Making Money

VI. Seed Corn Breeding
By G. v. GREGORY.
AMhOT of Home Course IN Modern

Copyright 1908. by American Press

RN the preceding articles improved
methods of growing a few Of the
most widely grown farm crops
have been given. By study and
careful attention to details 1t is pos
sible for a farmer to make a good
profit raising common produce for the
general market Much greater re-
turns, however, may be obtained by
specializing in some particular line
and selling the products on a special
market.
One Of the most profitable special
lines that can be followed is breeding
improved seed corn. This is some
Milford chronicle., 1909-07-30
Comparing the Yields.

AS soon as the corn is all ripe the
ears from the twenty-five detasseled
rows should be husked. keeping the
produce of each row separate. The
/ corn from the tasseled rows, as well as
from the imperfect rows that were de
tasseled and from the border rows,
! should be discarded. At the time Of
! husking the detasseled corn any pc
/ culiarity of the stalks IN a row should
| be noted. The number Of stalks In each
row should also be counted. The
weight Of the corn from row divided
/ by the number Of stalks In that row
will give the weight per stalk, which
is the proper basis for comparison. 1t
will be found that there is a very great
difference In yielding ability. some
rows yielding twice or three times as
much as others. This yield, togeth-
er with the number Of good seed
ears to the row. forms the basis for
determining from which row to select
ears to plant next years breeding plot.
The rest Of the ears worth saving
should be stored away to plant In the
increase field.
The increase field is not for the pur-
pose Of improving the corn, but merely
to secure larger quantities Of that
which has been improved in the breed
ing plot Each year seed from the
highest quality and best yielding of
the individual rows is saved to plant
the next years breeding plot and the
remainder used in the increase field.
In this way the standard keeps i'm
proving from year to year. Ten bush
els to the acre increase is by no means
the limit to which the improvement
can be carried. Indeed, almost the
only limit is the care and time be-
slowed upon the breeding plot
The Seed Corn House.
Where several hundred bushels Of |
corn are to be saved for seed, as is |
the case where a speciality Is being |
made Of well bred seed corn, It is nee
essary to have some sort Of special |
seed corn house. This may be filed |
with Slated racks, on which the corn /
is laid, or the ears may be hung from
the ceiling with binder twine. The
latter is the better method, as It per
mits a more thorough circulation Of
air around the corn. The use Of two

better to drill the corn in the breed
ing plot since it is too narrow to cul-
tivate to advantage crosswise. Two
or three border rows should be planted
around the edges Of the plot.
Care Of the Breeding Plot.
The breeding plot should not be fer
tilized any better than any Of the 9TH
er fields on the farm, and the prepara-
ton of the seed bed and cultivation
should be the same. The prime OBJ
ject is to develop a strain of corn that
will yield well under average field con
ditions. The extra work that is put on
the breeding plot should be applied to
the corn itself and not to the soil
About the time cultivation ceases all
suckers should be cut Off. This can be-
quickly done with a straight bladed
corn knife. These suckers take nour
ishment needed by the good stalks
and produce inferior pollen to fertilize
the silks.
The most important part OF the work
is detasseling. When the tassels begin
to appear 90 through the plot and
carefully pull them out from every
other row. This should be done every
day for a week or mOre-as long as
tassels continue to appear, At the
same time any imperfect stalks in the
other rows should be detasseled. If
there are any rows that show a mark
ed tendency to sucker, carry the ears
too high or low or have any other
marked defect. they should be detas-
seled also.

Mines and Mining Stocks
COLUMBUS HAS TWO
NEW FACES OF ORE
Drift on 400 Due to Break Into
a Big Body in a Few
Days.

News Of new strike on the 400 level
OF the Columbus Consolidated company
mine was brought from Alta yesterday by
Manager Tony jacobson and Superin-
tendent Al Jacobsen. This latest strike,
or one Of the latest, is in a fissure about
$50 feet from the one in which is the ore
body recently opened on the tunnel and
l0O-fOot levels 1t is IN an entirely new
part of the mine, so far as ore disclosures
go and for that reason the management
does not care TO forecast its PROBABLE i'm
portance. But the present showing is a
full face of ore, which carries 10 per cent
copper, 20 ounces in silver and S1.20 in
gold. It is estimated that the drift has
about fifty feet further to run to reach
the contact,
The drift on the 400 level, which is
aimed TO open the downward extension OF
the new ore body opened from the tun-
mel level, is being driven in a fissure
which already shows considerable ore,
and it is believed that the ore body proper

or three days.
Another development, the Importance of
which has not yet been determined, is IN
a drift which is being sent out on rs
sure leading off the north stope in the
large ore body, between the tunnel level
and the 100 level That drift has a full

Parish IS Strong
ON ELY DISTRICT
Possibilities of Limestone Area

Declares.

william A. Parish, one Of the first OF
the engineers Of worldwide reputation to
recognize the vast extent of the blanket
formation Of porphyry ore in Ely district
and the possibilities of the limestone for
nation, is naturally gratified on account
OF the recent developments which are in
every way confirming his theories. While
Mr.. Parish is averse to exploiting his
ideas in the press, when seen yesterday
Just before leaving this city for Arizona
he was firm in expressing the conNlctlol
not only that his estimate OF ely Centiai

There is no question. Mr.. Parish said,
that the porphyTy extends under the
limestone in the northern end of the dis
trict-that the limestone is an overflow.
The change takes place IN the vicinity
OF the Chairman property from there
dipping under the limestone as 1t eN-
tends through the Ely Resurrection ana
Ely Northern groups. The surface SHOW
ing on the Ely Resurrection, which he
himself had examined several years ago,
is sufficient proof of the great value OF
the property, he declared, without con-
sidering the lodges Of high grade ore
which he understood had since peen
opened in place.

SAYS PLANS PERFECTED
FOR BLACKH0RSE MILL

ID. Austin Brown, who was in the city
yesterday on the way home from Nevada,
where he has been looking after his min
ing interests, said that arrangements had
been perfected for building a mill on the
property of the Amalgamated Nevada
Mines company. Work is to be started on
Inc mill as soon as spring opens.
The Amalgamated Nevada owns the san
Pedro and other properties in the Black
horse district, as well as ranch interests
which carry extensive water rights. A
tonnage of ore ample to warrant the
building of a 20-stamp mill has been de-
veloped In the san Pedro mine, IT IS said,
and a number of other mines in the dis
trict would be worked could the ore be
rrilIad in the camD.
