Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1912-02-01


The next award Of this tro-
ply will be made at the next
National Corn Exposition,
which will be held in February,
1913, at Columbia, S. c. It is
planned to make this exposition
much broader in scope than
any held in the past, and con-
sequently a longer time will be
required for preparation. Spe-
cial buildings are being erected
for the exposition, the main
building to be 400 by 1877 feet,
ground measurements. The
show will last ten days. The
state of South Carolina has ap-
propriated $4,000 for the ex-
penses of the exposition and
the prospect is that Dixie will
"do herself proud" in an eff
fort to make his exposition the
greatest of it's kind ever held.

o corn. For two years he
p anted two rows Of Reds
Yellow Dent, then two of Alex.
ander's Gold Star dard, detas
sele7 lows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the char
acteristics he wanted to repro.
duce, planting these in breed
ing plots and maintaining care
full selection, so that in nine
years time he had developed a
W ell-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. Mr.. Kellogg as the
originator and manufacturer of
Toasted Corn Flakes naturally
has a deep interest in the de-
velopment of the higher grades
of corn, for the company of
which he is president, the Kel-
logy Toasted Corn Flake Co,
requires ten thousand bushels
of corn a day for the making of
its product. The Kellogg tro-
ply was offered to be awarded
in annual competition for the
best single ear of corn until
won twice by the same produc-
er. The fact that the kellogg
product is made only from Sc
lected white corn, while the
winning ear was of a pronounc-
ed yellow type, was a peculiar
feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won
in 1910 at Columbus, Ohio, by
R. A. James, of Charleston, ILL.,,
with a magnificent ear Of
Reid's Yellow Dent, but not so
perfect an ear as that which
originally won the trophy and
which has become known as
"the best ear of corn ever
grown"
Missouri Valley times. [volume] (Missouri Valley, Iowa) 1874-1931, 1912-02-01

In the first place, Palm
knows corn. If 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 it himself:
"It was in November, 1910,
and were just harvesting our
crop. The weather had been
good, but we were a little late
with 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 a sort of corn show
at my 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 exhib-
tied. There is a small box on
on every corn wagon in which
the most perfect ears are
thrown. These, when properly
selected, constitute the seed
corn, and among these more
perfect ears we occasionally
find an ear that we are willing
to exhibit in a contest.
ION the day the champion
ear was found, I 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 we'll room for me to take
and put away in the seed house.

Mr.. Fred G. Pain, styles him

to be one Of he Leading corn
experts in the afi;ry one
whose services are greatly in
demand as a judge of corn ex
hibits. Mr.. Palm asks for no
greater honor or distinction
than to be known as a plain
Hoosier farmer, ard while he
openly processes a reasonable
pride in the achievement Of
growing the famous ear Of corn
which was adjudged the most
perfect ever grown, it is with
out a shadow of ostentation.

So there's the story of the
champion ear as Palm told him
self. And on the strength of
it who will say that Fred G..
Palm doesn't justly merit the
title, "The Man who Knows
Corn?
But that's not all of Palms
story. He tells it willingly,
though modestly, for he knows
that his story whenever told is
a source of great encourage
ment to the farmers who never
had a better chance than he
had himself. Palm was born
and brought up 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 six
teen years ago. He had been
on the road as a grocery spe-
cialty salesman, when he took a
notion that he would rather be
an agriculturist, so he took q
few short courses at Purdue
University and rented a portion
Of the farm he now occupies.
Nine years ago he began care
fully breeding this new variety

a most attractive title. THE Heart of

Use of the charm of the story. This
is a story of vivid contrasts. The
people of the mountains are brought
in contact with the people of the Blue
Grass. The main interest of the plot
revolves about a boy and a girl of
the hills and a boy and a girl of the
plains. 1t is their development from
a crude childhood to wiser maturity
that enchains the reader. They are
real people, as appealing and lovable
as Chad or June of Jox's previous
stories. There are dramatic action,
humor, sentiment and pathos, and
something of political turmoil. 1t is
a story ear at hand in it's people and
interest-a picture of modern Ken

AGAINST TIL FIELD.

That the Harmon. Underwood and
Clark forces are working together to
defeat Woodrow Wilson is shown by
their tactics in the various states. In
Wisconsin Harmon and Underwood
remained out of the race and left
Clark with the field to himself
against Wilson. In Florida and
other southern states Underwood will
be the only reactionary on the track.
In New England and Atlantic states
Harmon will do the turn. In Massa-
chusetts the allies are leaving the
thing to Governor Foss. The demo-
cratic race is Wilson against the
field with Wall street backing the
field. Progressive democrats should
meet the situation by voting unani-
mously for the New Jersey governor.

HOW THEY STAND.
~>A%>><~>>~>>

A local plea has been made for the
nomination of George T. Cochran for
congress on the strength of the state
ment he is a true progressive. But
the argument for Mr.. Cochran comes
from a ~reactionary ource M is self
contradictory. Furthermore Coch-
rams own record brands him as a re-
dictionary rather han a progressive.
Two years ago Mr.. Cochran was a
supporter of the assembly and re-
Ceived the assembly nomination for
the office he now holds. When he
entered the ace for congress a
month or two & Mr.. Cochran made
his debut under standpat auspices.
Apparently he had the united sup
port of the machine forces every
where until Judge Ellis entered the
game. Seemingly he still has some
local standpat support despite the
fact Judge Ellis is in the race.
In the present primary campaign
neither Judge Ellis or Mr.. Cochran
can properly sail under progressive
colors. Their affiliations and their
records hold them in the other camp.
They are entitled to standpat sup
port but not to progressive votes.
The distinctly progressive candi-
dates for the republican nomination
for congressman from eastern Ore
gon are Jerry Rusk and y. ]. Sinnott.
Both these men have actual records
that enable them to t%ruthfully stand
forth under the progressive flag. OF
the two mel Mr.. Rusk is the more
pronounced progressive and he is
making the more aggressive cam
paign. He is fighting openly as a
Roosevelt progressive and a foe OF
Taft and standpatism. Men who are
ardently for the progressive cause
should vote for Rusk. Those who
want a progressive who is perhaps
equally true to the faith but who
travels under less steam may be ex-
pected to vote for Sinnott. 1t will be
natural for the reactionaries to di-
vide their support between Messrs.
Ellis and Cochran. c. E. Roosevelt,
the fifth man in the race, is running
upon a personal platform.
In selecting their candidates for
congress eastern oregon republicans
will be wise IL they look at the rec
ords Of the candidates as well as at
the slogans under which they are
waging their campaigns. They all try
to wear progressive clothes these
days but their records they cannot
change.

DISCOVERY OF THE POLES.

The discoveries discovered the north
pole awhile ago
And confirmed our worst suspicious
it was mostly ice and snow.
We had waited long and worried;
many fearless men had failed
But at last heroic courage and the
arctic dogs prevailed;
The great secret of the ages was I'M
covered for mankind;
One whose fame will last forever
found what others failed to find
Let him wear the laureis proudly thai
are granted to the few;
But in what way. gentle reader, has
it benefited you?
The south pole is no longer one OF
natures mysteries;
Fearless men have gazed upon it, af-
ter crossing frozen seas;
Drawing all the awful dangers thai
were crowded on the way,
They have taken its dimensions; it is
on the chart today.
In the centuries to follow men may
still reach distant goals,
But to this will fall the honor of dis
covering the poles.
Still, the world, despite the finding
of the poles, goes round and
round;
And have you been benefited by the
fact that they were found?
Selected.
