HE Halted States govern
ment is now at work
upon one of the most am-
bitious and, by tho by,
one of the most interest-
ing projects it lias ever
undertaken. It is noth-
ing short of a scheme.for
moving tho “corn belt.’
Or perhaps it would be
. more accurate to call it
) a crusade for extending
the corn belt,” for there is no de-
sjfc 'to interfere‘with the growing of
our greatest agricultural staple in
that broad section of the country
where corn has long been the pripci-
pal standby of ttfe farmer. The new
plan of the department of agricul-
ture—for of course that i3 the branch
of our government machinery that has
charge of this new activity—is simply
. -
grow where only one grew before.
Although all the world lms been
gasping in astonishment these many
years past at the bumper crops of
corn tfiis country turns out each year,
the experts of the government some
time since came to the conclusion
that great as was the national corn
yield it was not as big as it ought to
be. Furthermore, they thought they
foresaw a time when, with gur rapidly
growing population, tho corn crop
would not be any too big for our own
American appetite and, of course, if
that came to pass, wo would lose more
or less of our foreign trade, for a vast
quantity of Yankee corn products now
find their way to dinner tables over-
seas.
On the theory of r> sftt<h in time
the agricultural sharps proceeded to
V >
lent. FirBt they b«I about
the yield of corn per acre and latterly
they have entered upon the ovyi more
significant mission of extending the
corn growing area. As our readers
are aware most of the corn crop has
been grown heretofore in the middle
