DOUBLING THE CORN YIELD.
Every Farmer Can Breed Better GRAIN
Says Wisconsin Authority.

Every Farmer Can Breed Better Grain,
Says Wisconsin Authority.
If it is possible to increase the yield
of corn from ten to thirty bushels per
acre we should all be made aware of
that fact in the shortest possible time,
Tor 1t makes a great difference to the
farmer who is on high priced land
whether he Is growing thirty-five BUSH
els of corn per acre or sixty, says Pro-
lessor r. A. Moore of the University
of Wisconsin, writing in Farm and
Fireside.
A large portion of the advanced yield
of corn in Wisconsin has been brought
about by using definite select breeds
of kiln dried seed that has high ener-
gy and vitality. Better culture has Of
course contributed to the result.
We cannot emphasize too much the
importance Of having seed corn grown
in close proximity to where 1t is to-,
be used. 1t usually takes several
years continual growing before corn
becomes thoroughly acclimated to the
surrounding environment of soil and
climate. and If radical change is
made the corn will deteriOrate.
AS far as possible every farmer aft
er getting started with highly bred
seed should grow and develop his
own seed from year to year. His first
efforts should be toward selecting for
an ideal corn plant. He should have
in his mind those special characters
tics he desires to perpetuate. Such

EAR TO THE ROW CORN BREEDING;

ideal corn plants are to be found In
his general field Their selection is
the first step in corn breeding.
In order to do this well the farmer
should go through the field. following
definite rows, at Il time when the plant
will show it's general characteristics
to the best possible advantage. This
is usually when the corn Is in the
milk. as then the leaf, ear and stalk
can be studied to good advantage We
should select medium stalk which
puts out one good ear about three feet
above the ground The stalk should
have numerous broad healthy leaves.
When the ideal stalk is found 1t
should be marked so as to recognize
the plant after the corn has ripened-
After the first plant is found other
plants are selected that conform close
ly to the first selected stalk. In this
way 200 or 300 stalks are marked. and
after the corn is well ripened the ears
from them are picked and husked. The
ears that are not uniform in character
are rejected. and only those that show
good type are saved for the second
years work. These ears should be
thoroughly cured and put away where
mice will not modest them or where
they will not be subject to frequent
variation in temperature.
The second step in corn breeding Is
known us the ear to the row method
of breeding. For this we use the ears
selected the previous year. The ears
are tested for termination and only
the strongly terminating ears kept
or these the butts and tips are reject
ed. and the middle two-thirds Of the.
ear is generally used.
| Ground should be selected upon
which similar crops have been grown
from year to year so that the soil VIE
be in q uniform condition. Each ear is
planted in a separate row until 30 or
100 ears are used. The hills are am
equal distance apart, and the same
number Of kernels, usually three, are
planted to the hill.
The outcome is astonishing. Some
of the ears of corn planted have the
energy, vitality and projected efficieu
cy to produce as much as ten times the
amount of select seed corn that other
sister ears are able to produce. The
rows that are to be the heavy yiedersi
of good seed corn early become no
ticeable for the general uniformity
which they hold throughout the entire.
row.
The next years seed corn should be
secured from these high yielding rows,
and i; will transmit this special fune--
ton of yield and perfection of ears to
its progeny of the next years crop.
In some instances every alternate
row is detasseled, so as to prevent
close fertilization, and the seed corrA

rows.

guarantee good crops. Poor soil poor
ly cared for will give poor crop no
matter how good the seed is. BuS
using good seed you are sure good care
will not be wasted by the failure of
the seed in terminating or breeding

The Idaho National Harvester
Threshes Beans and Peas

In view of the fact that the raising of beans is
industry of considerable Importance in the Potatch
country the results of experiment carried on IN
Moscow the past few days will be of unusual interest
to readers of the Gazette.
After an experiment covering a few days, during
which time crop of beans belonging to Postmaster
Collins of Moscow was threshed with one of the Ida
no National combines, the company makes the an
nouncement that their invention will success
fully harvest beans. Visitors to the Moscow factory
are shown samples of the Collins beans harvested by
this combine. Mr.. Collins is entirely satisfied with
the work done and is enthusiastic in his praise of
the little Idaho He said when asked about the
quality of threshing done:
81 entirely satisfied AS matter of fact the
machine did wonderful work, for the beans
damp and therefore difficult to handle. The little
Idaho did not crack the beans believe the work
was as good as anything l in the line of
threshing this crop, and reason why the
farmers will not prefer this machine it not only
is successful bean thresher, but entirely
full in wheat, oats, barley and peas
The company not able to harvest beans with
the machine it is used for grain, but solved the
problem by changing the concave, additional
pense to the farmer of but few dollars.
Some weeks ago the University of Idaho, after
failure at threshng peas with spike tooth cylinder,
successfully harvested their crop with the Idaho Ma
tional combine without any change the machine
as it is used for wheat oats The work was high
y satisfactory, and the machine received the highest
praise at the hands of the experiment station
perts. Samples of field peas threshed with the Idaho
were exhibited at both the Spokane and Lewiston
fairs, and attracted much attention.
The University experimenters have been working
the proposition of producing some profitable crop
that will enable the farmer to make money on sum-
mer faow In the Palouse country beans and
are not satisfactory these crops in the Pot
latch and field peas were tried. This season. which
was poor one, produced crop Of peas at the Uni
versity farm worth $50 per acre. This crop can be
successfully raised anywhere in the Palouse country,
and is a most valuable stock food. The difficult
thing has been to successfully thresh Them and now
this has been solved by the Idaho National, which,
Judging from the experiences the past is the

The machine is simple, yet strong and durable, with

call the patrol and instead started to
walk Slater TO Jail. AS they passed

teenth streets the prisoner suddenly
darted away from his captor and ran
through the barn to the alley. Sehnert
recovered from his surprise in a mo-
nent and gave chase. Down the alley
ard north on Sixteenth went the man.
At Second avenue he turned west and
then south again and around the court
house and back TO Second avenue. At
this point the officer hailed a wagon
belonging to a second hand store,
which happened TO be passing, and
the chase was continued. The pursued
man then made for the railroad yards.

sued on foot again and the rest he had
