In the first place, Palm knows corn.
II there were no more proof of 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 il him.
self:
1T was in November, 1910, and we
were just harvesting our crop. The
weather had been good, but we were a
little late with the harvest. The men
were going through the fields with the
wagon in the usual way gathering the
corn, and the harvest was a promising
one.
I'VE have sort of corn show at NV
farm all the time, and there is ALWAYS
an award for exceptionally good ears of
corn-ears sufficiently true to type to
permit of their being exhibited. There
is small box on every corn wagon in
which the most perfect ears are thrown.
These, when properly selected, consti-
tute the seed corn, and among these
more perfect ears we occasionally find
an ear that we are willing to exhibit in
contest.
"On the day the champion ear was
found, was at the house and at dinner
time one of the men brought it in and
laid it, with a number of other ears.
upon the window sill in the well room
for me to take and put away in the seed
house.
well, said, do you think you've
got a good ear there?'
" 1t looks to me like good ear, he
said. What do you think of it?'
IL picked it up and looked it over.
We'll, said finally, Il think it is the
most perfect ear of corn l ever saw

1t the ear, l took it out of my grip and

words, That's the ear I'm going to win
the s., 900 trophy with
So there's the story of the champion
ear as Palm told it himself. And on
the strength of it who will say that
Fred c. Palm doesn't justly merit the
title: 1.-The Man who Knows Corn"
But that's not all of Palms story. He
tells 1T willingly, though mooestly. for

is source OF great encouragement to |

61s Unique Story fits Discovery

Just countrymsn-that's all" is
the way the grower of this remarkable
ear Of corn, Mr.. Fred C. Palm, styles
himself. Though be is admitted to be
one OF the leading corn experts in the
country-one whose services are great
ly in demand as judge of corn exhib-
It's Mr.. Palm asks for no greater honor
or distinction than to be known as a
plain Hoosier farmer, and while he Open
iy processes a reasonable pride in the
achievement of growing the famous ear
OF corn which was adjudged the most
perfect ever grown, it is without a
shadow of ostentation.
Tazewell Republican. [volume] (Tazewell, Va.) 1892-1919, 1912-02-22
} TheMOrldS Champion Ear

The champion ear of corn was not an
accident There can be no greater les
son in the value of careful study and
painstaking selection of seed and breed
ing than the experiences of this same
Palm. The farmer who thinks he stands
chance to go into his cornfield and by
a piece of luck pick out an ear which
nature has fashioneded even more per-
fectly and with it wrest the honors from
this Indiana man, cannot do better to
disabuse his mind of this fallacious no.
ton than to read the story of Palm and
his champion ear.

better chance than he had himself.
Palm was born and brought up en- a
farm near Newtown, Ind. He has new
er owned foot of farm land in his life.
and the 360-scre farm on which the
champion ear of corn which won the
Kellogg Trophy was grown is a rented

Mr.. Palms real experience as fafm-
