SELECTING SEED CORN.
Carefully Choose Ears That Nearest
Approach Perfection.

Carefully Choose Ears That Nearest
Approach Perfection.
The ideal ear of corn Is not the one
of greatest length or diameter, but is
described as being about ten inches
long. with grains deep and wedge
shaped. set in twenty-four rows as
straight and uniform as soldiers on
parade and as thick at the tip as at
the butt" The ears of this character
that are exhibited ut corn shows are,
it Is claimed, the result Of years Of
careful breeding and scientific cultiva-
ton.
Yet. having these characteristics in
mind, ears approximately perfect are
to be found in every we'll cultivated
cornfield, and these should be carefully
selected and stored for seed, from
which, year by year, the standard of
quality may be raised and the yield per
acre increased.
Until very recently but little atten-
ton was given to the selection Of corn
for planting. 1t was thought that If the
germ was vital the plant would pro-
duce as well from misshapen seed as
from one that was entirely symmetri-
cal and from an ear ON which the rows
were crooked aud the kernels some
what scattered as from those that were
straight and close set. Careful study
has ascertained. however, that these
minor characteristics are as readily In
herited as the more important ones Of
the proper proportion Of grain to cob
and of gluten to starch and protein In
the kernels.
Uniformity in size of ear and In set
Of kernels, in weight, length and diam
eter of ear is desirable not only for
their intrinsic value, but because where
machinery is used for husking and
shelIing the latter can be most easily
and satisfactorily employed upon grain

ters.- Farm Progress.
