A . Fanrrr. Winner of W. K. Kellogg Trophy, with the Trophy and the 1910 Champion Ear R. A. James, o f Charleston, III., has j the proud distinction o f having grown the best ear o f corn in all the 3,125,- 713,600 bushels of last year's bumper crop. At the National Corn Show re- certly held at Columbus, Ohio, this gentleman was awared the W. K. Kellogg National Corn Trophy, donated in 1909 by W. K. Kellogg, president of the Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co. of Battle Creek Mich. Thousanda of ears of corn from alt parts o f the country and o f all varieties were entered in the competition. The selection of the grand champion sweep- stakes and the award o f the Kellogg trophy were made on general points of superiority. The ear o f corn grown by Mr. James is of Reid’s Yeilow Dent variety. It is 10 inches long, 7} inches in circumfer ence, and has 20 rows o f kernels, 6 to the inch in the row, average | o f an inch in depth, and 5— 16 of an inch in width. It is indeed a very correct type o f yeiiow dent corn. Mr. James, the winner, is a vigorous farmer about 40 years o f age and of pleasing personality, a man who has given careful study to corn culture, and who has achieved, his success as a grand champion winner only by years o f hard work and pairstaking seed selection and careful breeding from season to season. Illinois growers are especially elated over the result for the reason that this s the first time in four years that the honors have been wrested from the state o f Indiana. Last year’s champion ear, the first winner of the K -g trophy, was grown by Fred C. Pa in, o f Newton, Ind. It was also o f P i.d 's Yellow Dent variety, crossed with Alex ander Gold Standard. Last year’s prize winner is the most perfectly formed ear of the two, though it requires a careful judge to distinguish the pjint of superirity. The trophy a waded to Mr. Jatnea was made by Tiffany, o f New York, for Mr. W. K. Kellogg, at a cool of $1,000. It is made of Sterling silver, bronze and enamels, and is truly an artistic creation. It stands 30 inches in height. Mr Kellogg’s interest in c rn growing can be understood when it it stated that the Kellogg Toasted Coin Flake Co., o f which he is preside: t, has an output requiring 10,900 bushels of corn a day, raw product, for Its manufacture. A peculiar feature is that while the Kellogg product is ;na> « exclusively from selected white corr, the Kellogg trophy has been won eacn time by a yellow corn exhibit, i'he trophy is offered for an annual compe tition until won twice by the same grower. The National Corn Show at which the award was made, was an eYt .t of tremendous magnitude. At one of ih# sessions President Taft was present and delivered an address.
