There Is a difference OF opinion as
TO whether corn for seed should be Sc
lected from stalks bearing two ears,
and whether 1t Is possible by selecting
such ears to secure increased yields in
future crops. The writer is inclined
to the opinion that increased yields
are procured by the judicious selec-
ton of seed from stalks bearing two
ears.
The ideal ear of corn should be
cylindrical rather than tapering In
shape; the ear should be about nine
inches long and seven inches in cir
conference, but the smaller breeds
will fall somewhat short of these d.
mensons The kernels should be
deep and slightly spaced between rows,
and should be well filled at butt and
tip.
Depth of kernel is indicated not only
by the weight of the ear but also by

Writer Objects to Custom Of Accusing
Children Early.

DIR. Woods Hutchinson, writing of
Sleep in the American Magazine, crlti.
cizes boarding schools sharply for get
ting young people up too early In the
morning. He says: "A baby or young
child should have absolutely every
minute OF sleep that 1t can be induced
to take, and sleeplessness Is even
more emphatically sign of disease In
children than in adults. The necessity
and capacity for large amounts of re-
freshing sleep persists up to adult life
and the amount required seldom falls
below ten hours before the eighteenth
or twentieth year. To make children
or rapidly growing young adults get
up before they have had their sleep
out, and feel thoroughly rested, is not
merely irrational but cruel, and when

boarding schools, or other institutions.

seed for the following year is selected

There Is no better method from the
