The corn crop of 1915, taken thu
country over, was about equally divid-
ed between the yellow and me white
varieties; 42.9 of the total yield was
yellow, 42.6 white and the balance,
14.5 mixed. These estimates are bas-
ed upon the reports from all parts of
the United States. The corn growing
states of the north favor the yellow
varieties, while the south evinces the
leaning toward the white. Figures
covering the entire country show the
white corn averaging about cne-half
cent higher in price than the yellow,
but in the corn growing states west
of the Mississippi river the yellow
corn outshells the white by narrow
margin. The final December estimate
placed Iowa's corn crop of 1915 at
203,000,000 bushels, compared to
2S9,O0O,O0O bushels in 1914. Of the
crop last year 81 per cent was yell
low, p per cent white and 16 per
cent mixed.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER
Its Humanity Expounded by Kansas

read them read in their lines the
sweet intimate story of life. And
all these touches of Nature make us
wondrous kind 1t is the country
newspaper, bringing together daily
the threads of the towns life, weav-
ing them into something rich and
strange, and setting the pattern as it
weaves, directing the loom, and CIV
ing the cloth its color by mixing the
lives of al the people In its color
pot--it is this country newspaper that
reveals us to ourselves, that keeps
our country hearts quick and our
country minds open and our country
faith strong.
When the girl at the glove counter
marries the hoy in the wholesale
house the news OF their wedding is
good for 4O-line wedding notice,
and the 40 lines in the country paper
give them selirespect When in due
course we know that their baby is a
12-pounder, named Grover or Theo-
dore or Woodrow, we have that neigh
borly feeling that breeds the real
democracy. When We read OF death

STATE FAIR MAKING READY
President Estee Says Event Will Be
More Attractive Than Ever.

White River Junction, July 49,
While much has already taken place
in planning the details of the Vermont
State Fair, to be held here September
II, 13, IA and 15, the real activity of
preparation is now under way in the
Office of Secretary Davis
Last year, owing to the quarantine
on shipping cattle from other states
into Vermont, the cattle exhibit was
confined to the New England States.
This condition does not apply this
year and the State Fair commission
again makes competition open to the
country, SO large are the entries al
ready made, II may be stated. eight
weeks before the dates of the fair,
that the cattle exhibit will tax the full
capacity of the exhibition stalls. A
greater number of states will be rep
resented than at any previous state
