J TheWorlds Champion Ear /

The champion ear of corn was
not an accident. There can be no
greater lesson in the value Of
careful study and painstaking Sc
lection of seed and breeding than
the experiences of this same Pal
in. The farmer who thinks he
stands 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 cham
pion ear.

And | was confident the mo-

that I held the trophy winner in

So there's the story of the
champion ear as Palm told it him
self. 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 modestIy, for he knows
that his story whenever told is q
source of great encouragement t
to the thousands of farmers who
never had a better chance than
he had himself. Palm was born
and brought up on a farm near
Newton, Ind. He has never OWL
ed a foot of farm land in his life,
and the 360-acre farm on which
the champion ear of corn which
won the Kellogg Trophy wss
grown, is a rented farm.
Mr.. Palms real experience as
a farmer began about sixteen
years ago. He had been on TIE
road as a grocery speciality sales-
man, when he took notion that
he would rather be an agricui-
turist, so he took a few short
at Purdue University al q
rented a portion Of the farm he
now occupies. Nine years ago he
began carefully breeding tt IS
new variety of corn. For ty
years he planted two rows Of
Reid's Yellow Dent, then two &c

taseling the Gold Standard From
the detasseled rows he picked for
seed only the ears carrying tie
characteristics he wanted to re-
produce, planting these in bree a.

tied type.

In the first place, Palm knows
corn. If there were no more
proof of this fact than the bare
story of the development and dis
covery of the champion ear, It
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 a little late
with the harvest. The men were
going through the fields with the
wagon in the usual way gather
ing the corn, and the harvest
was a promising one.
I'VE have sort of corn show
at my farm all the time, and
there is always an award for ex-
ceptiorally 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, constitu-
