Corn Meal

PART II

Indian corn, therefore. has special
historical interest for Americans, from
the fact that ii is generally recognized
cultivation and use even in the early
colonial days was very widely distrib-
Gted. The desire to produce it was
probably the incentive which. most
frequently led the Indians TO abandon
romadic life and to form settlements.
Because of the QuicEress and ease with
which it can be raised, it was un-
doubteoly the means of saving from
starvation many of the pioneers who
came from other lands. So important
was this food in the days when the
country was being settled that both
natives and colonists in their troubles
with one another found it was a great
or blow TO destroy corn crops of
advers aries than TO make war upon
them.
