but they encountered q pleasant one by
wrestling the 3000-meter team race from

Americans who composed the team are
milers rather than two-milers. and 1t was
expected the British contestants would
run away with the event. But the Union
Jack came only third, with the blue and
yellow Of Sweden dangerously close to
the Americans for first.
Adams brothers had the standing jump
their own way. They feared only the

him. The other competitors were close
together. The base was placed at 100
meters -four feet three inches) at the
start and raised five centimeters at 4

The champion ear of corn was not
an accident. There can be no greater
lesson in h value of careful study
and painstaking selection of seed and
breeding than the experiences 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 INT his champion ear.
In the first place, Palm knows corn.
II there were no more proof Of this
fact than the bare story of the develop
ment and discovery of the champion
ear. 1T would be enough. And in proof
of This fact, here is the story as he told
it himself:
1T was in November, 1910, and we
were just harvesting our crop. The
weather had. been good, but we were q
little late with h harvest. The men
We're going through the fields with the
wagon In the usual way gathering the
corn, and the harvest was a promising
one.
We 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 exhibited. There
- Aio WA VII SSSAy COIIl wagon III
which the most perfect ears are brown.
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
a contest.
ION the day the champion ear was
found, l was at the house and al dinner
time one of the men brought in it and
laid 1t, with a humble of other ears,
upon the window sill in the we'll room
for me to take and put away in the
seed house.
"'Well.' 1 said. do you think you've
got a good ear there?'
1T looks to me like a good ear he
said. What do you think Of it?'
II picked it up, and looked it over.
Well I said finally. I think it is the
most perfect ear of corn ever saw.
It's good enough to win the w. K. KEEL
logg $1,000 trophy this year at Omaha
And I was confident the I
saw it, and looked it over, that / held
the trophy winner In my hand. So
much so that when 1 left for Omaha
to exhibit the ear, 1 took it out of NV
grip and showed it to the station agent
with the words, that's the ear I'm go
ing to win the $1,000 trophy WITH"

Many pearl divers in Japan are WON

are taught to dive for pearls. Most OF
them are swimmers from early child

pearl diving is necessary, nevertheless.
The women divers wear q special dress

their hair into a hard knot. Glasses
are worn to protect their eyes. When
the women jump into the water they

into which they drop the oysters they

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. the man who knows corn?
But that's not all of Palms story
He tells it willingly. though modestly.
for he knows THAI his story whenever
told is a Source of great encouragement
of the thousands of farmers who never
had Il better chance than he had HIM
self. Palm was born and brought up
on q farm near Newtown, Ind. He has
never owned a foot OF farm land in
his life, and the s6o-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 Il farm
er began about 16 years ago. He had
been on the o as Il grocery speciality
salesman. when he took a notion that
he would rather be an agriculturist,
so he took a few short courses at Pur-
due 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 Reid's yellow
Dent. then two of AleXander's Gold
Standard, detasseiing the Gold Stand
ard. From the detasseled rows he
picked for seed only the ears carrying
the characteristics he wanted to repro
duce, planting these in breeding plots
and maintaining careful selection so
that in nine years time he had devel-
oped a we'll settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the first
winner Of the w. x. Kellogg national
corn trophy. a handsome silver and
