NATIONAL CORN SMUWgN 1918

That's the ear I'm going to win the IL 80
| trophy with"
| 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.
| Man who Knows Corn?
| But that's not all of Palms story. He
tells it willingly, though modestiy, for be
knows that his story, whenever told, is a
source of great encouragement to the
thousands of farmers who never had bet
ter chance than he had himself. Palm
was born and brought up on a farm near
| 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 rs a rented farm.
| Mr.. Palms real experience as farmer
began about sixteen years ago. He had
| been on the road as grocery speciality
salesman, when be took a notion tn he
would rather be an agricuiturist, so he
| took few short courses al Purdue univer-
| sity and rented portion of the farm he
now occupies,
l. Nine years ago he began carefully
breeding this new variety Of corn. For
two years he planted two rows of Reid IS
Yellow Dent, then two of Alexander s
Gold Standard, detasseling the Gold Stan
ard. From the detasseled rows he picked
for seed only the ears carrying the charac-
teristics he wanted to reproduce, planting
these 10 breeding plots and maintaining
careful selection, so that in nin6 years
time be had developed well settled type,
The Palm champion ear was the first
winner of the w. X. Kellogg national
corn trophy handsome silver and
enamel cup made by Tiffany, OF New York,
at a cost OF $1,000. Mr.. Kellogg is presi-
dent of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake
Co. 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 Kellogg trophy was %on in 1910 at
Columbus, Ohio, BY X. A. James, of
Charleston, 1T, with a magnificent ear of
Reid's yellow Dent, but not so perfect an
ear as that which originally won the tro-
ply, and which mas become known as
"the best ear OF corn ever grown.

made at the next national corn EXPOSE

pride in the achievement of growing the
famous ear of corn which was adiudged
the most perfect ever grown, it is without
a shadow OF ostentation.
The champion ear OF corn was rot an
accident. There can be no greater lesson
in the value OF careful study and pains
taking selection of seed and breeding than
the experiences of tins same Palm. The
farmer who thinks he stands a chance to
go into his curnfeld and by 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 disa 3use his mind of
this fsllacious notion than to read the
story of Palm and 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 development and dis
coyery of the champion ear, it would be
enough And in proof of this fact, here is
the story as he told ithimself:
at 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 promising one.
ave have 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 is 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 contest.
''On the day the champion ear WIS
found, was at the house, and at dinn' r
time one of he men brought it in ana laid
it, 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.
".Well,' / said, do you think you've
got good ear there?
"sIt looks to me like good ear, he
said. What do you think..of it?'
81 picked it up and looked it over.
WELL / said finally, 4 think it is the
most perfect ear OF corn l ever saw. It's
good enough to win the W. K. Kellogg
81 900 trophy this year at Omaha
'.And l was confident the moment / saw
it, and looked it over, that / held, the
trophy winner in my hand, so much so,
that when left for Omaha to exhibit the
ear, took it out OF my grip and showed
it to the station agent with the words,

REGISTRATION
VERY LIGHT

The registration of voters today is
light. so much so that 1t was a question
whether per cent of the May registra-
ton would be reached today. In the
Seventh precinct. Second ward, in Ham
mond. there are in the neighborhood of
500 voters. The superior court house
is their registration place. At the May
registration 204 voters were regis
tered. Up to o'clock today only an
additional twenty five had registered.
The registration places will be open
until o'clock this evening, and as long
as long there are voters present
themselves in five minute intervals.
Unless voters name is on the regis
tration books, he will not be permitted
to vote, no matter how well he may
be known The fact that his vote is
not challenged will not permit the
election officers to let him to vote.

Police VS.. Fire1nen.

Sunday afternoon will be gala day
for the police and firemen, when they
will line up against each other at the
III. A. A. park to see which is superior
on the baseball diamond. After weeks
of hard practice both sides are reasY
for action and from all appearances
the game will be the scene of an In
teresting battle.
Earlier in the season the two rival
factions got together at the H A. A.
park and 1t will long be remembered
that after an interesting session last
ing several hours the police came out
on top with but small margin. Last
seaon the firemen turned the trick on
the police and now with game apiece
each player will do his utmost to win.
Ardent fans will pack the bleachers
and grandstands to catch a glimpse of
their respective idols. and If the fans
are not amiss they are expecting to
see joy. gloom. base hits, home runs,
bunts. double plays. grand stand pick
ups. bone-head plays and most every
thing that composes Spaulding's book

are sure you can pick the winner

lice and firemen drew attendance
