In the first place Palin kndws
corn If there was no more proof
of this fact than the bare story
of the development and discovery
of the eihampiion ear it would lie
enough And in proof of this fact
here is the story as he told it
himself
It was in November 1910
and we were just harvesting oiur
crop The weather had been goad
Jbut we were a little late vvtii
the harvest The men were going
through the fields with the wag
on in the usual way gathering
corn and the harvest was a prom
asing one
sufficiently true to type to per
mit of their being exluiibibeid
Tli ere is a small box on every
corn wagon in which the most
perfect ears are thrown These
when properly selected constit
tute the seed com and among
these more perfect ears we occas
ionally find an ear that we are
wiMing to exhibit in a contest
On the day the champion ear
Kvas foiund I was at the homse
ana ait emmer mme one or tne
men brought it in and laid it
wiith a number of other ears up
on the window sill in the well
roiom for me to take and put
away in the seed house
Well I said do yoai think
youve got a good ear there
when he took a notion that he
wjculd rather be an agricultural
ist so lie took few short courses
at Purdue University and rented
a portion of the farm he now oc
cupies Nine years ago he began
carefully breeding this new
jriety of corn For two years he
planted two rows of Reads Yel
low Dent then two of Alexand
ers Gold Standard dctiasseliing
the Gold Standard From Um de
itaaseiled rows he picked for seed
only the ears carrying the char
acteristics he wanted to repro
duce planting these in breeding
plots and maintaining careful se
lection so that in nine years
tinie he had developed a well-set- j
tied type j

The Kellogg trophy was offered
to be awarded in annual compe
tiition for the best single ear of
corn until won twice by the same
producer The fact that the Kel
logg product is made only from
selected white corn while the
winning ear was of a pronounced
yellow type was a peeuliar feat
