lection of seed corn from field, in
stead of from the crib. First,
large, well-formed ear should be
selected from stalk of normal
size and growth that is surrounded
by other stalks that bear good ears.
Seed corn should not be selected
from stalks that grow near barren
stalks-those that have no corn. By
selecting good corn Prof. Barrow
says the stand can be improved, as
we'll as the yield increased ten per
cent. He says also that corn can be
dwarfed, if seed is taken year after
year from stalks of medium size.
The height of the stalk and the
height of the ear from the ground
can be regulated by selecting seea
from the field. Just as farmers Sc
lect high bred stock to raise from,
so should they be careful about the
selection of the seed they plant.
Prof. Barrow says the laws of
heredity apply in the vegetable
kingdom with the same force as in
the animal kingdom.
