long shoe peg kernels without rows. It is 
the sweetest of the sweet corns and no finer 
roasting ear is grown. Having no rows, it 
is an excellent sort to grow where worms 
bother the ears, as instead of following a 
row into the center of the ear, thus spoiling 
it, they have no row to follow, and instead 
work around the end of the ear, which can 
be cut off, leaving the balance of the ear 
suitable for use.

THE MOST IMPORTANT INVENTION-DISCOVERY 
MADE BY MAN 
Once upon a time so the story goes, a number of scientists 
sat around a table and discussed inventions and discoveries 
that had contributed greatly to the advancement of civiliza¬ 
tion. Each advanced his pet theory and when through all 
voted on which they considered the most important. 
One learned gentleman chose the “art of writing” as being 
the most important, because only by this means could the ad¬ 
vancement of mankind be handed down fully and accurately 
from one generation to the next. 
One stated that without the “discovery of the use of fire” 
there would be no cooking, no heating of houses, no utilization 
of steam power and modern civilization would be impossible 
without it. 
Another said without the “wheel” there would be no 
factories with gears turning the machinery, no transportation 
with “wheels” carrying the load. Automobiles, trains and 
even wheelbarrows would be impossible. 
Finally one presented this which unanimously was decided 
to be by far the most important. It was: “The discovery of 
the use of seed and the cultivation of crops grown therefrom.” 
It removed the haphazard search for food and clothing and 
changed man from merely a hunter and a nomad to a civilized 
being that had time for things other than the search for a 
mere existence. 
Seed is the basis of Agriculture and good seed is neces¬ 
sary for the growing of good crops. No amount of effort on 
the part of the grower will overcome the handicap of poor seed.
