The act provided for the establishment through the aid of public land grants of state colleges throughout the country, primarily for the teaching of agriculture and the mechanical arts, though other sub- jects were not excludsd. The bill was Dassed by Congress, vetoed by Presi- dent Buchanan, again introduced and became a law under President Lin- coin, 1862, It was amended and en- larged. 1890, by an act called the sec- ond Morrill ‘act. Q. When and where did medicine originate?—J. A. 8. A. The oldest records of medical matters extant are those of Egypt.

The greatest of the ancient Soaring Corn ; i That the condition of agriculture as a whole is far from hopeless is the opinion of those editors who have watched corn cross the dollar mark and continue to ascend the price scale. The great corn belt in the cen- tral west is certain to recoup some of the losses of the last couple of years, inasmuch as the increased price of America’s own cereal is being fol- lowed by that of hogs and other live| stoek. “Corn is our largest single crop, says the New York Herald, “and this vear the yield will exceed $,000.000,000 bushels. In spite of this enormous yield, corn is selling higher than it was last vear or in 1931, when the crop. was smaller.” It all demon- strates, the Wall Street Journal points out, that “King Corn is again on his | old throne distributing largesse to his peoplé. Translated into'the language | “There is nothing of the steck market, corn for Decam- ! ber delivery shows an adyvance equal to more than 25 points. trades in stocks and bonds open his eyes at this profit. Theére is noth- ing more certain than the law of sup- ply and demand. That law has brought about the advance in corn. There {8 no oversupply this year. The end-of-season surplus of old corn has been gradually diminishing.” ® ok ok * The exact size of this year's crop, the Des Moines Tribune points out, will remain. in doubt “until the husk- ing peg reveals the facts, and until then one guess is as good as another. The fact that the price of corn is stiffening ought to Indicate that the crop will be lighter rather than heavier. They say that it is not in the books for- a fourth bumper crop. ‘Still let us await the vendict of the husking peg befors we concede very much of a drop from the-top-notch figure.” It is the opinlon of the Springfleld, Ill, State Journal that ‘the dffference in the . methods: of marketing corn and wheat must have "something ‘to do with present prices of -these staples. Wheat goes from the field anfl-the thrasher to the ele- vator. Practically all of it is marketed in one short period in the year. The profit on wheat is made by the men who buy it from the groWer and hold it. This year's hafvest of wheat has already left the farmer's possession. Corn_is stored on the fafm in cribs.
