Nubblns or "Pis Corn for Seed.

While husking corn a few years ago
l came across an ear that was imper-
fectly polenated, and had upon 1t a
few kernels on the cob and no two
touching each other. They were very
large and resembled the outside chest
nuts in a burr. 1t occurred to me that
If those kernels were planted they
would make very strong plants. l
saved the ear and the next spring l
planted the kernels, and when they
came up their broad, dark green leaves
surprised me. The plants were very
strong and produced more corn than
the same number of any other plants
in the field. In saving seed where ear
illness is desired, l am of the. opinion
that 1t is better to select from that
which natures the latest. rather than
from that which natures the earliest;
my experiments with the tomato also
indicate that.-N. B. White, in the Am
