SEED CORN Its HARVESTING
AND STORING
Careful Selection Yield Next Year
BY G.. Christie. B. S. Al Indiana Experiment Station

plant. The Stalk should also stand
erect and be free from smut or in
sect attack. Stalks with suckers are
Objectionable Always select ears OF
good size and quality, which have
straight rows Of regular sized kernels
and which most nearly represent the
type desired. These ears should be
at a convenient height of four and
one-half to five feet on the stalks and
should be attached to the stalk by a
shank medium in length and strength.
The ear when matured should break
over and hang with the tip downward.
Ears in an upright position are OBJ
jectionable owing to the fact that they
are more or less subjected to the rains
and hot sun, which injuries the vital
ity. Experiments carried on at the
Illinois station show that seed from
ears high on the stalk and in an up
right position yielded almost ten bush
els less corn per acre than did seed
from ears hanging in the natural po-
sition. Experiments also proved that
the ears growing high on the stalk
and in an upright position, when plant
ed, gave stalks a very high per cent.
of which bore ears in similar man
ner.
For the reasons that ears so located
are inconvenient to harvest, have low
vitality and low producing power, they
should never be selected for seed.
Perhaps there is no way IN which
corn is injured more than through inn
proper storing. Corn as It comes from
the field contains a high per cent. OF
moisture, and If subjected to a high
or low temperature will be materially
injured. Too many people overlook
this fact, and the result is that we
have large quantities of seed corn
with low vitality.

fore the best time to gather seed corn
is when it is thoroughly matured and
before the heavy frosts.
A plan to be recommended and a
feasible one is that Of going through

the corn has matured and before the

seed from the stalk. The plan Of Sc

BRITISH PEER AS WALL STREET BROKER

"A. X. Fairfax. New York" was the mark on
lot Of baggage which arrived In New York by
steamer from Liverpool. yet the owner is direct
descendent OF one OF the most famous houses OF
the British peerage, being none other than the
Rt Hon. Albert Lord Fairfax, twelfth of the line
OF Fairfax.
The life history OF Lord Fairfax is most
romantic. The house dates back TO 1927, the
founder being the great Fairfax who was one Of
the few mobiles who sided with Cromwell, and
who held chief command az Marston Moor. His
son was generalin-chief OF the parliamentary
forces and gained the great victory at Naseby.
When the king came to his own the Fairfax OF
that day deemed II best TO come to America. and
about 1899 settled In Virginia. where he bought
a tract OF land comprising some 100000 acres,

vest 1t is necessary to store it in a
dry, well ventilated place and in such
a way that each ear will be exposed
to free circulation Of air. Seed corn
should always be stored in the ear,
but never in barrels, boxes or sacks,
or above large quantities Of grain.
A satisfactory method and one
adopted by many farmers is to tie
eight or ten ears in string with
binding twine. and hang them in an
open shed where the sun will not
shine on them, but where the air can
circulate freely about them. Another
plan is to tie the ears together in
pairs and hang them over wire. By
