Saving Seed Corn.

AS to the saving of seed corn, bull
letin Of the Department of Agriculture
says: The best plan for saving corn
for seed is to go through the field be-
fore the crop is harvested and gather
the best ears from the best stalks. The
largest yields of grain are usually made
from varieties producing two ears on
each stalk, and IL such a variety is
desired then seed should be saved only
from stalks bearing two ears. II
variety bearing only one ear to each
stalk is preferred the ears selected for
seed should be the largest which can
be found, OF nearly equal diameter
throughout, and well filled at each end.
1t is as important to take seed from
the best stalks as from the best ears.
and whatever variety may be preferred.
every ear which is selected for seed
should be taken from stalk which In
size, habit of growth and number of
ears approaches closely to what ia the
desired form for that variety. In Sc
Letting seed from the crib, as is often
done, nothing can be known of the
character of the stalks upon which
the ears were grown, and little or no
Improvement can be made in a variety
by such selection, while a careful and
1udfcfous selection in the field will
work a constant and gradual improve
ment in the crop and will make it more
nearly uniform with each succeeding
year No one item in the growing of
corn is of greater importance than the
selection of seed. After the seed has
been selected 1t should be thoroughly
dried, treated with bisulphid of carbon
to destroy insects. and then stored
where 1t will be kept dry and secure
from rats and mice

Horticultural Observations.

tFrom the Farmers Review.)
The Dried Fruit Association OF Cal
ifornia is said to be making efforts
to reach the consumers more directly
than has been the case previous to
this time. 1t is apparently trying to
eliminate all the middle men but one.
The consumers will be interested in
knowing IL it means better service.
From some of the canneries come re-
ports to the effect that the market is
constantly demanding better quality in
the canned goods AS a result the by
products of the orchard are not so
much sought after as the main prod
ucts-first-class fruit. Probably the
demand has not as yet greatly affected
the quality that goes into the cans. but
that it will in the future seems GER
tain. The raisers of fruit will then
be compelled to settle all over again
the question of what to do with small
and unstable fruit.

1t may be that Australia and New

OF fruit to the European markets. 1t
Is largely question of how long fruit
can be kept sound. and the Australians
are constantly hunting for new meth
eds of preserving fruits for transit
IL they can find some method that will
keep fruit perfect for seven weeks
they have good chance of getting a
strong hold on the markets desired.
They can then ship fruit in the latter
part OF our winter and have it reach
market in early spring This would
give supply Of fruit to England and
the Continental countries after their
own fruit had disappeared. That the
Australians are likely to succeed is
evidenced by some experiments carried
on recently by the government of Vic
toria. Pears and peaches were boxed
Tor shipment and then exposed for
certain time to the effects of hydro
cyanic acid gas. After that they were
put away and kept seven weeks to
represent shipment. When taken out
OF their boxes at the end of that time
both the peaches and pears were found
to be In perfect state of preservation
We do not know the details of the ex-
pertinent or what the effect was on
the eating quality of the fruit. So far
as we are able to learn the trial was
successful and we are likely to hear
more OF 1t at some future time. How
ever, II 1t does prove a success we are
not forgetful of the fact that hydro
cyanic acid gas can be used by other
people than the Australians.

that the curb would merely be reset and
that without their signatures the owners of
