UWO TOWS at Une tlne anu SeiSCJ
seed from those stalks which |
have two we'll developed ears per
stalk, remembering that in the
selection of seed one should Sc
lect from the stalks that will
yield the largest amount of
shelled corn per stalk. The rea
son why it is advised selecting
from two-eared stalks is because
in testing and studying varieties
of corn during the past eight
years, on the Experiment Station
farm and elsewhere, it has been
found that the best yielders OF
shelled corn per stalk, and hence
per acre, were those that aver
aged near two ears per stalk.
Take both of the ears if they are
good ones; rel ject both if not.
TAKE YOUR BOYS WITH YOU.
Do not give much detailed at
tention to the shape of the ears
and grains during field selection,
but reserve this for some rainy
or snowy day during the winter
and have the young boys around
to help, as there is no form of
farm work that will interest
them more or lead them to take
a deeper interest In the work OF
the farm. One reason why 50
many boys leave the farm is be-
cause they are not taught that
there is something more in farm
ing than the mere drudgery con-
nected with it. When going
through the field selecting these
ears it might be we'll to have the
boys along, too, if they are old
euough to appreciate the value
and Importance Of such work.
MAKE AN ABUNDANT SELECTION.
A cart or wagon might be at
one end of the rows and when
you get there each time empty
the basket or bag. Enough corn
should be gathered in this way
so that when the more careful
selection is made during the
winter at the barn, having in
mind the best shape of ears and
kernels, enough will be left for
planting after throwing out the
ears Of poor shape and those
having kernels not up TO the
proper type it is wished to use
for planting. Select from the
field three to five times as much
corn as it is expected TO be
needed, so that very rigid selec-
ton may be made some winter
day.
CHOOSE FROM GOOD STALKS ONLY
Make selections from stalks
that not only bear two well-de.
veioped ears, but those that have
a good leaf development and
large root system. Select ears
that are borne at uniform and
convenient height, for such ears
are easily and cheaply gathered
they ripen more uniformly; and
are less liable not to have the
embryo grains lertilized, as the
tasselling of all stalks will be
practically at the same date and
the pollen from all will be given
of at about the same time. The
ears should be held not upright.
but in a rather dropping posi-
ton. Such ears are less liable
TO rot, as they will shed the rain
rather than admit it into the
ears, as they frequently do when
held in an upright position; es-
pecially is this so if the husks
(shucks) do not cover the tips
OF the ears completely. Also, it
is well to discard all ears that
have the tips poorly covered
