If nil the corn raised In Missouri in
1909 hud been exported it would have
supplied the Kuropean trade for four
years. Had the European export lor
one year only been taken from the Mis
souri output, there would have re
mained enough corn to allow fifty bush
els for every man, woman and child In
the State, or two bushela for every
man, woman and child In the 80,000,
000 in the United States to-day. The
St. Louis Globe-Democrat exultingly
presents the above figures.
Yet Missouri la by no means alone;
:here are twenty-four other states, each
of which produce more than 13,000,000 bushels of corn each year, eight others
whoso individual output each year is in excess of 100,000,000 bushels. No
wonder that corn has been erowned king, particularly In view of the fact,
as Secretary Wilson ha3 figured it, that the 1900 crop, of the value of $ 1,720,
000,000 (nearly equal to the value of the clothing aud personal adornments
of 76,.r)00,000 people) "has grown up from the soil and out of the air In 120
days, $15,000,000 a day for one crop; nearly enough for two Dreadnaughts
daily for peace or war." Tho gold and silver coin and bullion of the United
States are not of greater value. The best ear of corn growing in Iowa last
year sold for $160. The best yield reported was 153 bushels to the acre. Had
the man who grew the record yield grown corn as good as the best ear his
acre would have been worth $1,830,000.
The farmers of the corn bu't have been slow to learn the lesson of these
yields. The awakening did not come until a half dozen years ago. Thanks
to the splendid work of Prof. P. G. Holden and his famous corn gospel trains
to the various fanners' institutes, to the State and county fairs, and to the
sterling work of the progressive farm journals, the average production in
Iowa has been increased from 25 bushels In 1901 to 32.2 In 190S. Now that
the corn growers have had visual, tangible evidence of increased profits by
using care in selecting and breeding seed corn, they are ready to adopt what
were the untried theories of a few years ago, but are the proven facts of to
day. Thy have discovered that the State nverage need not stop at 32.2 bush
els per acre, any more than it needed to stop at 25 a half dozen years ago.
Taking tho 153-uushel yield of 1909 and averaging it with the smallest
yield of the thirteen growers who, with yields in excess of 71 bushels to the
acre, competed for the Iowa record last year, an average yield of 112 bushels
to tho acre is had. This is three and one-half times the average production
of corn fields the State over. If this ratio could be maintained Iowa would
yield each year an average of 1,088,000,000 bushels of corn, worth approxi
mately $000,000,000 on the December market.
Tho metropolitan editor who emblazoned the motto, "Soak your seed
corn, at the top or his editorial column regularly as the planting season
approached finally became the sport of his confreres. But Iowa, being the
largest agricultural State in the country, has at last learned that seed corn
must be selected and bred as carefully and as scientifically as the fine live
stock for which it Is famous. Corn germination has become a study, corn
growing is rapidly becoming a scientific achievement rather than a haphazard
means of livelihood. Yet even with the delayed agronomic awakening the
results already attained are simply astounding.
Four-fifths of all the billions of bushels of corn raised In the United
States is used in live stock feeding. David Uankln of Tarklo, Mo., the larg
est farmer In America, raises a million br V.ols of corn each year, yet never
has an ear to sell. On the other hand, he in constantly In the market to buy
all his neighbors' corn. Other farmers do not go In for stock feeding on
such an extensive scale, but the prodigal prosperity of the corn belt to-day
Is due to the fact that the farmers have learned to raise more corn, to feed
the corn to stock, and through the manure to return to the soil the elements
of fertility of which it had been robbed In growing the crop . Farming has
thus become a sort of "On again, off again, Flanagan" proceeding with the
bank accounts of the corn belt growing more plethoric as the success of thi3
procedure has become generally realized.
But not all the corn 13 fed to stock or eater, in the form of hominy,
bread or cakes. Of the total crop of 2,G0G,000,000 bushels raised in 1908, it
is computed that 241,000,000 bushels were consumed in four and grist mill
products, 8,000,000 bushels in the manufacture of starch, 9,000,000 bushels
for malt liquors, 40,000,000 bushels for glucose, 190,000,000 bushels for export
and 13,000,000 bushel3 for seed; a total of 501,0Q0,000 bushels, or 19 per cent

of the entire crop. The remaining 81 per cent, or 2,105,000,000 bushels, was
used almost entirely for feeding.
