Had American white men been as
patient and Industrious in their corn
experimentation as were the NLndan
Indians the nations meat supply now
would be greater and so would our corn
| surplus.
We were content to grow the corn
which would thrive in the warm and
long summer sections, We thought
corn wouldn't grow north of Iowa and
on the uplands of the west. So we
grew wheat year after year there, rob
bling the soil of its fertility and les
SEEMING the meat crop You can't fatteu
livestock on all-wheat farms. But
with com. a great livestock industry
will spread northward.
For such a corn we can thank the
medicine men of the Mandan Indians
Long before white men were scratch :
ing the soil to any large extent IN the
northwest these medicine men began
breeding a new type of corn, one which
didn't require a long hot summer. Year
by year they kept on. selecting seed
each fall for the next springs sowing.
When they began, their corn required
four months to mature But up in Mon
summer. Spring is late and fall frosts
come early. Same is true in the Ia :
kotas and northern Minnesota.
From four months these medicine
men Kept on cutting down the season
for their corn--maize, they call it, Now
they have corn which will give the
grower fully matured ear in from 70
to 30 days
Quick to Mature.
With that kind of quick maturing
corn the whole northwest can rival
the middle states as a corn belt" ter
litory. Cattle ana hogs can he fattened
in Montana and the Dakotas, enriching
the soil for larger wheat production,
and increasing the supply of beefstcaks.
porkchops and veal outlets.
The late James J. Hill once said that
the nation could quit worrying about
it's meat and bread when the northwest
began growing corn and meat in large
fashion. But the empire builder of the
northwest himself was doubtful about
breeding corn which would grow
profitably in western Dakota and Mon
tana.
Now the Mandan Indians, who lang
guarded their secret, for they Consia
cred their corn as sacred maize" have
given their pale faced ncighbore seed
of a corn which will thrive where the
summer nights are cool and summer
days few.

RECOMMENDS SOLUTION
OF PENDING DISPUTATION
b. S. Perris Suggests Replica of Bar
nard Statue of Lincoln as
Gift to England.

NEW YORK, October 2o.-Presenta-
ton to England of both the replica of
the Saint Gaudens statue of Abraham
Lincoln. as originally proposed and
also one of the statues of Lincoln by
George Grey Barnard, was suggested
here today by II. 5. Perris as a solu-
tion of the controversy that has arisen
over the respective artistic merits of
the two works. Mr.. Ferris represents
the British American peace centenary
committee, which originally proposed
the presentation to England of the Saint
Gaudens statue during the visit here in
on the celebration of 100 years of
peace among English speaking peo-
pies.
The British government accepted the
Saint Gaudens work and set aside for 1t
site in Parliament Square. London.
The war caused failure to put the
project through, Mr.. Perris explained
today. but the committee this summer
was enabled to revive the project in the
shape of an offer of the Barnard statue.
which was likewise accepted by the
British and the same site allotted.
1t il a pity that controversy should
rage around a project that ought to be
carried through entirely in atmos-
phere of cordiality and good feeling.
Mr.. Perris said. should the admirers
OF the Saint Gaudens Lincoln in the
United States be moved to do what the
generosity of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Phelps Taft has done in respect OF
Barnard's work-that is, to offer Great
Britain a replica Of the great work in
Lincoln Park, Chica go-such an offer
would be accepted in England with un-
feigned satisfaction.
There is room in Great Britain-yes,
in London-for more than one monu-
ment of Americas saint and hero
President whose memory all English y
men revere and love. This Is the proper
issue out of the existing controversy
