THE BEST SEED CORN.

One Cause OF Poor Quality In Seed Corn
Selecting Seed From the Bin.
That the success or failure OF the
corn crop is every year much more
largely dependent on the seed planted
than ON any other enc factor is affirmed
by The American Cultivator. which ex-
presses the following opinions in regard
to the best seed corn:
Last year was not reckoned good
one for corn over a large part OF the
country. It has been found that in ev-
ery year of general corn failure is apt
to be followed by q second year OF at
least partial failure on account OF the
poor quality of seed corn. which the de-
flcient crop always produces. This ID
more noticeable in the western states,
where the slow maturing Dent varieties
of corn are mostly grown. Dent, or
| horse tooth corn, is slow to dry out, even
when it's seed is matured. It's seed is
| ant to be still quite damp when the
| freezing of winter opens the cells III the
| germ of the grain and diminishes, II II
does not entirely destroy, it's vitality.
The Flint varieties of corn ripen earlier,
and as the grains are also much smaller,
they can dry out thoroughly before
freezing weather sets in.
Where Dent corn is grown in the eas
farmers understand that its large ear
and thick cob take long time to Or!
out so they give it extra care. and thu
corn here with such treatment is as SUR
to grow as any. We grew western
} Dent corn several years in northern
state, and never found season whel
any of it failed to grow.
The best time to cut corn for seed
as soon after all it's grain has glazed
! possible. All that the root will give t
the stalk or grain has then been store
in one or the other. If cut from tn
root, the stalk will furnish the stare

Trees For the Highways.

I would plant it because it is thor

the hickory come close after. OF course
the hard maple should stand in high ia

the sweet cherries and apples grow with
abundant crops along the highway, and
the bulk of the fruit does not always
