How TO Improve the Virginia
Corn Crop


The following bulletin for Virginia
farmers is sent out by Dir. Andrew M.
soule, director Of the Virginia Station
at Blacksburg:
That corn can be grown
prontably in Virginia Is shown by the
fact that the value Of the crop per
acre is $11.55, whereas, in Illinois, for
much larger yield it is only $ll.59.
Therefore, by increasing the yield
through systematic cultivation and
fertilization, there is a decided profit
in sight for our farmers. The selection
OF q variety and its adaptation to the
soil and climatic conditions In which
it is to bs grown will influence the yield
of corn decidedly. Ten varieties grown
for three years showed some OF these
remarkable differences. The height
varied from 90 to 115 inches; the yield
OF green stover from $3.50 to 9.99 tons;
the yield from 1896 to 1889 bushels;
the per cent of cob from 1900 to 25.07i
and the weight per bushel from 64.4S
to 74.75 bushels. Selecting the right
variety Is therefore matter of great
Importance. A mechanical selection
OF ten bushels OF Leaning corn showed
that only one half OF the ears shelled
out 50 80 per cent, yet this variety had
been grown with more or less care for
several years.
Some Of the thoroughbred ear sown
on the experimental plats the past
season shelled out 81 to 90 per ce Mt.
The selection OF an ear showing a high
per cent OF grain and a small per cent
of cob is thus matter OF vital concern
In the improvement OF coin. The best
type of ear to use is one weighing
from IL to 16 ounces, having from 10
to "a rows Of grain and uniform In
size from the but to tip, II great pro-
Efficacy is desired select smaller type
of ear and choose this seed grain only
from those stalks containing two ears.
One hundred grains were selected from
i6 samples OF corn ard weighed with
the following results; The lightest
weighed 90 grams, OF less than one
ounce; the heaviest 90 grams or almost
2 ounces. The variation in termination
was represented by SO and 100 per
cent. Here again the question OF In
divldual selection for type, shape,
weight and terminating power comes
In for consideration.
The permanent improvement OF
corn depends, first on the careful
preparation and fertilization OF the
soil, second, on the selection OF
suitable variety, third on the sys-
tematic improvement of this variety
with regard to shape and type OF
ear. the size, height and character OF
the stalk and leaf and the shape,
quality and condition Of the grain.
Any farmer by making careful
selection from the best individual
plants in his 6eld ir9p year to year
can secure q uniform type OF oar
, which will she'll out higher per cent
! OF grain, show flintIer type OF kernel
, and possessed Of desirable type Of
stalk neither too large nor too small.
, By attention to those points the yield
q of corn on Virginia farms can be In
q creased from to 10 bushels per acre
= Surely this is a reward worth striving

We THINK for ourselves, ACT for our

We are absolutely SELF RELIANT, a
national trait that renders US indepeA-
