Four centuries of scientific cultivation, cross-pollination, inbreeding, and study of the native North American product which is the backbone of virtually every farm in the fertile corn belt of the Midwest bridged the gap.
Beeson Traces Evolution
Keller E. Beeson of Purdue University’s. agricultural department described the evolution. “The earliest settlers of the continent found Indians cultivating a strange grain which they ground into meal for human food,” he explained. : “The newcomers cleared tracts and raised some of this new crop themselves. The Spanish brought horses and the corn proved to be an ex-

“In the last century the art of inbreeding, improving the strain by using only the superior ears for parents, has produced corn’s latest success—the hybrid variety. “Today there are more than 100 varieties of corn, all with the common ancestry. Livestock feeding takes all but about 15 per cent of the nation’s annual output. That 15 per cent goes into industrial uses which include manufacture of alcoholics and corn meal for human consumption. “The crop is the financial backbone of virtually every farm in the corn belt reaching from Ohio fo Nebraska and from the Ohio River north to Wisconsin and Minnesota.” Mr. Curry had his own share in improvement of the crop.

To establish a graduated duty on Philippine commodities entering the United States, beginning with 5 per cent in 1941 and amounting to 100 per cent in 1961. 2. To exempt coconut oil, pearl buttons, cigars and scrap tobacco, and embroidered work from provisions of the graduated duty, and establish instead graduated dutyfree quotas decreasing gradually between 1941 and 1961. 3. To make the duty on embroidery applicable only on value added in the Philippines, provided the textiles are of American origin. 4. To provide for the same coconut oil and sugar excise taxes, ‘which are now refunded to the Philippine Treasury in the average amount of 25 million dollars annually, for “economic adjustment,” with the President of the United States authorized to discontinue paymentsy if he finds the money being used for other purposes. 5.
