Of my neighbors have had to
complain bitterly Of their corn

The next most important
thing in saving seed corn is, to
select tho best variety. We
want the largest variety that
will mature well before frost.
Most Of the large varieties will
mature in this latitude (40), and
even further north, if planted
before the 18th Of May. After
the 10Th, it is best to plant less,
and consequently an early va.
rlety.
Some save their seed from
stalks that bear two and three
ears. Certainly there is moth

as you increase the number of
ears, in the same proportion you
diminish their size; and it is cas-
Ter to handle one large ear than
three small ones.

through his corntield, and boast

as high as four ears, but they
were only nubbins, and perhaps,
