In the fret place, Palm knows corn.
If there were no more Troof of this
fact than the bare story of the develop
ment and discovery of the cham
pion 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
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 prOmis.
ing one.
1--WE 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 wagon
in which the most perfect ears are
thrown. These, when properly select
ed, constitute the seed corn, and among
these more perfect ears we occasional
ly find an ear that we are willing TO
exhibit in contest.
ION the day the champion ear was
found, / was at the house and at din
ner time one of the men brought it in
and laid it, with a number of other
ears, upon the window sill in the well
room for roe to take and put away in
the seed house.
WELL / said, do you think
you've got good ear there%
s.sIt looks to me like good ear, he
said. What do you think Of it?'
~ picked it up and looked IT over
WELL / said finally, Il think it 10 the
most perfect ear of corn / ever saw.
It's good enough to win the w. X,
Kellogg $1,000 trophy this year at
Omaha
Sand l was confident the moment
saw it, aud looked it over, that / held
the trophy winner in my hand. So
much so that I left for Omaha to ex-
hibit the ear, took IT ont of my grip
and showed it to the station agent
with the words, That's the ear ~ go
ing to win the 81 900 trophy with
So there's the story of the champion
ear as Palm told it himself. Aad on the
strength of it who will say that Fred
&. Palm doesn't justly merit the title,
ssrhe Man Who Knows Corn?"
But that's not all Of Palms story
He tells it willingly, though modestly,
for he knows thst bis story whenever
told is a source of great encouragement
of the thousands of farmers who never
had . better chance than he had aim

The champion ear of Germ was not an
accident. There can be no greater les
son in the value OF careful study and
painstakipg selection of seed and
breeding than the experiences of the
same Palm. The farmer who thinks
he stands chance to go into his corn
field and by piece of ick pick out an
ear which Nsture has fashioned even
more perfectly and with it wrest the
honors from this Indiana man, can
pot do better 10 disabuse his mind Of

little boy walking home from
school. The little fellow, who
could not have been over 7 years
of age, took off his hat to the lady
in the carriage and then trudged
on down the road swinging his
dinner pail. The Bowen people
not only have wide reputation

Vice President Brown of the
Denver d Rio Grande railroad, on
his return from New York city
announced that the first steps in
electrifying the d. & r. &. are to
be taken at once. The first unit
to be electrified will be from HELPER,
Utah, to Salt Lake City, la miles.
The second unit will be over Ten
nessee Pass, the great Continental
divide in Colorado, and will in
volve the identification of the
line from Salida to Minturn, Colo
RADIO, a distance of 81 miles.
Other units in addition to the
two mentioned will be added from
time to time, and eventually the
entire system will be operated by
electricity generated by the great
power in the torrents now cours-
ing down the mountain sides and
which is only waiting to be har
messed.
This transition from steam to
electric power is by far the most
important improvement plan yet
