A Concensus of Facts Pertaining to flnr fir eat Cereal as Gathered In the City Graded School. This stalk of coin wnicn l see is about nine feet long. It has "many joints, and from each of these lomts erows a Ions: leat or - n .- blade. When these blades are dried they are used for fodder. This stalk has eighteen leaves on it. At the top of the stalk is the tassel. The tassel bears the flowers of the plant, which are dark purple in color. About the middle of the stalk we find the ear of corn. The ear is about eight inches long and is covered with husks, the grains being arranged in rows on the cob. It is interesting to know that the grains are always ar ranged in even numbers of rows. Corn is usually planted in the spring of the year. It comes up in from three to seven days after being planted, and is then culti vated with hoes and plows. Wnen ripe it is cut and placed together in shocks. In one shock there are usually from sixty to one hundred hills. . . Corn is used for feeding horses and hogs1, and making bread. If we should go up the Mississ ippi river, for miles and miles we would see nothing but corn. In the United States more than two billion bushels are raised yearly. In the seven States along the Mississippi river, Louiiiana, Ar kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Ken tucky, Tennessee and Mississippi, more than one billion bushels of corn are raised yearly. Our State produces about 30,000,000 bushels of corn annually. If we should put all of the corn ' raised in these States in wagons,1 forty busheb of shelled corn in with their noses right behind the other wagon, guess how far it would reach. Now suppose that the horses could walk on water just as they , The coVh of these States for one year, would reach around the earth six times. And if all of the corn in the United States could be put in ' wagons it - would go around the earth twelve times.". Out of every twenty bushels not more than one is sold to -6ther countries lK ' To find this corn we iaust go and look in the barns of (the farm ers. They feed it to their hogs and cattle. ' l- 1 J England and other countries do not like to buy the corn, so; we fatten the hogs with it and ship the meat of the hogs away. More than one hundred thou sand hogs are exported from this country yearly. Myrtle Dayvault, Seventh Grade. Miss Laura Leslie, Teacher. SIX ARE DEAD. The Great Tank Collapue Unacconnt V able. ' - No cause has yet been discov ered for the collapsing of the great gas tank jn New Yoik city, by which ' 5,000,000 gallons of water were suddenly- ppured upon the streets, dashing everything in its way.
