Improving Corn by Selection Of Seed.
n. C. R., Claxton, writes: I would
like to know what you think Of the
value of seed selection for corn.
Answer: There is no doubt but that
the yield of corn can be increased
through judicious selection so as to OBJ
tain a strain that will be more prolific
than many varieties now grown. In
experiments 1 have made I have noted
that where 5000 stalks were planted to
the acre not more than 5000 ears were
sometimes harvested; whereas, in
other plats with an equal number Of
stalks as many as $500 ears were har.
vested. 1t is easy to see, therefore.
that some varieties are more prolific
than others, and as matter Of fact,
there are quite a number Of stalks in
practically all corn fields which are
barren. These stalks are large enough
to produce heavy ear and would Of
ten do if the variety were selected so
as to avoid any sterile stalks. Corn
breeding may be compared in impor-
tance to animal breeding; just as strik-
ing and valuable results can be OBJ.
tanned by giving care to selecting de-
sirable strains Of corn as have resulted
in the systematic effort to develop
trotter Of phenomenal speed in Amer
lea. The analogy in the two instances
is complete and would answer your
question as fully as pages Of facts Of
similar importance.-Professor Soule.
