CORN IS A WINNER If it be that Be who makea two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is a public benefactor then he who takes the native Indian corn and gives it a distinctive form, type and pedigree, creates a variety that is better in quality and better in yield, he no less confers a public benefit. H.

G. Easterly, who lives three miles weat of Carbondale, at "The Cedars" has perfected a type of corn which in a recent four-yeai test for yfeld per acre has defeated sixteen of old standard varieties of Illinois corn on untreated Southern Illinois soil. This corn is known as Easterly's White. The University of Illinois Agricultural Experiment Station has just issued a bulletin on "Yields of Different Varieties of Corn in Illinois." This "Bulletin No. 191" has this to say: "Oh well fertilized land in Southern Illinois, Funk's 90 Day has given the highest yield of any variety which has been tested for four years or more.

The other leading high yielding varieties tested on land for a minimum of four years are Ried's Yellow'Dent, Perrine's White Pearl arid Chinese Poor Land. On untreated land.

Easterly's White have been the highest yielders for three years In connection with thfi regular work on the crop field at additional tests were made on un- treated land close to the field, ihampion White Pearl, Pence's White Pearl and Easterly's White varieties have been grown in South- ren Illinois until tbev have become well adapted to conditions obtaining there. Varieties such as Reid's Yellow Dent and Funk's 90 D'ay, which lave been grown under the more favorable soil conditions of Central Illinois, cannot compete with adapted varieties on the poor land of Southern Illinois." It must be known that Easterly's White" was grown in competition with 17 other standard varieties, and this leads us to a brief history of Easterly's White. Says the bulletin Easterly's White was developed from Boone Coanty White. The original seed was secured from Mr.

A. P. Grout in 1901. Mr. H.

G. Easterly of Jackson County, Illinois', changed the name to White. Ordinarily the variety de- velopss fully in 115 to 125 And further the bulletin says: Bopne Count? White was originated by Mr, James Riley in Indiana in 1876. The parent type was known as White Maatodoh, which was a coarse, late-maturing variety. In 1882 aome of the saed was brought to Champaign county bv Mr.

0. C. Black. The variety matures in il5 to 125 days." So here we have "pedigreed corn." Easterly's Vvhite can be traced through field and crib, through improvement, cultivation end selection for 40 years; until it has become a distinct type. And more than that it has besome a type adapted to the untreated soils of Southern Illinois.

Nearly everybody in Illinois who ia interested in agriculture has heard of G. Easterly. He was for a great many years a director of the Illinois Farmers' Institute from the 25th Congressional District, and was made president. of the State Insti tule. He took an old worn-out Jackson county farm and has built it up made it productive and profitable.

Illinois needs mure men like ihe conn who has originated and bred Easterly's White. WILD FLOWERS Harried by the farmer's, plow; driven ever farther west, the wild flowers that once dotted, Illinois' prairie, with nothing to fear but drought and foopd. refuge at last and again are raising their faces to the blue sky. Out on Rock river, in the Mississippi Valley, is their haven on part of Colonel Frank O. Lowden'a Sinniaaippi Farm, where Mr.

and Mrs. are encouraging them in trench" fight against extinction. Botanists in Rosktord, Oregon and other nearby towns have learned that in the prairie stretches of Sinnissippi there have been left sequestered spats where the "old fashioned" blooms are not disturbed by scythe nor pickle nor plow. Theee students of the natural are welcomed their pressing books and magnifying glasses, but the ordinary sight seeing visitor is nut expected to pluck and carry away. Buttercups and golden rod? Of course, but also there are the 'jphunv Jumpupa, Snap Dragons, Pulpit and, Dutchman's Breeches, There is the Purple Iris or Blue Flag, in a happy family with pink.

and. blue Phlox. The Wild 'Primrose nestles alongside a fence with Lilhes of. the Valley that have spread to wildness from the cultivated beds near the Lowdeu Yellow Black- eyed Susans, with their dark-centers, nod at the passing automobiles of tcuristE. Heart's Ease and Hepaticas and Trilliums venture out frpm the shade of the protecting woods, where the Mandrake ripens its apple-like 'ruit, along with Violets and Moss ioses.

Perhaps Colonel Lowden had in mind the flowers as well as his fields and cattle whnn, in a recent speech, lesaid: "I am not worried about the outcome of my campaign for governor. On my farm there are for me the quiet and dignity of a full life among the things I hold most clear."
