Corn Is King

looked. The Japanese earthquake, the Rnhr
puzzle, the Greco-Italian flame, the disappearing
mark monoplize the first page of newspapers.
But in reality they cannot eclipse the ripened
bumper corn crop in the United States.
A yield of more than three billion bushels has
matured and is rapidly getting into the shock.
The agricultural department predicts the second
largest corn crop ever produced. At the present
price that represents n money value Of about two
and a quarter billion dollars.
Wheat is now cheap and corn dear, although
American wheat this year fell far below a ban
ner record. But there is a reason for this dispar.
iy in relative price.
Corn means beef and pork and chicken and
eggs, and to some extent milk and butter. Wheat
means bread alone. OF bread the world has now
a full supply, but for the things which corn
produces there is a great demand. American
wheat has a terrific competitor in Canada, but
American corn stands supreme and alone.
This stupendous harvest of corn will be a boon
to millions of our farmers and 1t will, as indi.
Gated above, be a factor on every dinner table in
the land. Measured in dollars, corn is by far the
most valuable one crop grown in any country
on earth.
Those long rows Of corn shocks, like tented
soldiers on tens of thousands of fields, are actu.

against famine and food scarcity. Long live King
Corn!

Alfonso's crown remains In place and his

king-and there have been enough to cause him
all kinds of uneasiness-he has retained the af-
lection of the people by his courage and his OBJ
v1ous devotion to their cause. Nor has he shun-

Alfonso is said to cherish the ambition to be
the first president of Spain. Should ever a re-
public be proclaimed and his name presented
there Is little doubt that the would get a large
vote. The king business, MS n rule, develops neith-
er the spirit or service nor n sense OF democracy.
But Alfonso has done moro than any other Span
lard to stimulate n progressive spirit among his
people and to encourage new industry and mod.
ern methods. A student of economies and bust
mess, and nm active shareholder in numerous
modern industries, he has sought to bring to
Spain what is best in the methods of manufactur-
Ing developed in Germany and the United States.
BY his own simplicity and friendliness he has set
an example of the Democratic spirit which some
of his c%ourtiers, politicians and officers might
have followed with benefit to themselves and
TO their country. But IL is these very qualities
OF his which lessen rather than increase his
chances OF realizing his ambition. as they fur.
nish the greatest obstacle TO a revolution in
