Increasing Missouri Corn Yields.

Recent Investigations at the Mis-
souri, Experiment Station indicate
that the average corn yields in
Missouri may be increased ten
bushels per acre by inexpensive
methods. The information on
how to accomplish these results is
contained in circular Number 19,
by w. F. Miller, a copy of which
can be had by addressing the Dir
ector of the Experiment Station,
Columbia, Missouri.
The most common cause of low
corn yields is the poor stand of
corn. A poor stand of corn is
usually the result of planting seed
that will not grow or distributing
the corn unevenly in the hills.
The Experiment Station has care
fully investigated seed corn taken
during February, 1905, from the
cribs of Missouri corn growers
and the result shows that only 63
per cent of such corn will grow.
To get good stand at least IS per
cent should grow vigorously.
The above indicates that seed
corn can not be safely selected
from the crib, but should be care
fully selected from the field as fol-
low: Select from desirable stalks
only those ears which show desir-
able characteristics. Place the
ears at once in small piles Or in
shallow layers in some dry room
or crib where they will become
thoroughly dry before hard freez-
ing weather. Corn must not be
allowed to freeze before it is thor
oughIy dry. Corn stored in large
heaps or in tight boxes before be-
ing thoroughly dried tends to heat
and injure the vitality. Dry corn
quickly and keep it dry that the
vitality may be preserved.
Plant good varities of corn. On
the Experiment Station fields some
ears of the Boone county white
variety yielded at the rate of forty
FIVE bushels per acre; other ears
on the same soil, treated in the
same way yielded ninety bushels
per acre. Pure bred seed corn is
much more productive than ordi.
nary sorts.
Whatever the variety of corn 6
farmer may grow he will always
profit by a very careful selection
of seed. He should practice {
system of corn breeding; that is.
he should always grow his seee
corn in part of the field or in {
plot by itself. This plot should
be planted with the most perfect
ears obtainable and seed corn fol
the next year always selected from
} this area. He will, in this way
improve his corn, Doth in yielc
and quantity, and he will find i
} pays handsomely for the time ant
trouble necessary.
This valuable bulletin describing
} the best methods of increasing corr
yields in Missouri may be hat
free by addressing the Director o
the Experiment Station, Columbi

Horse racing seems to be down

breeders who think they cannot
raise fine horses without gambling
should devote little attention to
breeding draft and driving horses
and see how that will work out.
A race hore is of no earthly use
except as a medium for gambling.
