"CORN BELT" IN PHILIPPINES.
(Rosf0n Tronccript

Only few years ago it was a pop
ular belief among farmers that corn
could not be profitably raised any
where except in the so-called Ameri-
can corn belt" and if anyone had
suggested the possibility of produc-
ing it successfully in the tropics he
would have been thought fit for an in
sane asylum.
1t is a fact that the Philippines bu-
reau Of education has been successful
In its corn campaign of the past few
years. Corn is now an important and
new source Of food supply in the is
lands and it is stated that one Of the
reasons why the rice imports SO meas
urably decreased during 1918 is be-
cause OF the excellent quality of the
corn produced The soil is very rich
and productive and the Philippines
should give a production per acre
equal to the corn belt Of the middle
west The crop increase shows that
the people are becoming much inter-
ested since they have come to know
its value as a food. due to careful
