corn that has grown upon the best soil
and under the most favorable circum-
stances. 1t should have been neither
topped nor cut up, and should be gath
cred before the storms and frOsts of
winter have set in. At time of gather
ing every ear that at glance seems to
be a proper ear for seed should be thrown
aside. The most convenient time for
this IL when the corn is being shovsled
into the crib. At the earliest eonven-
lent opportunity, say upon the first
rainy day, the farmer should make a
more careful culling of the corn thus
laid aside.
A little corn will 90 a great way in
planting, and the farmer can well afford
to give close attention to the selection
of this little. 1t has been my practice
to weigh many ears OF my seed corn.
A person will in this way soon acquire
skill that will enable him to approx
mate the weight Of an ear by simply
handling it. The knowledge derived
from the actual use of the scales is often
surprising and valuable. The ear may
be weighed, then shelled and reweighed
and thus the per cent of the loss from
cobs is ascertained. The net product
of shelled corn depends largely upon
the depth of grain; solidity of ear and
size of cob have also something to do
with it. do not like to save for seed
corn ears that weigh much under one
pound. Last year found an ear that
weighed one pound and thirteen ounces.
Another yielded good solid grains
three-quarters Of an inch in length, and
netted eighty-six per cent. of shelled
corn. Last year my seed corn averaged
over one pound gross to the ear; it is
not so good this season on account of
an adverse season. About one-third of
the top-end of each ear should be dis
carded. Those ears only should be Sc
lected which are well-flled out at each
end and are stiff and firm. Corn for
seed should be Shelled and spread out
in a dry airy place. prefer variety
that yields but one ear to the stalk. In
that way am more likely TO have solid
and heavy corn and few nubbns, and
altogether the yield is more satisfactory.
There are 2,722 hills, four feet apart, to
an acre. If can succeed in producing
three ears of corn to the hill that will
weigh one pound to the ear, will then
have 116 bushels of corn, at seventy
pounds to the busheI, and this too, after
allowing for loss of twenty per cent,
from cobs. l am satisfied that much is
lost by planting corn too thick. 1t re-
quires room for nourishment, for air,
and for sunlight. HusSey, IN N T.
