rivalry is certainly pardOnable.

The above rules for cotton apply tO
corn.
l. Fix some standard qualities of
corn aud type of ear you prefer, then
select to secure these.
If a white corn, with average ear,
it should be about eight inches long
with medium cob, long, deep and uni
form kernels, which cover the ends of
the c0bS well, huSk closely, adhering
to the corn at the tip. The kernels
should show a nitrogen content above
the average. In the above case the
seed corn should be selected from a
stalk that has two early matured ears
SO as to promote a tendency to pro-
duce two ears ard early maturity.
2. If the large ear type is prefer
red, it is better to select the seed corn
from stalks bearing one ear only, but
of the desired type. In general char
acteriSticS it should correspond to case
one, except with larger and longer
ear.
3. All barren or non producing
stalks should have been detasselled,
and all ears blighted or blasted by
smut should have been removed from
the field where seed corn is to be Sc
lected. Avoid selecting seed ears near
blighted ears or even good ears where
most of the surrounding ears are nub-
bins.
4. Store in dry place, and never
when wet or not thoroughly cured.

That like produces like, is a law OF
plant life to be observed in all details.
1St. From your best field of cotton
select the best portion, and in this
choice division, mark the most .vigor.
Gus and productive plants, showing
short joints and fruit limbs near the
bottom. The entire plant should be
an exceptional fruit producer. Seed
should be selected from these marked
cotton stalks, but the top bolls and
the bOllS on the ends Of the limbs
should not go into the lot for seed;
they tend to make the cotton later.
The bOllS selected for seed should be
picked by special field hands, sent in
advance of the regular pickers. This
seed cotton must be stored in a dry
place and watched to avoid mixing.
Special care must be taken at the
gin, that the gin and floor are free
from all other cotton seed before GIN
ming. Store this seed in dry place.
Where greater length of staple is
desired, select for seed such bOlls only
as show the longest staple. By care
ful selection most any desired quail
ties, or characteristics, can ultimately
be secured
