Raising Seed Corn.

Raising Seed Corn
The best way Of raising corn for
seed, as followed In the West, says G..
w. Morrill, in Trl-State Farmer, Is to
prepare a seed bed or testing ground
Of from one to two acres far removed
from other fields. To begin with, no
ear should be used which is imperfect
from which to select grains for the
seed crop, selecting such type Of corr
that you wish to grow, the work of
selection should be followed year after
year, selecting the best ears that shoT
an improvement over previous years.
ANY plant that Is deficient in any re-
Qulrement should not be allowed to de.
Velop a tassel, and especially a barren
stalk.
AS to corn feeding, the seed plots
Ehould not suffer for want Of plant
food. From field experiments with fer.
ullzers on corn In the West last year,
on soils of average fertility, a higher
per cent of potash than ordinary fer.
nlizer contains gave remarkable re.
suits and would undoubtedly give sim
Alar results on the average lands of
Georgia. In Georgia last year were
used more fertilizers with corn than
was ever used In years before, and with
proper fertilizers and more attention
20 the selection Of seed, and intensive
culture, there is no doubt or reason
why the average yield Of well-bred corn
should not be increased In the South
and especially Georgia.

Of using them will be welcomed. A

Many growers must be reminded OF
the Importance of getting fruit to stor.
age as promptly as possible after pick.
ing. The United States Department OF
agriculture has demonstrated that
ruit deterlorates more In a few DAYS

Pnd the time 1t reaches storage than II
does In as many months Of storage at
q low temperature.
1t was formerly thought necessary
to put apples in piles in the orchard.
TO sweat" but this has been shown
70 have been mistake. Don't do this ;
but, on the contrary, send your apples
e storage at once, in refrigerator cars,
Il the weather is warm and the dis
lance Is great Many Of the best ap-
pie handlers want their fruit in storage
before night Of the day 1t is picked, il
et all possible, and there is no doubt
that they are right In regard to this
