Of Alexander's Gold Standard, detas-
selling the Gold Standard. From the
detasseled rows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the characteris-
tics he wanted to reproduce, planting
these in breeding plots and maintain
ing careful selection, SO that in nine
years time he had developed a we'll
settled type.
The Palm champion ear was the
first winner of the W K. Kellogg Nat
ionaI Corn Trophy, handsome silver
and enamel cup made by Tiffany of
New York at cost of $1,000. MIR.
Kellogg as the originator and manu-
facturer Of Toasted Corn Flakes nat
uraIIy has a deep interest in the de-
velopment Of the higher grades OF
corn, for the company of which he iS
president, 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 Kellogg
product is made onry 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 Columns, Ohio, by R- a.
James, of Charleston, Ill, with a mag
nif1cent 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"

The next award Of this trophy will
be made at the next National Corn
Exposition, which will be held in Feb
ruary, 1913, at Columbia, :. @. 1t Is
planned to make this exposition much
broader in scope than any held in the
past, and consequently longer time
will be required for preparation.
Special buildings are being erected
for the exposition, the main building
to be 400 by 167 feet, ground measure

propriated $4,000 for the expenses Of

an effort to make this exposition the
greatest of it's kind ever held.

one Unique Story OF it's Discovery

he had himself Palm was born and
brought up on farm near Newtown,
Ind. He has never owned foot of
farm land in his life, and the 800
acre farm on which the champion
ear of corn which won the Kellogg
Trophy was grown il rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as a
farmer began about sixteen years ago.
He had been on the road as a grocery
specially salesman, when he took a
notion that he would rather be an
agriculturist, 20 he took few short
courses at Purdue University and
rented portion Of the farm he now
occupies. Nine years ago he began

In the first place, Palm knows
corn. III 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:
TT was in November, 1910, and 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 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 IL
always an award for exceptionally
good ears of corn-ears sufficiently
true to type to permit of their being
exhibited There is "a small box 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 Il. with a number of
other ears, upon the window sill in
the well room for me to take and put
away in the seed house.
We'll, said, do you think you've
got good ear there?'
lit looks to me like a good ear,
he said. What do you think Of it?'
II picked il up and looked it over.
Well l said finally, I think it is
the most perfect ear of corn I ever
saw. It's good enough to win the
w. K Kellogg $1,000 trophy this
year at Omaha
and 7 was confident the moment
| saw it, and looked it over, that
held the trophy winner in my hand.
So much so that when I left for
Omaha to exhibit the ear, I took it
out of my grip and showed it to the
station agent with the words, That's
the ear I'm going to win the $1,000
trophy with
So there's the story of the cham
pion ear as Palm told it himself. And
on the strength of 1T who will say
that Fred G. Palm doesn't justly mer-
it the title, "The Man Who Knows
Corn?
But that's not all of Palms story.
He tells it willingly, though modest
ly, for he knows that his story when
ever told is a source Of great encour-
agement of the thousands of farmers
who never had better chance than

to have been busy after state capitol appropriations and other things to have influenced favorably in this line.
 Following the recent convention of mayors in Little Rock, they all feel assured that they have the relief they require to make advances in the event of the election of Joe Robinson. That means advance for the cities.
 Joe Robinson will favor any and all legislation looking to the advance ment of the agricultural and horti- cultural interests of the state. Thet means that any fair proposal the Ar kansas state fair makes to the next legislature for encouragement will meet with the good will and have the friendly influences of Joe Robinson.
 Robinson has been broadened through his congressional experiences. While any and every man in the con- monwealth has the right to offer for governor, yet it seems natural that the man schooled in the congressional halls and therefore educated in states manships through utilization with all the big men of our great country. should be. especially fitted for the governorship of commonwealth, and when elected would render such pub lie service as will of necessity hel:l the people. a. !.

WE'D THREE DAYS,
 FATHER INTERVIEWS
Mr. and Mrs. l.. J. WhitestOne Leave Hot Springs, Each For Re-
 spectfye Homes.

Hot Springs, Feb 14.-Mr. and Mrs L. J. Whitestone, the romantic couple who, after three days acquaintance, were married in the courthouse here last Friday, have gone to their re- spective ways home. Immediately af- ten the ceremony, Leo Landauer, a brother of the birde, rushed into the courthouse and threatened to kill Whitestone but was disarmed and the separation of the couple was effected by the brides father, of Dallas, Texas, today.
 Immediately after the ceremony young Landauer induced his sister to go ta. the hotel and talk the matter over with their father. The result was that Whitestone agreed to go to his home in Bradford, Pa., secure credentials" and return to Dallas with his mother for family conference.
 The elder Landauer said, When he. returns to Dallas, if my daughter still loves him and wants to go with him will have nothing more to say. However, my son s'a:e that she had sent telegram to Whitestone begging release and declaring that she real ized too late that she did not love him.
 Referring to Whitestone the elder Mir. Landauer said, "He says that he is 23 years old, but seems to have the sense of Ian ordinary school boy. He spoke to me of his undying love fo. my child and quote poetry and talked of the great romance. Mind you, l am not judging him, and don't say that my daughters prospects appealed to him. only know that he eXer- cised an influence over her with his ready tongue and Byron-like stanzas and that she d.d not realize the stop she was taking. But I wanted to be fair and suggested that my son go right to his home with him and make a report. To this he would not agree, but finally said that he would go alone"
