chance than he had himself.
Palm was born and brought ur
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 is a rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as
a farmer began about sixteen
years ago. He had been on the
road as a grocery speciality sales
man, when he took a notion
that he would rather be an agri-
culturist, so he took a few short
courses at Purdue University
and rented a 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 rows
of Reds Yellow Dent, then two
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
these in breeding plots and main
tanning careful selection, SO that
in nine years time he had de-
veloped a well settled type.
The Palm champion ear was
the first winner of the w. K.
Kellogg National Corn Trophy,
a handsome silver and enamel
cup made by Tiffany OF New
York at a cost of 1000. Mr..
Kellogg originator and manu-
facturer of Toasted Corn Flakes
naturally has a deep interest in
the development of the higher
grades of corn, for the company
of which he is president, the
Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co., requires ten thousand bush
els of corn a day for the making
of its product. The Kellogg
trophy was offered to be award
ed in annual competition forth
best single ear of corn until won
twice by the same producer.
The fact that the kellogg product
is made only from selected
" hite corn, while the winning
was Of the pronounced yellow
type, was peculiar feature.

this remarkable ear Of corn, MIR.
Fred G. Palm, styles himself.
Though he is admitted to be one
Of the leading corn experts IN

are greatly in demand as a
Judge of corn exhibits, Mr.. Palm
asks go greater honor or dis

the development and discovery
Of the champion ear, it would
be enough. And in proof of
this fact, here is the story as he
tod it himself:
1T was in November, 1910,
and we were just harvesting
our crop. The weather had
been good, but we were 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.

most. perfecs ears are thrown.
These, when p-operl7 selected,
constitute the seed corn, and
among these more perfect ears
we occasionlJ end IN ear that
we are willing to exhibit in a

"On the day the champion
ear was found, I ~as at the
house and at dinner time one Of
the men brought is in and laid
it. with a number Of other ear7,
