The average production of corn per
acre in the United States is about
% bushels. Twice this quantity
ought to be produced. But how can
this increase be made? Three rules
may be given. l. Improve the quail
ity of seed planted; 2. Improve the
condition of the soil; Improve the
methods of cultivation.
The time of the year has come
for planting. and some farmers have
not yet selected their seed. Those
who have been wise, selected the
seed ears from the standing stalks
at ripening time. For most of us it
is too late to talk about selecting
from the stalk, but we can still
select the ears. The shape of the
kernel is very important.
The ear should be smooth and well
filled out, at each end. The kernels
should be of uniform size and shape,
placed in straight rows extending
from one end to the other. No ears
with parts of rows, or kernels be-
tween the rows should be used. The
kernels should fit tightly together,
both on the sides and edges, with
no open places between the rows.
They should be OF uniform shape and
length in all parts of the ear, slight
ly wedge shape. Ears on which the
kernels do not fit tight must not
be used. This condition may be due
to two reasons, either the kernels
have dried up leaving space be-
tween them, or they are too large
in the center. and at the small end.
The outside end must be the largest

SELECTING SEED CORN.

and it should be full to the very
end. In turning corner with
team, the outside horse must go the
farthest, so on the cob, the outer
end of the kernels must be the
largest. That is If we lay kernel
on the flat side, 1t should appear
wedged shape, being larger at the
outer end. II you lay down ten
kernels with the sides touching each
other, they should make a circle,
or nearly so. Long kernels are more
desirable, and with the long kernels
generally comes smaller cob in
proportion 10 the size of the ear. II
is better to select for increased
length of kernel than to select for
small cob.
The cob should be of a medium
size, light weight and of bright
healthy color. II white II should be
really white. IL red. really red.
All seed corn should be shelled
by hand and the poorly shaped kerr
nels at each end thrown out
This process may be called the
selection of the best ears and kernels,
and though It is not the entire pro-
cess of improving our corn, 1t Will
add greatly to the yield.
II you have not yet planted your
corn, a few hours work in selecting
the seed will be worth many dollars.
II you have planted, watch THE
CITIZEN for a complete description
of the process OF selecting which will
be given about the time corn is
tasseling.

SPRING DISHES.
by Mrs. Jennie l.. Hin.

When the first warm days come,
everyone wants something different
to eat and something green.
Rhubarb or pieplant comes first
on the list in country gardens. To
make the sauce, cook only long enoug
to make it tender, and do not over
sweeten. Never cook rhubarb in iron
or tin as it will spoil the flavor
BAKED RHUBARB:
For a change from the regular
sauce, try baking the rhubarb 1t has
a delicious flavor, but should be
baked in an earthenware dish. A
covered bean pot is just the right
thing to use. Cut the stalks in
inch lengths peeling when the
skin is tough, put in the baking dish
in layers with sugar between. Add
very little water, cover. and bake
until very soft in a slow oven. While
the natural flavor of the rhubarb is
best, a little cinnamon added will
give a variety.

used for greens. After washing and
picking over the leaves, parboil for
ten minutes in boiling water. Drain
