change their seed grain every two or

dy for any failure IN crops. Therefore
| would like to give some of my exper-
fence in the matter. Ny corn was
brought from Rhode-Island. in or near
East Greenwich, over 50 years ago. At
that time it was small-eared, S-rowed
variety, early and hardy. Three gem
erations ofmy family have raised it in
this county without its running out. On
the contrary. by careful selection Of
seed, it has become iarge-eared, often
measuring over one foot in length, hay
ing very large kernels and very small
cob for the size Of the ear. making it the
nicest-looking and the best yielding
corn | ever saw. / have raised over 60
bushels Of shelled corn to the measured
acre. and repeatedly harvested it in 90
to IS days from planting. After test
ing half dozen or more different
varieties, | find none equal to. it for me.
My oats have been in the family gpver
80 years, without change; rye FOR many
years; wheat the same. Potatoes run
out in from - to Is years. BY using
my own seed no fn,,l St,,.T ic h,ourb+
on my land, and | certainly raise a
good, and often better crops than some
| know who are constantly changing
seed. l have sometimes thought I
would send you a sample ear of my
corn to show to those who think crops
deteriorate by continued use, instead of
deteriorating from bad farming or from
being unsuitable to the climate, as they
really do.
