Then ho took it home , and opening his ledger , made an en try which materially swellec his assets. Then he mortgagee his home and bought an ante mobile and a season ticket foi the opera and gave a large din ner at Sherrj's. And why shouU he not , for was he not a ricl man and could he not prove i by his ledger ? And then OIK day it occurred to him to exam ine his gold brick a little mon closely. Whereupon he foum that it was worth only 10 or li cents , lie lost confidence im mediately , and 'the effort hi made to get rid of the bricl brought on a severe panic. Stop that tickling Cough !

Curious Corn Facts. Few people realize what even a little improvement in corn culture means. During 190(3 ( the United States grew ninety- live million acres of corn. This area produced 2,880,000,000 bushels of corn , worth in round numbers $1,300,000,000. By simply adding one kernel to each ear you add $1,020,000 to the returns from the area pro ducing corn. This increase is infinitesimal in itself and very few farmers who have adopted improved methods , or used pure-bred seed , will admit that less than two to three bushels per acre can be secured. Figure a little further. As stated above , in 1900 the corn crop covered ninety-live million acres. By increasing the yield one bushel to the acre , and figuring this at forty-five cents a bushel , the total value of the corn crop is increased $12,750,000 ; by increasing the yield two bushels , $85,500,000 ; three bushels , $128,250,000 : four bushels , $171,000,000 ; five bush els , the stupendous sum of $213- 750,000. The economic possibilities of the corn plant are almost un limited. At the National Corn Exposition which was held in Chicago , October 5 to 19 , 1907 , one of the most interesting exhibits was that of household articles made trotn corn. This consisted of rugs , portieres , table covers , mats , picture frames , etc. , made from the corn plant. More than five hundred thous and acres ot unproductive swamp land within a radius of three hundred miles of Chicago : can be made great corn fields ; first by drainage , and second , by the application of potash or phosphorus or both. The first named element is usually the one most needed and can be applied at a comparatively small cost. That these waste ir v areas will eventually become great corn fields is almost cer tain. True , they will never grow truck crops , but any consider- able increase in the area devot- n ed to truck will render the busi- r s ness unprofitable by glutting the market. The ever-increas ing demand for corn will absorb almost any extra area without any appreciable effect upon the market. Land which now grows nothing can , at a cost of a few dollars per acre , be made to produce annual crops of from 11 sixty to eighty bushels per acre. This has been definitely demon , strated during the last lew years by at least three experi ment stations in the Middle West and hundreds of practical farmers. About one-third ol all the land under cultivation in the United States is devoted to corn. It is grown on ninety per cent of all the larms in the country. It is worth more than two and one-half times the wheat crop the grain second in importance. No grain lends itself so read , ily to scientific investigation and improvement as does corn. About twelve years ago the agriculture experiment stations began to appreciate this , and today no study is as popular as the study ot corn. Almost every state has its corn-growers' associations , a few have corn- breeders' associations , and all corn states have annual corn schools , annual judging contests and schools of instruction fore expert judges.
