ers who never had a better
chance than he had him
self. Palm was borne and bought
mp on a farm near Newtown,
Ind. He has never owned a
foot Of farm land in his life, and
the 36O-acre farm on which
the champion ear Of corn which
won the Kellogg Trophy was
grown on a rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as
farmer began about sixteen
year ago. He had been on the
road as a grocery specially sales
man, when he took notion
that he would rather be an agri.
culturist, so he took q few short
courses at Purdue University
and rented portion Of the farm
he now occupies. Nine years ago
he began carefully breeding
this new variety of corn. For
two years he planted two sows
Of Alexander's Gold Standard,
detasseling the Gold Standard.
From the detasseled rows he
picked for seed only the ears
carrying the characteristics he
wanted to reproduce, planting
there in breeding plots and
maintaining careful selection, 80
that in nine years time he had
DEVELOPED a well.settled type.
The Palm champion ear was
the first winner Of the w. X.
Kellogg National Corn Tropy, .

cup made by Tiffany of New
York at a cost of 81, 900. Mr..
Kellogg as the originator and
manufacturer of Toasted Corn
Flakes naturally has a deep in.
terest in the development Of
the higher grades Of corn, for
the company of which he is pres
ident, the Kellogg Toasted Corn
Flake Co, requires ten thousand
bushels of corn a day for the
making of it's product. The
kellogg trophy was offered TO be
awarded in annual competition
for the best single ear of corn
until won twice by the same
producer. The fact that the

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 It himself;

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 wagons in usual way

harvest was promising one.

There is small box ON every

pefect eais are thrown. These,
when properly selected, cons,i.
tute the seed corn and among
these more perfect ears We oc.
crsionally find an ear that We
are willing To exhibit in a con
test.
'On the day the champion ear
was found. I was At The house

age Of land discovery on this

But the discoveries should
not despair. There are bound
less acres awaiting conquest In
Texas. We have in this State
vast continents OF agriculture,
new zones Of trade and new plan

The champion ear of corn was
not an accident. There can be
no greater lesson in the value OF
careful study and painstaking
selection of seed and breeding
than the exeriences Of this
same Palm. The farmer who
thinks he stands a chance to go
into his corn field and by a piece
OF luck pick out an ear which
Nature has fashioned even more
perfectly and with it wrest the
honors from this Indiana man,
cannot do better to disabuse his
mind Of this fallacious notion
than to read the story of Palm
and his champion ear.

Just countryman-that' S
alp' is the way the grower of this
remarkable ear of corn, Mr..
Fred G. Palm, styles himself.
Though he is admitted to be one
of the leading corn experts in
the country-one whose services
are greatly in demand as judge
of corn exhibits, Mr.. Palm asks
for no greater honor or distinc-
ton than to be known as plain
HOOsier farmer. and while he
openly processes reasonable
pride in the achievement Of
growing the famous ear OF corn
which was adjudged the most
perfect ever grown it Is without
q shadow of Ostentation.
