SAVE SEED CORN NOW
Early FroSts Makes Early
Varieties a Necessity to
Insure the Crop

THIS 10 the proper time to select
seed cora and not wait until husklng
time, says the Fairmont Sentinel BY
selecting for seed the first good ears to
ripen for u number of yeare, q variety
can be made to rlpen week or ten
days earlier. Whereas, If the seed is
selected at the time of husking the
tendency is to select the largest ears
which are opt to be tho last to ripen
and BY this method evolution will be
started backward and the corn will
gradually require more time to
mature.
Prof. Bowman, the great Iowa corn
expert, in his lecture aud talks in
Fairmont tried to impress upon his
hearers the desirability of selecting
seed corn before hard frosts came. A
day spent in tho work might mean tho
saving of an entire corn crop.
The Wells Forum of this week has
an article proving what early selection
of aeed will do. It has q few sample
ears of corn from Mrs. John Halls
farm northeast of town. 1t is from
the large southern white dent and the
largest ear is filled over IL inches
This corn was brought here eevcn
years ago and for several years it
was hard to get much of the crop
thoroughly ripe: Last year however
the cop was all hard corn. The year
before none had good corn so that
was no test. This year the cora was
out of danger from the frost as early
as Sunday when this was picked but
of course would better for two weeks
of good weather The great size OF
the corn and the ealliness just
emphasizes the point made many
times that this country should supply
its own seed corn. It il a waste of
time to plant southern grown corn
unless ore wishes to get the variety
especially and then it takes from four
to seven years to get full we'll
ripened crop. This is the season to
gather seed cora for nov the earlier
ears may be picked out. Our short
season when growing the semi
tropical CROPS makes it necessary to
use seed of early maturing varieties
and fortunately, corn is a crop that
will lend itself to seed selection IN
this way In particular.
