seed Corn Trom Growing Grnin.

Need Corn FROM Growing Grain.
The experiment station ii Ohio
furnishes valuable information in
bulletin on the selection Of corn for
seed, the selection being made dur
ing the growing OF the plant in the
Geld, which ought to have the care
ful attention of growers of corn
everywhere. Taking Dent corn for
the purpose, 1t is scored as follows:
Vigor OF plants, twenty points; po-
sition OF ear, points; weight OF
ear, SO points; length of ear, five
points; uniformity of plant and ear,
10 points, and shape OF kernel and
size OF germ, ten points. Very i'm
portant is the note which gives the
disqualihcations, as plants growing
under less than normal stand; plants
lying upon the ground or badly brok-
en-; plants diseased; plants maturing
too late or too early. To select the
seed corn from such plants is fatal
to the following crop. The vigor of
the plant is indicated by the circum-
ference of the stalk below the ear;
by its upward growth and by its leaf
development and freedom from dis
ease. The ideal position of the ear
Is such that 1t does not pull too heav-
lily upon the plant. The weight OF
the ear is to be determined by scales
when the ear is thoroughly dry. The
plan of uniformity of plant and ear
is based on the habit of growth and
Vigor of plant as well as size, shape
color and indentation of ear, Corn