The crop king provides Its subjects with broad, meat and sugar, to say
nothing of whisky. Done Into pones and hoecake, it brings "the smilo that
won't come off" to the faces of millions of darkies, and Is rapidly 'becoming
a more popular dish on the menu of prosperous white folks. A few years
ago an exclusive corn barbecue was served In the capital city of Iowa, the oc
casion being known as the Feast of Puoa Ezlam, which is maize soup spelled
backwards. Everything on tho bill of fare was a concoction of corn, and that
the menu was by no means monotonous thousands who were hungry but
were fed can testify. Fed to steers, corn supplies mankind with the best
beef in the world, while annually the amount of corn converted into sugar
and sugar products is rapidly Increasing.
The average person has little or no idea of the extent to which corn
starches, sirups, sugars, oils and dextrlnes are used. Corn Btarchea are used
in laundries, for food (jellies nnd puddings), for candies (gumdrops and lo
zenges), as sizes for stiffening and finishing warp and cop yarns und fabrics
in textile Industries; In paper manufacture as a filler and finisher; for cos
metics and asbestos; in brewing beer and ale and by alcohol manufacturers.
Corn sirups are used for mixing with cane sirup and molasses in the pre
paration ofmixed sirups for confectionery, baking, jams, jellies and pre
serves; for the manufacture of vinegar, brewing of beers; In the manufac
ture of chewing tobacco, food sauces; canning of meats, pastes nnd Blzes;
tanning of leather, blacking, printers' rollers, shoe polishes; for finishing
molds in Iron foundries, in extracts, such as logwood, etc., and in silvering
glass for mirrors. Corn sugars are used In the manufacture of caramel or
sugar coloring and lactic acid for tanning, In the brewing of beers, ales, por
ters, etc., and in vinegar. The uses of corn oil are the manufacture of
soap, soft soap and soap powders, oilcloth and leather, paragol or rubber
substitute; for edible purposes, shortening for bread and cakes, for frying
and cooking and salad oil, for cup greases and screw-cutting oil, paints and
varnishes and for sizing In textile industries. Dextrlnes are used in sizes for
lowing lines of business: In the textile Industry they are used In sizes for
strengthening the fiber and finishing the fabric; for cloth, carpet, twine, etc.;
for thickening colors for calico, and other printing; leather dressings, pastes;
for food sauces, gums and glues and ink mucilage.
American ingenuity lins mado corn even more useful than the hog.
There is no "squeal" loss to corn, as the thrifty farmers know who use the
cobs as fertilizers (because of the potash they contain), or as winter fuel
(three tons of cobs having a fuel value equal to one ton of hardwood), the
cornstalks and leaves for dairy food, the husks for mattresses and the entire
plant (root, ears, stalk and all) for silage. But the commercial uses of the
plant Itself are many and inventive genius Is coming each year to find new
corn possibilities.
From the husks are made a cheap grade of hats, used to a large ex
tent in the southern States. In the northern States they make a coarse
doormat out of the husks. They are also used as a packing in the manufac
ture of horse collars.
The woody part of the corn plant, such as the outer shell, is com
posed largely of celllulose. Celllulose is used In the manufacture of ex
plosives. It Is treated with chemical compounds, such aa nitric and sul
phuric acids. Gun cotton Is the result. Nltro glycerine, a very powerful
explosive, can be very readily made from the hard, woody portions, of the
corn plant. From this cellulose Is also made what is called pyroxylin
varnish.
After an ear of corn has been Fhelled there Is a soft, fuzzy coat upon
the cob. This is called "corn down." It is used to a large extent in padding
mattresses.

pori (ra.i urn. ii passes inrougu several
stages of life before it reaches adult devel
opment, encountering new perils In each
cne. In tho first three stages tho lobster
is a helpless little swimming speck with
the instinct of a rounder and a3 regardless of his wel
fare. His greatest Joy Is In pouncing upon and grasping
the spec k of fish which he gits outside of before another
little lobster appears to test the claim. Even while ho
is eating this he may be himself pounced upon by a
larger specimen of his species aud devoured In the same
way.
