Selecting Seed Corn.

The true selection Of better breed
Of corn is not confined to the selection
Of the best ears by any means, al
though this Is the popular idea of corn
improvement. AS every corn raiser
knows, certain seed will raise corn
that is almost ideal so far as the ear
goes. but there are but few ears ON
plant.
This being the case. it Is evident
that the true selection Of corn Is the
selection Of the plants which show the
desired chara cteristics all through their
growth up to the time of harvest, so
that the plants should be closely
watched from the time they break
ground and thus securing the habit Of
growth as we'll as the perfection Of ca
so desirab BILE.
Many Of the plants will make
stronger growth than others and ripen
the full crop earlier: il such a plant
Is what is desired. 1t can only be found
by watching its growth through the
season. Then II the yield Is all that
is desired one comes pretty near hav.
ing the Ideal plant and one which Is.
probably. capable Of even greater i'm
provement.

Rene ewing Stra w berry Beds.

Renewing Strawberry Beds.
without doubt the digging OF new
plants and setting them regularly in
the place they are to grow Is the best
way OF obtaining the new straw berry
bed. True. this requires considera bic
labor and the selection Of the best run
ners from the old bed. II this plan Is
to be followed the best plants will be
obtained by going over the old bed
as the runners are forming and keep
ing the tips cut OF to one or more
plants. so as to obtain strong plants
for setting. Another advantage Of
this plan Is that just the number Of
plants that may be set in given pc
Rod are dug. so that none are left TO
dry out as with plants bought.
The other plan OF making the new
bearing plantation is good one, and
quite generally followed. especially
where the berries are grown on the
matter row plan. The mower Is run
over the field after the crop Is gathered
and. after raking off the cut plants. a
light pillow is run through the field and

cut out. leaving the new ones, which
will be about foot apart, composed
OF the new plants. Care Is required
In this work. but the results will be
profitable, provided the new plants
formed are strong.

Kansas grows more and better wheat
