In other words, their thoughts Specimens of giant land tortoises will be of cold, hard cash, ways of increasing their production with a minimum of cost and labor, and not | of the stories and legends of old that have been passed down from family to family and have a place in all textbooks in the schools of today. But the fact remains that there is a historic background to the show. ‘Away back, 100 years or more, on the wild and rolling prairies of| what was to become the state of! North Dakota, there roamed a tribe of Indians named the Mandans. An industrial tribe they were, more given to the business of furnishing @ livelihood for their squaws and papooses than to the business of rivalry and warfare with other In- dian tribes. To that tribe was accredited the distinction of raising the first corn known in the Northwest. Since that time they have been given a place in the school textbooks for their achievement. That was before the white men began flocking to the fertile valleys and dales of the rairie, but the name of the Mandan indians has been passed down from generation to generation. As the farmers, businessmen, bankers, and salesmen pass down the long lanes of corn exhibits, with kernels all of a color, firmly placed in the cob and even rows, little will they think of the scrubby varieties that were produced to keep the In- dians through the long winter months,. The Indian corn, records} of explorers and first settlers show, ‘was of many colors. Kernels were in crooked rows and the cobs were short and odd shaped. Today, with the fine exhibits that are placed on show, the corn would be viewed as a curiosity. But, at the same time, it was the starting of the present-day corn. For dec- ades farmers and scientists have been studying the product and step by step they have brought, by thou- sands of experiments,. the corn to its present condition. Indications are that the scientists may perfect it to still a greater degree. At present, however, the thought foremost in the eye of the business- like farmer of today is to produce the most corn at the lowest cost per acre and to get the largest price per bushel, At the state corn show they will meet growers from all parts of the Northwest and from many parts of the United States. Questions will come up for discus- sion among the groups, and after arguments pro and con, they will go back to their farms the better for the trip. That, besides the principal thought of getting the best corn ex- hibits under one roof for general in- spection, is one of the principal ob- fects of the show. Indications are the show will be fone of the best that has ever been staged. Queries have been received from growers in many parts of the state regarding the correct way of making their exhibits, and from many other farmers regarding the exhibits that will be placed at the Bhow. The office force of the sec- of the civic and commerce, which is sponsoring the event, has been kept busy working at highest speed to keep up with the influx of mail. 2 satin Spain Has Ignored Non-Catholic Dead Madrid, Spain—(?)—Until quite recently Protestants, Mohemmedans, ., free thinkers, Hebrews, spiritualists * and suicides were, after their death, disdained and neglected by the ma- dority of Spaniards. The civic cemetery, where they were buried in “unconsecrated” ground, was known as the “cattle- pen.” No wreaths were to be found on the graves, and even when rela- tives placed flowers in the ground there was no water pine from which they could be refreshed. Now a society with the name of the Civic Fraternity has been formed undertaken to care for and make and marine iguanas of Galapagos, the giant monitor lizards of Komodo | which resemble monsters of pre-| historic times, giant frogs, sala- manders and strange poisonous snakes peculiar to the western Pa- cific islands, will be sought. Among the mammals, members of | the expedition hope to secure speci- mens of the large ochidna of New na, a spiny-coated anteater which lays eggs like a reptile and nourishes its young with milk sup- plied from udders. Unusual birds to be collected are the flightless cormorant, the gigan- tie cassowary of the Moluccas, birds of paradise, the mound-builders— large birds which lay their eggs in mounds of earth like reptiles—and a wide variety of pheasants. Vessel Specially Built The Illyria, built in Lussinpicco- lo, Italy, after a design created by Henry J. Gielow of New York, is 147 feet long with a 30-foot beam. She is constructed with an all-steel hull and equipped with a 300-horse- power Diesel auxiliary motor. Cap- tain S. B. Boutilier, salty sailor of 30 years experience, will command a crew of 18 men aboard the vessel. When she sails from Boston, the Illyria will have a personnel of scientists and collectors aboard in- cluding Crane, Karl P. Schmidt, as- sistant curator of reptiles at the museum; Dr. Albert W, Herre, cur- ator of the Museum of Zoology of Leland Stanford University; Dr. W. L. Moss of the Harvard Medical School; Chadles R. Peavy of Mobile, Ala.; Sidney N. Heap of Church- stroke, Montgomeryshire, England, and Walter A. Weber, artist. The proposed route will carry the expedition to Bermuda, Port-au- Prince, thence through the Panama Canal to Pearl Islands in the Bay of Panama. The Coast of Asia From there, they will set out into the Pacific to the Cocos and Society Islands, the Cook, Ton- ga, Fiji and Solomon Islands, to Port Moresby, New Guiana, and the Moluccas. After searches in the South Pa- cific, they will swing northwest to Menado, Celebos, British North Borneo, Dutch Islands of Komodo, Lombok, Ball and Java. Singapore, Bankok, Siam, Saigon, French Indo- China, Canton, Formosa, Shanghai and Japan will lead them up the coast of Asia before setting back across the north Pacific for a stop at the Aleutian and Shumagin Is- lands for a northernmost sail into | the harbor of Anchorage, Alaska. The final leg of the voyage will cover the west coast of Canada and the United States and then a sail down to Panama and back up the east coast to close the 30,000-mile voyage at the port of departure, Boston.
