rang
ing from fourteen to eighteen years SO
we'll behaved, SO susceptible OF thor
ough training and whose conduct both
in the hotel and on the stage was SO
absolutely free from cause for re-
proach.
The Australian maidens are under
the chaperonage of three ladies. They
r enthusiastic about the profession
in which they are growing up. and
young though they are. they fully ap-
preciate the value Of public approval.
A more earnest and energetic troupe
of Thespians would be hard to find
with the happy knack of making per-
sonal friends of their audiences. until
their departure is regarded with re-
greet n their return looked forwad

IMPORTANT TO
HOMES7EADERS
Total Cultivation Rather
than Amount Done Annu-
ally Will be Accepted.

Minot. n. D.. Nov. 5.-The depart.
ment of the interior has just modified
the new homestead law in a most i'm.
portant particular. BY an order jus,
issued by the general landofiice and
signed by S. v. Proudf1t. assistant
commissioner, the matter Of time OF
cultivation of homesteads is modified
so that it is practically ruled that in
stead of a homesteader having to cul.
tivate so much each Year. his tina'
proof will be allowed on his showing
quired average. The circular. which
is addressed to the land offices. reads
as follows:
Your attention is directed 10 the
following provision in the act approx
ed August 81. 1912. making approp.
ration for sundry civil expenses o1
the government for the fiscal year
ending June 80. 1913.
THAT the failure of a homestead
entryman to give notice election OF
making final proof as required by the
act Of June 6. 1912. being an act the
sections 2291 and 2297 of the revised
to homesteads shall not in anywise
prejudice his rights to proceed in &C.
ccrdance with the law under which
such entry was made.
In view Of the foregoing paragraph
%. circular No. 142. OF July Is, 1919,
is no longer in force.
In this connection YOU will observe
the following provision Of paragraphs
18 and 10 Of said circular:
BY the section I am authorized,
under rules and regulations to be pre-
scrihed by me. to reduce the required
area Of cultivation. Acting thereun-
der, l have prescribed the following
rule to govern action on proof where
the homestead entry was made prior
to June s. 1912, but through failure
of election must be adjudicated under
the new law.
Respecting cultivation necessary to
be shown upon such an entry. in all
cases where, upon considering the
whole record, the good faith of the
entryman appears. the proof will be
acceptable If 1t shows cultivation OF
at least o~ne-sixteenth for one year and
OF at least one-eighth for the next
year and each succeeding year until
hnal proof. without regard to the par
ficular year of the homestead period
In which the cultivation of the one
sixteenth was performed.
The new law also requires that the
proof shall he made within five years
from date of entry and If the entry
Is to be administered under that law
the department Is not authorized to
extend the period within which proof
may be made. but when submitted aft
er that time. in the absence Of adverse
claims. the entry may be submitted to
the board Of equitable adjudication for
confirmation"
