With little underneath but nature
To constitute the filling feature,

D TheWorlds Champion Ear

The champion ear of corn was
not an accident. There can be no
greater lesson in the value of care
full study and painstaking selection
of seed and breeding than the ex-
periences 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.
The Mena weekly star. (Mena, Ark.) 1904-1977, 1912-03-21

years ago he began carefully breed
ing this new variety of corn. For
two years he planted two rows of
Reds Yellow Dent, then two Of
Alexander's Gold Standard, detas-
selling the Gold Standard. From
the detasseled rows he picked for
seed the ears carrying the char
acteristics he wanted to reproduce,
planting these in breeding plots
and maintaining careful selection,
so that in nine years time he had
developed well-settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the
first winner of the w. X. Kellogg
National Corn Trophy, a handsome
silver and enamel cup made by
Tiffany Of New York at a cost of
1000. Mr.. kellogg, as originator
and manufacturer of Toasted Corn
Flakes naturally has a deep inter-
est in the development of the high
er grades OF corn, for the company
of which he is president, the KEEL
logg Toasted Corn Flake Co., re
quires ten thousand bushels of corn
day for the making of its product.
The Kellogg trophy was offered to
be awarded in annual competition
for the best single ear of corn I'M
til won twice by the same producer.
The fact that the Kellogg product
is made only from selected white
corn, while the winning ear was of
a pronounced yellow type was a
peculiar feature.
The Kellogg trophy was won in
1910 at Columbus, O., by r. A.
James of Charleston, H., with a
magnificent ear of Reds Yellow
Dent, but not so perfect an ear as
that which originally won the tro-
ply and which has become known
as the best ear of corn ever
grown"

66e Unique Story Gifts Discover,

Just a countryman-that's ALL"
IS the way the grower of this re-
markable 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 de-
mand as judge of corn exhibits.
Mr.. Palm asks for no greater honor
or distinction than to be known as
a plain Hoosier farmer, and while
he openly processes a reasonable
pride in the achievement of grow
ing the famous ear of corn which
was adjudged the most perfect ever
grown, it is without shadow of
ostentation.

champion ear

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 him
self:
at was in November, 1910, and we
were just harvesting our crop. The
weather had been good, but we
were q 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 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 be-
ing exhibited. There is a small box
on every corn wagon in which the
most perfect ears are thrown

A Farm Boy Contending for His
Rights-HeIp Me, BOYS!

To start with, will say year ago

of cotton raised in Polk county by
the boys under l8 years old it made

to be in the ring. We boys talked
to father along these lines, and he
said, YES, would like for you

going to take something to win it.
boys" We looked over the place.
talked the matter over and decided
that it was at least doubtful for US
to win a premium, unless we had
prepared the land sooner. So, after
due consideration, we decided to
drop the matter, and get in line for
another year. But 10 and beholdl
when the quorum court met last
fall and declined to make an ap-
preparation for a demonstration we
were told it was doubtful if there
would be any premiums for the
next year. Now for a moment inn
agine how it hurt me, and how it
hurt the boys of Polk county who
had planned to make honor for
themselves, honor for their state
and special honor for Polk county.
Now boys, the election is on this
year. The Democratic primary is
close at hand, and it is time that we
use our influence to have men
elected who will be friendly to the
boys, as we'll as to do honor to
Polk county. Some of those same
men who said by their actions, I'VE
are not interested in the boys of
Polk county" are running again for
Office, some for higher places and,
| am told, more of them are COM
ing out later on. | am only II years
old, and, of course, cannot vote, nor
do | electiOneer for that crowd.
Some one may say | am too young
to talk politics, but | was hurt by
the action Of the quorum court, and
reserve the right to say so. OF
course we boys have a right to
throw pebbles in the road and
check the progress of these old
mossbacks to the extent of our in
fluence. Help me, boys! Let US
ask the good citizens of Polk coun-
| ty to single out these old fogies and
vote them down.
Out of deep water and back to
| business. | am sorry the business
men and good citizens of Polk
county had so little confidence in
us boys as to think we could not
make an extra acre of corn or an
extra acre of cotton without a DEM
onstrator. OF course we needed a
demonstration, some worse than
others, but we could have sur
prised you and made honor for our
selves, honor for our state and spe-
cial honor for Polk county without
a demonstration. | don't believe in
making premiums too large, for it
would take too much money. Say
from SIS to s25, and about ten pre-
miums for corn and ten for cotton,
from the good citizens of Polk
county. | believe this amount from
the county, together with the state
and government premiums, would
enlist an army of boys that would
do honor for themselves, for their
state and special honor for Polk
county. We would have helped to
place our county at the right place
on the map.

President Taft today sent tele-

The president said he hoped in this
way to get a eoneensus of opinion