Fl-ihlng for lobsters is a very simple operation. Tho
lit.heiman takes his traps in an open boat, rows to tho
fishing ground, which la usually in some sheltered buy
or cove, drop.! the traps already baited overboard and
fastens them to an outline. There Is nothh g more lor
him to do except to go along the lino at stated Intervals
and raise the traps. Occasionally a trail will hold a half
e'ezen good sized lobsters. Usually a number of smaller
onej are caught with each of tho larger ones, and If ho
is a law abiding fisherman these are dumped buck Into
the sea. If he is not, they make a tit hit for some epi
cure if the fisherman can get them ashore unnoticed.
lobsters are found all along the Atlantic const, but
are chiefly sought from Maine to New Jersey. The best
of lobsters comes from the north coast and It Is there,
of course, that the fishing Is mo:it vigorously prosecuted.

With the foundering of two ships,
the burning of another and tho loss
of fifty-two lives in tho bitter cold
and storm of the first weeks in De
cember, tho 1909 season of great lakes
navigation closed a season In serious
disasters, loss of llfo and property and
tragic incident one of the most re
markable In the history of shipping
on tho lakes. Storm and wrecks claim
ed more than a hundred lives in the
eight months of navigation. Property
of valuo estimated to be greater than
$2,000,000 was destroyed. Channels
wore blocked by the hulks of lost
ships and tho shores were hardly ever
frco from wreckage after tho mlddlo
of April.
The season of 1909 was tho most
disastrous to shipping of any with tho
exception' of 1905. Tho property loss
In that year was placed at $2,341,500.
Flfty-ono ships were wrecked repre
senting a net tonnage of 98,095. The
following table for the six years prior
to 1900 gives some ldoa of the tribute
shippers must pay.

The season of 1900 was disastrous
above the average Sixty-two vessels
of various sorts passed out of exist
ence. Their value was $1,212,000. In
1907, forty-eight ships were lost, of
an estimate value of $700,000. In 1908
fifty-three were total wrecks, repre
senting a property loss of $031,000.
The mystery which has attended
the loss of so many vessels was illus
trated in tho coso of the Adella
Shores. Apparently In perfect condi
tion and manned by a crew of experi
enced sailors, she passd the Koo Into
Luko Superior, on April 2J. No man
ever Baw her again. Days afterward
a few pieces of wreckage were found
floating in the vicinity of Whiteflsh.
Point. They were the last signs of the
Adella Shores.
Even more mysterious was the losa
of the big freighter D. M. Clerulnson,
on Lake Superior, Dec. 6, 1898. Thla
boat carried a crew of twenty-four
men. How or why she foundered la
one of tho unexplained tragedies of
lake navigation. The bodies of two
of the crew were found, but they bor
no evidence to explain the disaster.
The climax came with the loss of
the Bessemer and Marquette car ferry
No. 2, plying between Conneaut and
Port Stanley. The car ferry was a
largo and very seaworthy boat, valued
at nearly half a million dollars with,
cargo. It left Conneaut for its regu
lar trip Dec. 7. It carried a crew ot
thirty-one men and one passenger.
The loss of the car forry will go
down in lake history as another unex
plained tragedy. At first no alarm wu
felt for tho big craft. It was thought
she had sheltered until the violence ot
the storm should bo past. Two days
went by, then three nnd four. Anxie
ty gave way to fear and finally to the
conviction that hope was futile. Fivo
days after the car ferry disappeared
mute evldenco was found which
proved the wreck beyond all doubt.
The heavy loss of life on the Great
Lakes last season has aroused strong
opposition to prolonging the season of
navigation Into the storms and gales
of the early winter. Most of the sac
rifice of life and losa of property
comes at the beginning or close of the
season. The Pittsburg Steamship
Company, the lake branch of the Unit
ed States 8'oel Corporation, has an
nounced that' It will no longer need
lessly Imperil the lives of its men for
the sake of bringing a few more ton
of ore to the lower lake ports. Here
after, It Is announced, navigation will
close on Nov. 30, no matter what con
ditions may bo.
The disasters of the year have call
ed attention to the necessity for wire
less telegraph outfits on lake vessels.
It is said that at the present tlm
hardly more than fifty of the 2,500
boats on the lakes are equipped with,
wireless. Practically all the loss of
life and property on tho lakes Is con
fined to freight boats. It has been
many years since a passenger boat
was wrecked or a pnssecger lost in
disaster of any kind.
