Selection of Ears.

Selection Of Ears.
In starting out to improve strain
Of corn there are two main points to
be considered-yield and quality. The
quality can be determined readily by
inspecting the ears. In examining the
ears the following five points are to
be looked for: Q) General appearance.
be and still be sure to get ripe every
year. 1t should be straight, symmet-
rical and not taper too abruptly. The
butts and tips should be fairly well
filed. though other more important
points should not be sacrificed for this.
(2) Trueness to type. Every establish
ed breed Of corn has its peculiarities of
shape. color. ETC.. that must be consid.
cred. The general type of the breed
should be adhered to closely, as uni
formity Is an indication Of breeding.
81 Maturity. No ear should be used
for seed that is not sound and well
matured. Soft, chaffy. starchy ker.
nels or those shrunken at the tip. with
char adhering to them. are indications
Of immaturity. Deep kernels go with

age. A high percentage of corn to cob
is desirable. but should be secured by
compact, fairly deep kernels rather
than by an abnormally small cob.
Increasing the Yield.
While quality is important. yield is
even more so. This is not so easily
determined, actual field tests being re-
quired. Before starting these tests
the breed of corn to be grown should
be selected. 1t pays to begin work
with the best corn obtainable, as you
are thus starting where some one else
has left OFF. A breed of corn that has
proved itself adapted to your locality
is the best to select.
There are almost as many methods
Of breeding seed corn as there are corn
breeders. Many of these are too COM
plicated to be adapted to the farmer
who is just starting In as a corn
breeder, After a few years expert
ence with simpler method, some OF
the plans for keeping a record OF each
ear from year to year and producing
"pedigreed" seed corn may be en-
ployed.
