the testimony of Humboldt, Darwin, and others,
the matter of the origin of maize was finally set
tied by the celebrated Swiss botanist, Alphonse
De Condolle, who, after sitting all the evidence,
makes the statement in the revised 1882 edition
of his Origin of Cultivated Plants" that MAIZE
is of American origin, and has only been intro
duced into the Old World since the discovery Of
the New"
Just where in the Americas it originated is
mooted question. According to Condolle, at the
time Of the discovery Of the new continent maize
was of the staples of its agriculture from the
La Plata Valley to the United States. The ma
tives planted it around their temporary dwellings
where they did not form a fixed population. The
burial mounds Of the natives of North America
who preceded those of our day, the tombs Of the
Incas-the catacombs of Peru-contain ears or
grains of maize, just as the monuments of an
cient Egypt contain grains of barley, wheat and
millet seed. In Mexico goddess who bore name
derived from that Of maize correspondent to the
Ceres of the Greeks, and the first fruits of the
maize harvest were offered to her. At Cuzco the
virgins of the sun offered sacrifices of bread
made from the meal of Indian corn Nothing is
better calculated to show the antiquity and gen.
erality of the cultivation of plant than this init
mate connection with-the religious rites of the
ancient inhabitants.
1T was not only in Peru and Mexico, however,
that maize was extensively cultivated. It was the
great food plant of practically all the American
Indians who sought the aid of cultivation in OBJ
tanning food. Columbus found it to be the prin-
cpal food of the natives of the Island of Santo
Domingo, and his was the first account of the
grain made public in Europe. Linguistic evil
dence shows that it was introduced into the
United States from the tribes of Mexico and from
the Caribs Of the West Indies, but the time of
this introduction can only be conjectured That
it was long before the appearance of the Euro
peans is evident not only from its early and wide
spread cultivation by tribes of the area now en-
braced in the United States, but from the fact
that indications of it's cultivation are found in
mounds and in the ancient pueblo ruins and cliff
dwellings, while corroborative evidence is found
in the fact that several varieties had already
been developed at the time of the discovery, four
being mentioned as in use among the Indians of
Virginia" Pan American Union, Washington,

Indian Corn

Corn is such commonplace, ordinary sort OF
thing, and so undressing to most of our city
bred people that perhaps few of them realize just
how important is the role it plays in the econon-
ic well-being of the United States. Some Of the
more striking facts, as brought out in an article
by Edward Albes in the Bulletin of the Pan
American Union, Washington, D. c., may sur
prise some of them. For instance the United
States produces three-fourths of the entire corn
crop of the world. In 1915 the countrys produc-
ton amounted to 3,O54,536,00O bushels, having a
farm value of over $1,755,s6O,00O. When it is
stated moreover, that if we add the value Of the
record-breaking wheat crop of 1915, amounting
to $3.50, 1902, OOO to the value of the big cotton
crop of the same year. amounting to $602 1898, 900,
the sum of the two still lacks 1928, 10000 of
reaching the value of the humble corn crop, some
idea of the Importance of the last named may
be had.
: The history of the great cereal is dealt with
by the writer of the article, as we'll as its mani
fold uses as food for man and beast as bever-
age, and as an important factor in many kinds Of
manufactured products. Relative to it's origin,
-the writer introduces the subject by brief dis
-quisition anent mans teeth which show that he
is both carnivorous and granivorous, and con-

Asiatic and African peoples before the discovery
of America is now well established. Aside from

THE BLACK TROLLS TREASURE
Hans was leaning over the well
when he heard his fathers voice cal
ling. Hans, Hans, come at once!"
So without stopping to lace his broken
shoe he ran into the cottage where
his father lay on sick bed.
Look, lad, behind the tin box on
the top shelf of the cupboard and see
if my little black bag is there. said
the father. Il have kept in it my lit
tie savings for years and now l have
an idea they are gone"
Hans looked carefully but not a
sign Of bag could he find, but just
outside of the door it lay-empty.
What shall we do my boy?" cried
the father. 1T was all had and now
that my leg is broken we will have
nothing to eat. / dreamed last night
that the Troll from the Great Cavern

money What a wicked thief! And

So within an hour the lad was on
his way through the fields. He no.
ticed that in the dust of the path was
a curious print as if of a tiny foot.
and this footstep he followed for
hours till it stopped at the top OF a
great black rock. Through a crack
in the top he could see vast chamber
within, the walls of white stone, and
about on the floor buckets and bas-
kets of gold glimmering in the dim
light At marble table sat the Black
Troll. He was strange. misshapen
creature, with tiny twisted legs and a
face like a goat In his hand was a
small silver rod $751;.
Little rod, my slave today.

sang the Troll in low voice. Bring
all my bags of gold here and empty
them on the table
In a moment the silver rod had
spun about the room. brought the
bags and emptied them on the table
In front of the Troll. Hans watched
the creature as he counted the money
and placed it carefully in the bags
again Then the rod brought big
class of wine and the Troll fell asleep.
) When Hans saw the Trolls head
nodding he slipped down through the
crack in the rock by holding to the
vines and in a moment stood by the
Trolls chair On the table lay the
silver rod.

no longer move, then carry ten bags
OF gold to my house, return here and

OF the creatures cries the whipping
kept on till he sank from exhaustion;
then the rod whisked off through the
roof, with ten bags of gold from the
table.

Henry B.aine opened the little box
and drew from it the bit Of folded
paper, which he spread out upon the
desk before him. A glance was suffic'
lent to show him that it was another

ent one. The first had baffled him,
and he scrutinized the second with
freshly awakened interest.
The three lines fascinated him by
their tantalizing problem, and he
could not take his eyes from them.
The musical notes could be easily read
in place Of letters, of course, with the
sign of the treble clef as basic guide,
but the other figures still puzzled him.
All at once, word upon the lowest
line which explained itself caught his
eye; then another and another, until
the method of deciphering the whole
message burst upon his mind. One
swift gesture, few eagerly scrawled
calculations, and the truth was plain
to him.

With the closing Of the door behind
his secretary, Henry Blaine rose and
paced thoughtfully back and forth the
length OF his spacious office. The
problem before him was the most sail

held it within his hands, and yet he
could not break the shell Of the mys-

Cedar Point, O.-The thirteenth an

ter. He will stop at Pittsburg, Har-'
per's Ferry, Shenandoah Valley, Fred
ericksburg, Cumberland and other
historic places and battlefie1ds along
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad, and go
also to Baltimore, Washington, Phila-
delphia and New York, returning by
way of the famous Horseshoe Bend
and mountain scenery along the Penn
sylVania lines. Many places in addi-
ton to those heretofore visited will be
inspected. Since the number of trips
and entries is larger than ever before,
more extensive arrangements for the
care and entertainment of the corn
growing champions must be made this
year. Mr. Clarke says. Already many
inquiries have come to him for tickets
for the 1915 trip by men and women
in all parts of the state. Persons
other than contestants may go along
by paying their own expenses.
