OUR GREATEST FOOD CROP

But for corn, the world war might
have been won by Germany. We not
only shipped large quantities OF 1t
abroad, but we ate more of 1t during
| the war period than at any previous
| time in our history. Corn was the
one acceptable substitute which we
could use in almost unlimited guam
titles in place of wheat. Without 1t
we would not have attained the ad-
vancement and development which
now characterizes this nation. Corn
furnishes the chief concentrated food
of our work animals, and it is the
basis of practically all rations used
| for the fatt5ning of livestock. There
| fore it's cultivation is of universal
| Importance.
Corn is, in it's possibilities, the
greatest food crop in the world be-
| it will produce about twice as much
grain per acre as any of the other
grain crops. The fact that so much
| of the United States has a climate
| favorable for raising corn and con-
| tains so much good corn land &C
and prosperity.
Corn is native to America and was
unknown to the civilized world before
America was discovered. At that
time the Indians all over North and
South America were Cultivating corn,
and it certainly has been grown for
many hunderd years before white
men landed on the shores of the new
world.
Ever since the first settlers ar
rived. corn has played a very import
ant part in the history of our coun-
try. Every boy who has studied his
tory knows that the corn that these
Indians shared with these early set
tiers actually kept them from starv-
ing The Indians taught the white
men how to raise corn, and for long
time it was the principal food of the
colonists. Certainly the rapid settle
ment of the colonies would have been
impossible without the corn crop.
Later this same crop made it posi-
BILE to settle and develop the great
central part of the country so rap
idly.
corn valued at $3.52S,3O3,0 900 were
three-fourths of all the corn grown
in the wolrd. These figures are so
large that one cannot comprehend
them. If this corn could be evenly
divided, every man, woman and chlld
in the country would have thirty
bushels of corn. If all the grain of
all kinds grown in Europe was evenly
divided, it would give each inhabi-
tant but about fifteen bushels. If
the corn crop of the United States
could be put in wagons holding fifty
bushels each, and each wagon allow
ed space of twenty feet, it would
require seventy-five rows of wagons
reaching from New York city. to San
Francisco, a distance of 5000 miles,
to hold it all. The wheat crop is the
most important crop of the world,
but the corn crop of the United
States is three-fourths as. large as
the wheat crop OF the world. 1t is
one and half times as large as the
oat crop of the entire world by
weight. and one and half times as
large as the rice crop or the rye
crop of the world. Is it any wonder
that corn is called king Corn" in
America?
You may wonder why corn is not
countries since it is. such valuable
crop. AS matter of fact, corn is

MARY MEREDITH'S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME

once loved me better than any other
girl in the world and was true; he
would tell me everything. He is a
fine boy, liked by everybody; he has
been at work twenty miles away
from me for seven months and he
seems as if he has grown careless
since he has gone there. He had
never been with any other girl ex-
cept me, and hasn't been with any
other one as I know of until he went
away this fall. 1 think he goes
with some of the girls there now.
He and l have been going together
regular for three years. He always
gives me nice presents Christmas.
He gave me a nice one last Christ
mas. 1 did and still put more con-
fidence in him than any boy have
ever been with. The man he works
with has a family and is flirt with
the young girls. He is nice and
pleasant when he comes to see me
now. I don't care anything about
any other boy in the world. I know
there is no time lost with me in
getting married. He hasn't asked
me to marry him, but said for me
to finish school and he would do
some kind of work until 1 finished.
Would YOU advise me to forget
him only as a friend. Or what do
you think would be best for me to
do? We never get mad and fuss
any. L say something to him about
the other girls sometimes.
Please give me advice.
7 think the young man still
things a great deal of you but
he is in another town and like
so many other men, sees a great
deal of other girls. The mar
ried man might have bad in
fluence over him, but I wouldn't
give him up if 7 were you.
1 wouldn't chide him for his
indifference but when you hear
from him or see him, casually
mention some other boys name.
A man likes to have some one
else in the race. A woman never
won a man yet by nagging him.
[ would keep up a correspond
ence with him and write him
very lively, interesting letters
and he will see there are things
you are interested in besides
himself. That will hurt his van
ity and he will be nicer to you.
Ihe minute man sees a woman
is in love with him then he be-
gins to lose interest. I know of
married woman's husband who
is a great flirt, and would leave
her in a minute if he thought
he could boss her. She is deeply
in love with him but she acts
indifferently and seems to like
the society of other men, but she
knows that is the surest way of
holding the husband she loves.

True Love Laughs Again
At Fro.uning Obstacles
(By Associated Press)

NEW YORK. April 14.-Edmond E.
Hadley, of Grinnell, Ia, has arrived
here from the near east, with his
bride, formerly Mile. Marguerite Faye,
Belgian refugee whom he met at
Chamont, France. The story of their
romance might be taken as proof that
love laughs as heartily at internation-
al blockades as at locksmiths. After
the relief units to which Mr.. Hadley
was attached in France were demob-
ilized, he was sent to southern Russia,
where Denikine and his army opposed
the soviet forces. When the Bolshe-
vik hordes broke the Denikine line
and drove that leader back into Ku-
ban, Mr.. Hadley found he was cut off
and that egress was almost impossi,
| BILE. Soon after he had made his dis
covery he received word that Mile
Fays was in Tiflis, where she had
gone to meet him, and he determined
to cross the mountains to that city.
