ideal which he never satisfied.
He could have been rich man if he
had chosen to be. He died in 1910,
leaving but little property, because he
never sold an ear of corn that was not
good enough to plant on his own farm.
His small estate was soon wiped out
by unsound investment.
He is survived by his widow, adj
vanced in years, and a daughter, Olive,
both of whom are in none too COM
Portable circumstances, and in poor
health. The Reid Memorial associa-
ton is raising a fund of $4,000 to

widow and daughter. After their
death the fund will pass to the Univer.

corn.
Mrs. James L. Reid, who tells this
story, often helped her husband select
corn for breeding purposes. She and
her daughter, Olive, who live together

judge, and awarded his corn the high

eral attention, and two years later two
exhibits were sent to the Worlds Co.

history of the corn was printed on
cards hung above the exhibits, and it

From this start the corn took hold,
and soon became the most popular

seed-corn business grew out of this.
1t barely covered expenses the first
year. the price being $3.50 bushe!.
Orders piled in from all sections, and
some of the grain found it's way to
South America, Australia, Englind
and South Africa.
The demand for seed increased, and
Mr.. Reid began to look around for a
bigger farm In 1902 he moved to a
200-acre farm near East Lynn, in
Northern Vermilion county. Here he
built large seed house in expecta-
ton of larger trade; but, strange as
| it may seem, he never could make the
business pay. Perhaps the reason for
this was that he had too much of the
artist in him. He selected all the seed
corn so carefully that he seldom had
over 300 to 400 bushels to SELL A bet
ter business man would have sold most
of the corn crop for seed, since the
average quality was very high.
4 But he was always stickler for
principle, and he often said:
II will never sell for seed an ear of
corn which l myself would not use on
my own farm"
He would even turn down offers fol-
especially selected seed at S. to $40 g

was around So bushel.
The ideal ear of corn, to Mr.. Reds

nels set in distinct rows, is to % rows

rounded, especially the butt, and the
kernels deep and shapely, of medium
size, gently tapering and of bright
yellow color. The shank of the ear
was medium small, clean, and healthy

not coarse or chaffy. The shelled corn
had an oily appearance, with long

In the United States, in 1920, there
were 36O,00O,0OO chickens. They pro-

year 1919, brought $1,O4S, 100000. This
was 80 per cent of the total value of

Poultry turns waste into profit

A farm without some poultry, gar.

1.-THE man who put more millions in
the pockets of the farmers of the Corn
Belt than any man living" is what
James Wilkes Jones, former manager
of the National Corn exposition, said
of James L. Reid, originator of the
famous Reid's Yellow Dent corn, which
is grown on more than half the farms
in the Corn Belt.
Seyenty-seven years ago John
Reid, father of James L. Reid, who de-
veloped the famous Reds Yellow
Dent corn, in moving his family from
Brown county, Ohio, to the prairies of
Delevan, Illinois, brought with him
several bags of seed corn. 1t was
known as the Gordon Hopkins corn,
and had a light reddish, yellow-capped
kernel His brother, Daniel, who had
already settled on the prairie, asked
him to bring the seed, since the corn
In Central Illinois didn't produce as
we'll as the Buckeye product.
Planted late the following spring,
the corn did not fully mature. The
best of it was saved for seed; but the
next year the field had to be replanted
with the Little Yellow, local variety
which Daniel Reid did not like so
well.
Cross-pollination resulted, and today
the variety which has come out of that
cross Is known as Reds Yellow Dent,
various strains of which are grown on
more than half the farms in the Corn
Belt Credit for developing the type
really belongs to the son, James l..
Reid. James learned about corn early
in life. At the age of nine, because OF
his fathers illness, he had to learn to
harness team and to guide pillow
Little by little he assumed responsible
ity for the farm work But he always
followed the direction of his exacting
father; and, being thoughtful, ambi-
tious lad, soon was the mainstay of the
family.
He continued the corn work with en-
thusiasm Each year he selected the
best ears for seed In this work he
was very exacting because of his de-
sire to develop a better ear Of corn
than that grown on the farm.
He gradually evolved a nice ear OF
corn. 1t was of medium size, of bright
yellow color, deep, compact grains, and
a small cob of lively red. Fearing that
further cross-pollination would inter
fere with the development of the ear
he gave the neighbors on surrounding
farms enough corn to plant their fields
They then quit the varieties they has
been accustomed to.
Mr.. Reid always gave seed to his
neighbors in years of drought or i'm
mature corn. Some of these farmers
were idlers, but this didn't make any
difference. His crib came to be called
"Joseph's Crib" by his friends.
The fame of Reid's corn spread over
the county. Farmers would come to
see 1t and would walk through the
fields to make sure that the ears in
the center and at the other end of the
rows were just as good as those in
front.
Friends urged Mr.. Reid to show his
corn they believed it would win
prizes. Finally he did show at few
local fairs, taking ribbons. In 1891 he
was persuaded to send samples to the
corn show at the Illinois State fair.
