tion of the breeding of seed corn, byl
combining the fertilization of ovaries
to pollen from fruitful plants, is in the
American Agriculturists of December
1867, when N. S Bidwell, of st
Paul, describes the process of castra
ton as practiced in Tennessee.
Whether the corn being disseminated
by Mr.. Blunt of Tennessee, so re-
markable for its prolificacy, Eve have
seen many stalks with eight or nine
fine ears to stalk, and whole arm
full, cut as stated from a limited area,
containing from six TO nine perfect
and fino ears) is the result of this cas-
tration Of intertile stalks, we know
not, but the facts are suggestive. The
next mention we find is by Professor
Beal, in the Scientific Farmer Of April
1877, where the matter is ably dis
cussed, and the claim fairly presented.
Thi~ latter communication, as well as
Darwin's work ON Decentralization
in the Vegetable Kingdom, received
at the same time, called our attention
to this point, and we Immediately put
it in practice. In 1877. we cut out
from our seed field about one halt the
stalks; in 1878. we found it necessary
to cut out only about oue-6ith.
Think of this gain: fifty per cent from
the field planted with this prepared
seed the next year
When this process becomes general
we shall see an immediate and great
improvement in tho crops that we
raise;now. farmers are hampered with
poor seed, and so few farms know
what they want, that they feel salts
fed with what they have. Sure pro
gress IN corn culture must come from
the breeding of the seed: yes, we
mean it, the breeding of the seed
The careful selection Of the ccrn ears
of the type of cob aud kernel that is
desired, and then tho fixing of this
type by usiug males of approved qualN
ity-the same as In breeding AMI
mails.
We are already oyer-stepping our
limits as to space, and hence cannot
90 further into this interesting sub
iect, or state what are the qualities
that are desired in the corn plant. We
will bat say that SOM qualities require
for their fxation twice or thrice three
selections 1t is very desirable that
farmers should think over this matter
of seed, and if the subject is studied,
the student will be surprised at his
own power over the corn plant so long
as he works within the limits set by
natural. Rural Newly Yorker,
