It th%.labor and Investment used on corn could he set down, the total would be great. The | uses of corn are as Interesting as the I history of the grain. Corn originated, very likely, from a wild plant that lived in the high . altitudes of mountainous Mexico or ( Central America. The Indians de- ’ veloped it and the white invaders ini- 1 proved on this development, so that today we have flint, dent, sweet, pop and other varieties of corn. The grain has become so popular in Europe that some historians have attempted to prove that it originated along the Mediterranean. When we think of corn, we think, usually,' of planting, cultivating, shucking, silo tilling and feeding it. We do not think so often of meal and hominy. Even more rarely do we think of starch, syrup, gluten feed, corn oil cake meal and the like, and yet large factories are using millions of bushels of our grain for making such materials, and candy makers, bakers and textile manufacturers -are interested in corn because its pro duction is important totheir business. The Associated Corn Products Manufacturers recently issued a booklet of 19 pages telling how corn is handled ' in \lie factories and explaining the uses of the products. A review of the book can not be made here, but the text is worth very careful reading. In 1919, 65,000.000 t bushels of corn were manufactured into corn products and 1,500,000,000 1 pounds of corn syrup, 800,000,000 pounds of starch, 125,000.000 pounds 1 of corn sugar. 95,000,000 pounds of corn oil, 450,000t0ns of corn gluten feed and 45,000 tons of corn oil cake and meal were manufactured. We eat corn with our purchased canned fruits, and it is good for us. We buy corn when we purchase clothing. Women put corn on their faces to enhance their beauty and if they get on too much they may wash it off with soap made partly from corn. A young man talscs corn to his sweetheart in the form of candy and after | he marries the girl he buys her torn from the bakery when he thinks he ibuying only wheat. I The laboratory teaches ns better ( ways of raising corn and at the same time it teaches us improved methods of refining it to feed our bodies and clothe them Indiana Farmer’s Guide. Os course this community is in favor of any trans continental highway which can be established and will do any thing reasonable to secure as many of them as possible. However the state highway commission does not seem to look with very much favor on named routes, preferring to co operate with other states and with the federal commission in securing continuous numbers on roads, so taht route number ten In New York state will be the same In California and all the states between. And to secure improved highways we should listen to the desires, of the state highway commissions who are, devoting their time to the work and who at least feel they ought to be consulted firn such

Rev. W. W. Culp, of South Bend, has eloped with his sister-in-law , again. A few months ago they left yirs Culp and her nine children to I struggle along the best they could, , hut after a few weeks Culp returned and begged forgiveness and was given another chance. Yesterday he skipped again with the ninety dollars the family had saved and about the same time the sister-in-law also fades out of Naponee. A couple of years ago Culp eloped from Xenia, Ohio, and was absent with some sister for three months. They think he has gone to Mexico and it will probably be better for his family and his community if he stays there about fifty years and then goes bn south. Bill Rogers says in answer to an invitation to become a candidate for governor of Oklahoma hasn t voted there for years because they never put up the men he wanted to vote for but if they will nominate him he will sure come home to vote for himself. Ami at that he isn’t so different from many others who only take an interest in politics when they want something for themselves. Perhaps in his humorus way he has touched the secret of why politics is in an awful muddle. South Bend Masons have started a campaign to raise a million dollars with which to build a Temple and at ilMs banquet which started the program they raised fifty thousand dollars in twenty-five minutes, an aver age of two thousand per minute. It was easy and no doubt the last fifty can l>e raised just as quickly, but there’s a long, rough jaunt in between those two terminals. _ I About nine times out of ten when automobile accidents happen, some } one has violated some traffic law. £ Either they are going too fast, get ‘ over on the wrong side of the road, try to beat a train, operate with the 1 bright lights on or do something f which could easily have been avoided. As the week-end approaches it is well to remember that we can't be c too careful. 1 Beets and corn are in good condltion in Adams county and that's a e large part of the crop of greatest importance.’ With these two produc- 1 ing average yields and with prices ( tip, the farmers of this vicinity will get along better than for two or three ( years. 0 —— j J Big Features Os ( RADIO | ( Programs Today i FRIDAY’S RADIO FEATURES WEAK.

’largest WHEAT YIELD 19-Aere Field In Knox County Makes 43.6 Bushels Per Acre; Test Is High. Lafayette, Ind.. July 17 (United | Press)—The largest yield of wheat reported from any place in Indiana thus far this year came from Knox county, where Patrick Lenehan threshed 19 acres that yielded 13.6 bushels to the acre. It tested 61 and 62 pounds to the bushel which is much better than most of the wheat threshed this year, due to unfavorable weather during the year. Lenehan’s wheat was of the Purkoff variety., which was originated by the Agricultural Experiment Station of Purdue, by crossing Malakoff. a hard Russian wheat, and Michigan Amber, a soft red wheat. Purkoff has shown up especially well for southern Indiana and because of its extreme hardiness in withstanding, .the winter has proven better than any other variety yet deleveloped. It’s hardiness ami superior yielding ability has made it a quick favorite witli the growers. in a variety test on the Moses Fell Annex farm near Bedford, owned and operated by the Experiment Station.
