THE ORIGIN OF CORN.

Maize, or Indian corn. in its pres
ent form represents one of the great
est achievements of primitive plant
ers, the North American Indian. 1t
came originally from southern Mex
ico At first it was nothing more
than d coarse grass on which were
tiny ears resembling the top of the
wheat stalk Occasionally even now
grains of corn are found which have
their original husk, thus showing how
the maize of our day reverts to type.
The plant was essentially tropical,
and even now, after centuries of Gull
ture in the temperate zone, it is sensi-
tive to frost.
One of tht most interesting and re-
markable facts in connection with
Indian corn is that three tribes-the
Hidatsa, the Arikara and the Mandan
who lived along the Missouri river
and its tributaries in North Dakota,
were practicing a highly developed
system of corn culture at the time of
the first recorded visit of the white
man in 1888.
Archaeological evidence secured
from the Indian remains of the sec
ton indicate that corn was being rails
gu III ILLS ulSIIlCJ IuIGG uuuuI0u OI
four hundred years ago. AS mat
ter of fact, jacques Cartier, the first
European to enter the ST. Lawrence
observed large fields of growing maize
at Hochelaga (now MontreaD in 1884,
and the tribes between northwest
Mexico and the plains of Kansas were
found to be growing it when visited
by Coronado in 1910. The ease with
which maize can be cultivated and
conserved, and its bountiful yield,
caused it's rapid extension among the
Indians after it came into use. With
the exception of better tillage the
method of it's cultivation is much the
same today among civilized men as
it was then among the natives.
One would naturally expect the
southern and eastern Indians to be
good corn raisers, as they lived in
regions of abundant rainfall and suf-
ficient summer heat. 1t is really as
tonishing, however, that the upper
Mississippi Indians, living under semi
arid and northern conditions should
develop corn raising that was not sur
passed by any other tribe in Ameri
ca. This corn culture was Of such i'm
portance that the early fur traders
established a distillery in 1888 at
Fort Union, which was located at the
mouth of the Yellowstone river. Since
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1921-11-09

the Indians were the first dry-land
farmers and corn raisers of the north
west. the corn history of that region
naturally begins with them. Accord
ing to Scattered Corn Woman, an
elderly Mandan matron, and daugh-
ter of the last Mandan corn priest,
the Mandans had at one time what
they considered to be 10 distinct va
rieties Of corn. The varieties, some
of which have now disappeared, were
always kept separate and planted in
separate fields to prevent mixing.
Each family kept and planted two, or
three sorts which were passed along
from one generation to the next, and
no other kinds were planted in the
family fields.
The Indian acre was not of definite
size. 1t consisted of seven rows of
corn with a row of beans between
each two rows of corn; the length
of the rows, however, was not fixed,
and the land occupied by the squash
which were always part of every
garden, and by sunflower was not
included in computing the acreage
planted As near as much question
ing of Scatter Corn Woman revealed,
an Indian acre would average between
a third and fourth of one of our
acres in area.
The fields were usually set out

WITH THE FARMERS.
Pure BREEDS Top The Market

The price range on steers now IS
something that is almost unbeliova'
BILE. The difference between the top
and the lowest grade, is just abOUt
the average price of all of them. For
instance, $11.0O is the highest for
Thursdays top and the lowest price
on rough animals was $500 leaving &
difference of $500 which is more than
the average steer feeder expects to
get for his lot this fall.
Now why do we have such a differ
ence If the list of sales is gone over
you will find that the ones bringing
the top or close to the top are anil
mails of good breeding, which to me
is the most convincing argument for
any farmer to demand a good pure
bred sire at the head of his herd. Can
any farmer afford to allow a scrub
sire to deceive him any longer with
such difference in favor Of the pure
bred. Lets resolve to make bologna
of the scrubs and get pure bred If
his place before New Years.
Len Scott a we'll known Hereford
breeder made the statement last week
that he is not at all down hearted be
cause of the present prices. He said
that he can make money out of steer
that will sell between ten and twelve
cents with grain prices where they
are.
His reasoning Immediately leads
you to decide that pure bred steers
enable one to make a goodly profit. a
premium is being paid for good quail
ty stuff, which is correct and repaya
the producer for having invested il
that kind OF seed stock. Study To 2
range of prices and then decide what
kind you want to raise and the only
kind you can afford to consider. Cor
rect you are, it is the pure bred.
