In obtaining seed corn from places

cure 1t In the ear, because in this
form 1t can be picked over. Judged
and all ears that are not suited for
planting may be thrown aside, while
II 1t is shelled no such selection can
be made.
The selection Of seed corn by the
farmer from his own crop Is generally
accomplished in one Of three ways:
First, by picking out the seed after
the corn has been cribbed: second. by
selecting the best ears while gather
ing. and third. by going into the field
before harvesting time and selecting
the most desirable ears. OF these
three ways my experience has shown
the last to be the best. because a bet
ter selection can be made when that
is the only aim in view and when the
entire plant, and not simply the ear.
can be considered. Whatever the
method. more seed than is really need
ed should be selected. in order that

est ears just before planting may still
leave enough good seed.
another method for obtaining the best
seed corn-namely, to grow 1t in a
special plot of ground. We used the
following method: Take any number
Of selected ears-say SO. for example
and plant them in 80 separate
parallel rows. one ear to the row.
This makes It necessary for the plot
Of ground to be at least 80 corn rows
wide. and It should be long enough for
the planting OF about two-thirds Of IN
ear in each row. II possible. this
ground should be a. far removed from

and use It to plant border around

All the seemingly good ears from
good stalks. in good position on the
stalk, should be gathered from the de-
tasseled rows. Out OF all these ears
first pick out the best ones for next
years breeding plot. From that re-
manning the best ears can be selected
for next seasons seed corn for the
main crop.
In regard to the type Of ear to Sc
lect for seed the following points are
essential: The main object in view Is
the production Of as large a quantity
Of grain to the ear as possible: the
ear should be cylindrical in shape.
about ten inches In length and ~
inches in circumference. Both ends
should be well filled out with large
kernels. The rows Of kernels. as we'll
as the kernels themselves, should be
closely pressed together. in order that
the ear will be compact and solid.
Each ear can be readily tested for
weight by weighing the entire ear
first and then the shelled corn OBJ
tained from II. The grain should con-
stitute from s5 to 30 per cent. Of the
whole ear. The kernels should be as
nearly uniform in size as possible. to
insure a good. even stand; they should
be wedged shaped.
Tho vitality Of the corn should al
ways ways be tested. Improper dry
ing and storing away Of seed corn
very often lowers the vitality OF the
seed, but II It is thoroughly cured and
kept dry no injury is likely to take
place. We have found II a very salts

we'll covered. In the spring, before
planting time. every ear should be
tested. especially when there is any
doubt as to its vitality. We have box
fixed for this purpose: 1t is four feet
long by three feet wide by six inches
deep. We have bored holes through
the sides two inches from the bottom
and az inches apart; through these
holes we have stretched fine wire.
both lengthways and crossways. thus
dividing the box into 2h-inch squares.
At one end these rows Of squares are
numbered: along one side the squares
in each row are numbered. When
ready to test the corn. we get enough
moist. rich dirt to fill the box up even
with the wire: next we number the
ears to be tested. For example, tho
first car is marked ear one, row one;
the pext, ear two. row one. When We
have enough for the first row. the
first ear in the second row Is marked
ear one. row two. and 30 on. When
tie ears are all numbered. take four
or I've grains from different parts OF
each ear and plant them In the square
with the corresponding number. In
this box we can test about 275 ears at
one time. OF course. the box can be
larger or smaller. as the case may de-
mand.
