Corn that will ripen In Idaho haa been evolved in connection with the experiment station of the Stats university at this place.

The work has been carried on under the di rection- of Professor Henderson; ' It Is generally known that mudh diffi culty attends tha growing of corn In Idaho, while the climate condltiona are almost perfect for the maturing of wheat, oats, grasses, barley and other commercial plants, corn haa never done well; in facttwehaabeen a failure as far aa . commercial results are . con cerned. The difficulty has been that the cereal will not, .mature properly, hence the importance of tba discovery.
