SEED CORN
The SLOGAN
September 10th Designated
as the Day to Select
Seed for 1910.
SUPERINTENDENT CHAMBERLAIN WRITES LETTER
Calls Attention to the ACCESSIBILITY of
Selecting Good Corn and Asks
Farmers to Cooperate.

September 10th has been denomin.
ated as Seed Corn Day" and farmers
are urged to make selections of seed
at that time, picking only the ears
believed to be of early variety. A. E.
Chamberlain of Bookings, state SUI
perintendent of farmers Institutes,
makes the following reference to the
requirements of the day.
"We have the best season for ma
turing corn early that we have had
for several years. Corn will be ripe
September 10th this year, that some
seasons would not get ripe till the
Goth or 25th.
Corn that is not ripe September
10th this year should not be planted
in this state. The first question that
we should always ask of an ear of
seed corn is Will you procure corn
that will FULLY mature?' The next
is, Will you grow?'
ut is really more important that
we should gather seed corn early a
season such as we have had, than a
more unfavorable season. Farmers
naturally select the largest ears for
seed. Generally speaking they are
the largest in the field because the
last to get ripe-they grow longer II
this is continued for a series of years,
the corn gradually gets to. maturing
later.
august 2Sth this year we had
traces Of frost in some parts of the
state. The writer has twice within
ten years seen the corn at Yankton
killed by frost before September 10th.
1--WE should always plant seed corn
shat will On ordinary season. produce
corn that will be out of the way of
frost by that time.
"The only seed that will do this is
the ears that are ripe by that time or
before, season such as we have just
had.
Let us gather all the corn we can
Friday, September 10th, and Satur-
day, the 18th, this year.
SELECTION.
Select the ears that have produced
the most corn that is ripe. The type
varies with different varieties, but
generally speaking, these will be found
to be ears varying in length from not
to exceed seven inches in the north
and in the higher attitudes to nine
inches in the south, and carrying
their size to well to the tip of the ear.
AS a rule the pointed ear has very
shallow kernels near the tip. Get
ears with the tips and butts as well
covered as you can.
Select ears from good strong stalks,
and that grew about the height from
the ground that you prefer. The ears
that drop over to be preferred to those
that stick up straight.
CARE OF THE SEED.
Don't pick more than you can
hang up. Care it must have. The
best way we have seen to care for it
is to stretch some wires in the top of
the crib, or machine shed, any place
where there is plenty Of dry air, and
a good roof. These must be stretched
tight. Then take a piece of strong

feet long and tie the ends together.
Slip the hands through and straighten
out like you used to hold yarn to be
wound"

NEW YORK, October 23.-With

Within a narrow reef, which skirts
one side of the island, the water by
test registered 2l0 degrees Fahrenheit.
Clouds of smoke and steam arose from
small assures and within the lake a
small spot of land reflected a translu-
cent glow as though an active volcano
existed a short distance beneath. AT
many points on the island the earth
was so hot that the visitors We're I'M
able to stand upon it. Gulls' eggs
were boiled in a pool
The officers on the cutter also OBJ
served 4 disturbance of the earth on
