In Iowa, D. L. Pascal, of DeWitt, who purchased his own grown ear at $150 at the auction of the Iowa Corn Growers' Association in January, 1907, has through rigid selection established a Pascal type. Mr. Pascal is himself a lover of good corn, and studies the growth of the trial plots in the field. Eastern Iowa has profited much by his influence. J. F. Summers, of Malvern, being on the rich soil of the Nishna- botna River, has by careful selection and care in removing weak and barren stalks from REID'S YELLOW DENT his breeding blocks, brought out a heavy yielding type with a very deep kernel. F. S. Bone, of Grand River, has carried the theory of experimental breeding into actual operation on the farm. The results of his efforts are showing in local and state contests. W. A. Hook, of Packwood, though starting in a small way, may be said to be keeping the closest records of his breeding work of any breeder in the state. Among other men who are producing a consistent type of Reid corn in Iowa are John Sundberg, of Whiting; Bennett Brothers, of Ames; M. S. Nelson, of Goldfield; Fred McCulloch, of Hartwick; L. C. llutcheson, of West Branch; Neal Brothers, of Mt. Vernon; George M. Allee, of Newell; W. P. Coon, of Ames; Charles O. Gar- rett, of Alitchellville, C. R. Bishop, of Altoona and Willard Zeller, of Cooper. IOWA SILVER MINE HISTORY. The Iowa Silver Mine originated with J. H. Beagley, of Sibley, Illinois, from seed of a white corn which won a prize at the Ford County Farmers' Institute in 1890. After several years of care- ful breeding, enough seed was secured to plant 20 acres
