carefully breeding this new variety Of
corn. For two years he planted two
rows of Reid's Yellow Dent then two
of Alexanders Gold Standard, detas'

detasseled rows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the character

The Palm champion ear was the
first winner of the w. X. Kellogg Ma

ment of the higher grades of corn, for
the company of which he is president,
the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co.,
requires ten thousand bushels of cora
a day for the making of its product
The kellogg trophy was offered to be
awarded in annual competition fof
the best single ear OF corn until won
twice by the same. producer. The fact
that the Kellogg product is made. only
from selected white corn, while the
winning ear was of pronounced yell
low type, was a peculiar feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in
1910 at Columbus. Ohio, by r. A.
James, of Charleston, H., with
magnificent ear of Reds Yellow

that which originally won the trophy
