Seed for 1912.
From the breeding-p plot select thir-
ty or forty of the best ears, from the
highest-yielding rows, to plant in a
seed-plot in 1912, and the balance of
the corn grown on the plot can be
planted for the main crop. Before
planting it, however, each individual
ear should be carefully tested for
termination.
The accompanying cut shows clear
ly the apparatus used. The ear-rack
is made of 2x4's, crossed in the middle
by 1x4-inch boards. This gives four
sections, 25 inches each way. Wires
are stretched on either side of the

GaIvin's Rabbit Story.

The following appeared in recent
issue of the St. Paul Pioneer Press,
and shows how easy it is to string a
city reporter
Thomas Calvin, custodian of the
City Hall and Court House. is telling
the following story to his friends. re-
ferring unbeleivers to relative, Dan
Calvin, Omaha railroad conductor,
whom "Tommie" ayers is not
"fxed :"
"Between 3 and o'clock last Sun
day morning Dan Calvin. Harry
Quigley and myself were travelling in
an automobile along road about
twelve miles north of Morris, MINI.
The machine is owned by Quigley,
who had invited US duck hunting.
"Suddenly, about twenty feet in
front of the automobile, a jackrabbit
was spied. The lights on the car lit
up the road for a considerable dis
tance, and, turning neither to right
nor left, the feet-footed bunny kept
skipping along in full view. Quigley
put on the high and gave chase, ex-
pecting to run the animal down, but
Mr.. Rabbit was too speedy.
81 was figuring on killing that
piece of fur myself, and, during the
excitement, loaded a shotgun. Dan
Calvin and Quigley, seated in the
front of the machine, were separated
by enough space to allow room for the
barrel of the weapon. Suddenly |
pulled the trigger. Were they scar
ed? Well. 1 should say so. The
rabbit collapsed in the middle of the
road. Investigation later proved that
had shot off it's head. "

soil in the box, lay in the gauze, and
you are ready to begin the test.
Take an ear of corn, and with the
jack-knife remove ten kernels of corn
from the ear, taking each kernel from
a different part of the ear. Place the
kernels in square 0 in the box, and
the ear in square in the rack, and so
on until the box is filled. Now cover
with about half an inch of soil, and
wet down thoroughly; set away in
moderately warm room, and examine
once each day to see whether the soil
is still moist. In four or five days the
corn should be up and the test count
ed out. Be careful and keep all ears
testing 100 per cent separate from the
rest, for anything less than 100 per
cent will lower the stand.
Financial Gain Is Large.
The financial gain from sowing the
seed from the best ear from the breed
ing plot is shown to be $3.50 as COM
pared with that from a poorer ear.
Taking this as a basis, on a 50-acre
field, then, the gain from the use of
the best ears exclusively would be
s275.
1t does not require over 800 ears to
plant a 50-acre field, and 800 ears were
tested by US at a cost of $500, count
ing a mans time at 20 cents an hour,
and figuring on an annual deprecia
ton of 10 per cent, and allowing 10
per cent interest on the cost of the
apparatus. To effect this, the per-
centage of increase in the yield, from
planting seed only from ears which
have tested 100 per cent, is demon
strated to afford a further gain of ap-
proximately $685. making the total cas-
lily realizable gain, on a 5O-acre field
of corn, by the use of the breeding-plot
and single ear test, about 1881 in ex-
cess of that achieved by ordinary
methods of planting

poets to have vigorous seed.
Ear to Row Test.
Having selected, from the 1910
crop, thirty of forty of the best ears,
and tested them for termination,
plant the seed from each ear in a
rew by itself. Label each row by
driving a small stake at the end, on
which has been written the number
OF the row. Make all the rows of the
same length, and plant the same num-
ber of kernels in each hill. This is
Uecessary in order that the results
may be comparable.
Give this plot good cultivation, and.
when the corn begins to tassel, go
through it once a day for at least
week and pull out the tassels from all
weak and barren stalks. This will
prevent undesirable plants from shed
ding their pollen upon the silks of

Harvesting.
When the corn is ripe, each row
gAould be cut and shocked separately,
and tied firmly, to prevent the shocks
hem blowing down. When we'll field
cared, husk each shock separately and
weigh the product. The greater yield
q one ear over another will be sur

Dashels per acre in 1909, and the
Yield from a single ear varied from
Sek bushels to 701a bushels per acre.
Valued at so cents per busheI, the
yield of one year, expressed in dol
lars and cents is S2975 per acre for
the lowest and $500 for the highest

favor of the best. This all lay in the
seed; as the land was equally fertile
