.New York, June 2j. Corn, once
known as the king of American cer
eals, is about to climb back onto his
throne, according to a statement is
sued bv the American museum of nat-
I ural history.
At a tune when there is a serious
shortage of wheat, a discovery just an
nounced by the agricultural experts of
the museum will, it was stated, un
doubtedly be received with keen in
terest by many American farmers.
In front of the museum building
where once grew tulips, today corn is
sprouting. The cereal now in the
flower garden is the Mandan maize,
the secrets of the cultivation of which
were kept for many years by the Man
dan Indians.
An associate of the department of
anthropology of the American mu
seum gained the confidence of Man
dan chieftains and obtained from
them rules for the cultivation of this
variety of corn, which grows succes
fully in cold dry climates.
I he Mandan maize is now being
planted throughout the northwest.
The kernels are in remarkable shades
of red, black and blue. The farmers
of Montana and other mountain states
will be able to raise a corn which
will develop in the proper season. It
is said this discovery will greatly in
crease the volume of corn production
for the United States.
The corn of the Indians more than
once saved the early settlers of this
country from starvation and in this
national crisis of food scarcity it may
once again become our main depend
ence as a food, according to the mu
seum experts.
