SELECTING SEED CORN.
IL should lie Done ns soon AS the Grain
lis Hardened.

In many localities the hot, dry
weather we had in July and the carly
part OF August affected the quantity
and yield of the corn to such an extent
that IL will be an item next spring TO
secure good seed corn. The safest and
best plan is TO lay in the needed supply
this fail and store it away where il viii
keep in good condition.
The best time 10 select the seed corn
is i'm the fall as soon as the grain is
well hardened. In addition 10 making
sure of a good supply, selecting IN the
field i'm the fall affords a better oppor-
tuuity for making the best selection, as
the stalk as well as the ear can be
considered, which. OF course, cannot
be done after the corn is cribbed.
When the conditions Of growth will
admit the best seed corn is that which
is selected from what is grown ON the
\ farm. provided, of course, that proper
care is taken in the selection.
When the first selection Is made il
/ Is always best 20 select rather larger
quantity than will be needed. This
gives an opportunity OF making n Sec
ond selection. One item In selecting the
ears is 10 choose those that are well
filled both at the tip and at the butt.
The grain should be sound and deep.
While il Is difficult TO secure a very
large ear without fairly good-sized
cob. yet getting ears with deep grains
will make a considerable difference in
the size OF the cob. So far as can be
done the ears should be uniform in
color, shape, OF grain and time Of ma.
turity.
After sufficient quantity Is secured
Il should be thoroughly dried, and ther
stored where IL will keep dry and b,
safe from vermin. One Of the most
serious objections 20 taking seed corr
from n crib In the spring is the risk
that lis vitality may have been injured
by It's being damp when thrown int,
the crib or while standing IN the fielC
and then being frozen. Exposure I,
cold does not injure the vitality wher
the grain is thoroughly dry, but n damn

Wells are often dug In deprcssions, the
idea being that in such places springs
