AF7Z7t j HE only plant which botanists have ever considered as an ancestor of our present cultivated varieties of maize is the wild grass, teosinte. They have long believed that the presence of Indian corn or maize in America represented an evolution brought about by the crude methods of the Indians and extending through untold centuries. Luther Burbank, in order to prove the truth of this theory, carried the plant through evolutions and produced perfect ears of corn in the Slmsta county, California, is the WHAT ST.

Where teosinte had formerly relied upon the frosts to loosen up the ground for the seed, It found in the Indian a friend who crudely but effectively scratched the soil and doubled the chance for its baby plant to grow. i Where it had been choked by plant enemies, and starved for air and sunlight by weeds, It found in the Indian a friend who cut down and kept oft ts competitors. Where It had been lestroyed by the animals before Its maturity, it found the selfish profee-.Ioof the savages as grateful us though it had been Inspired by altruism. Planted In patches, Instead of struggling here and there as best it could before, the teosinte grass found its multiplication problem made easier through the multitude of pollen grains now floating through the air. And so. by slow degrees, It responded in Its new environment by bearing more and bigger seed. As the seed kernels increased In numbers and In size, the cob that bore them grew In length. meal-tim- e From two, the rows of kernels Increased to four, to six, to eight, to fourteen.

It is not even known how long the Indians had been cultivating this Improved corn. That it was long before the appearance ot Europeans, however, Is evident not only from its early and widespread cultivation by tribes of the area now embraced In the United States, but from the fact that indications of its cultivation are found in mounds and In the ancient pueblo ruins and cliff dwellings. In 1779, during the Revolution, General Sullivan led the famous punitive expedition against the Iroquois (Five Nations) In central New York. His mission was to destroy the villages and crops of the Indians. The Iroquois lived In fixed habitations and had thousands of acres of corn and orchards, and it was good corn and well cultivated, with pumpkins between the rows. Nowadays the annual corn crop of the world and It is grown from Canada to the Argentine republic and in parts of Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia amounts to approximately s three billion bushels, of which is grown in the United States, where it exceeds in value the combined wheat and cotton crops, or approximately four billion dollars. It must be remembered, too, that between the original wild grass and the corn which the white men found the Indian cultivating here, there was undoubtedly a very long period of the pod corn, in which each kernel was enclosed in a sheath. When It is considered that the elimination of this sheath in Itself unquestionably required muny centuries, some idea may be gained of the probable total length of time necessary to develop teosinte into the perfected ear of plant-breedin- g three-quarter- ' Teosinte seeds large, fat kernels. e chltinous covhave always a a few year of end But the at ering.
