THE SELECTION
OF SEED CORN
More Advice from State Expert
Miller on Timely Topic.

Ever tarnrr should be good judge
OF con Many men who are good
judges Of live stock give little thought
to the matter Of judging between the
different ears of corn. 1t would pay
every man who grows his own seed to
give enough attention to the study OF
ears of com that be will be able to Sc
tlect them intelligenfiy.
The more important characters of a
good ear ~ corn may be summarized as
follows: The shape Of the ear should be
as nearly cylindrical as possible; that il,
1t should not taper decidedly. Such
ears give moro uniform size OF kernel
and usually eiVn a greater weight OF
shelled corn To the cob.
The proper size OF an ear of corn is
largely matter Of variety and condi-
tions. For rich Missouri bottoms and
uplaud5, much larger ears should be
selected than tor average lands. In
The Jasper news., 1909-10-28

general an ear OF corn should be around
ten inches 10 length, and about 712 10.
in circumference measured at point "a
the distance from butt to tip. Some
early varieties run considerably under
these measurements and some OF the
rich land varieties, considerably over,
but this is standard. 1t does not usual.
ly pay to select the very largest ears one
can find, as they do not reproduce
themselves uniformly. An ear Of good
size, but not extremely large for the
variety is best.
An ear should be compact in the ar
rangement Of the kernels, With straight
rows aud with just as little lost space
between the kernels as possible. The
butt OF the ear Of corn should be well
rounded out with kernels, evenly srran
ged around cup shaped cavity, about
one inch across 10 medium sized varie-
ties. II the butt is large, the ear will
break off too short in husking. If the
attachment TO the stalk is under half
inch 10 diameter, the ears are apt to
blow off badly. Coarse, irregular kerr
nels at the butt, with spaces between,
are to be avoided.
The tip OF an ear OF corn should be
wel filled ont out evenly to the end OF

An Experiment That Shouts.

A merchant who had two stores 10
small towns tried an experiment. He
put bargain counter 10 each store con-
tanning the same articles at the same
price. In the newspaper OF one village
be advertised his 9 pecial sale, counters
In one month in the village where be
did not advertise he sold 1884 worth OF
goods. In the store be did advertise
he sold goods amounting to 1921. In
commenting on the result of the expert.
ment, the merchant says: People who
got the paper with the advertisement
would pass by one of the stores and
drive for miles to the other one, for
what they could have gotten at the
same price in my store ut their door,
hut they did not know it was there'-

of the cob, with deep regular kernels
and il possible, healed over. Ordinarily
however,a perfectly covered tip,means a
short ear and il too much attention is
given to the covering OF the tips 10 Sc
Iecting corn, there is tendency to
cause the ear to grow too short.
The size OF the depth OF the kernel
should be medium. Too large q cob is
wasteful, while very small cob is u.s.
ualy found in varieties OF rather small
size. Such cobs usually btar deep ker
nels and both the depth of kernel and
size of cob may be over done. The cob
bears the same relation to the produc-
ton OF corn, as does bone in tho beef
animal; it may he too fine, or too coarse.
Very deep kernels usually have poor
germs; they shell off badly and are apt
to be loose on the cob. A medium deep
kernel on medium sized cob seems to
give better results 10 the experiments
thus far conducted.
The germ, or heart, OF kernel Of
corn should be large smooth and. fresh
in appearance. When broken open, it
should show a fresh oily character, not
die coored. Good germs in an ear Of
corn, are exceedingly important.

SCIENCE AND NATURE.
A Great Scientists Theory and its sf Dramatic Realization.

4 Great Scientists Theory and its Dramatic Realization. No one can set down laws for earth quakes. It was just about three years ago that the writer was in Martinique when that island was in a state of constant quiver from seismic disturb
 ances. The late Angelo Heilprin, pro lessor of geology at Yale and one of the most distinguished scientists of the age. had come to Martinique for the purpose of looking Into It's earth Quakes and volcanoes. He explained this theory, very interesting one that the earthquakes were due to a gradual subsistence of the sea bed of the Caribbean.
 My home was in Brooklyn asked. somewhat nervously. as to whether he
 thought that city would ever be sub
 tected to similar disturbances. T will answer that" said the care ful professor, "by relating bit of
 history. The late Sir William Daw-
 son was addressing the British Asso-
 citation For the Advancement of
 Science, and the subject of his address
 was the stability of the Atlantic coast
 of the North American continent and
 the scientific reasons there were for
 believing that no great seismic move
 ment could take place In that region. "While in the middle of his address
 a cablegram was handed to him. one announcing that the city of Charles ton. s. C.. had been destroyed by an earthquake.
 There was a moments pause while Sir William read the message which
 had so directly refuted his iabored ar
 gument. Then. rising to the occasion. ! he read 1t to the audience and, folding 1t up, said that, while his address had
 dealt with the theoretical side of
 science. this message which he had just received was one which had to do
 with the practical side of nature."- New York Times.
