Fred C. Palin In- the first place, Palin knov corn. If there werp no proof< this fact than the bare story< the.development and discovej of the champion ear, it wou] be enough. And in proof .< thislact, here is the story as I "It was in November, 1911 and we were just harvestin our crop. The weather ha been good, but we were a littl late with the harvest. Th men were going through th fields with the wagon in th usual way gathering the corr ~and the harvest was a promisin one. "We haye a sort of corn sho' at my farm all the time, an there is always an award fc exceptionally good ents of cor -ear'sufficiently true to typ to permit of their being exhibit ed. There is a small box c: every corn wagon in which th most. perfect ears are thror These, when properly lseket constitute the seed corn, en among these more perfect ear -.we occasionly find an ear the we re illngto exhibit in contest. "On the day the champioi ear was found, I was at th house and at dinner time one o the men brought it in and lais it, with a number of other ear~ upon the window' eill in the rel room for me to take and pu away in the seed house. *"Well,' I said, do you thini you've good ear there? "'It looks to me like a goot ear,' he said. 'What do vot think of it?' "I picked it up a.nd looked i over. 'Well,' I said finally, 'J think it is the most perfect em of corn I ever saw. It's good enough to win the W. K. Kellogg f1,000 troph y tiSs yTC at Omaha.'

Gri: a- Mr. Palin's real experience as n~l re a farmer began about sixteendr e years ago. He had been on the , road as a grocery specialty sales is man, when he took a notion tiva n that he would rather be an agri- woc n culturist, so he took a few short goo courses at Purdue University me and rented-a portion of the farm ma he now occupies. Nine years you ago he began carefully breeding TER this new variety of corn. For two years he planted two rows sTs of Reid's Yellow Dent, then two of Alexander's Gold Standard, detasseling the Gold Standard. corn From the detasseled rows he Lelai picked for seed only the ears th< Scarrying the characteristics he e wanted to reproduce, planting . these in breeding plots and main- w. taining careful selection, so that era in nine years' time he had de- .

The Kellogg Stepi trophy was offered to be award- Wath ed in annual competition for the feet. r' best single ear of corn until won ps twice by the same producer.ch' r The fact that the Kellog product 1 is made only from selected w hite corn, while the winning - was of the prononneed yellow i typte, was a pecuiiar feature.j - JMDE IT TIEANY -J Tw~ice Awarded.
