Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Report on the Use of Maize (Indian Corn) In Europe and on the Possibilities of Its Extension, 1891
In publishing for general information the following report of Special Agent C. J. Murphy, to whom I intrusted the duty of introducing American corn to the attention of the people of Europe as a human food, I have thought well, for the information of those interested, to supplement it with an article prepared by Dr. H. W. Wiley, Chief Chemist of this Department, on the food value and chemical composi tion of corn. I have also caused to be prepared in the Statistical Divi sion an article upon the extension of foreign trade in Indian corn, of a general character, for which the records of that division afford Special facilities, to which are appended various statistical tables which will enable the reader to form a just estimate of the extent and availability of our resources in the production of this important cereal.
