Minnesota King, and in South Central
Minnesota, Minnesota No. 13 Yellow
Dent, and Rustler White Dent. The
two first named are comparatively
large-eared varieties, but with broad
and shallow kernels that mature early.
The standard varieties for Southern
Minnesota are Minnesota No. 10 Yel-
low Dent, Early Murdoch Yellow Dent
and Silver King or Wisconsin No.
White Dent. Except for specially-fa-
vored localities, it is believed that the
Minnesota No. 13 is the most univer-
sally adapted to general use. This va
riety produces ears averaging eight to
eight and one-half inches in length
and about six inches in circumference.
The kernels are deep and the cob OF
medium size. It has been especially de-
veloped for heavy yield. Some strains
of this variety, developed in the ex-
IRENE southern part of the state, are
slightly larger than the parent strain,
and yield even better. The yield of
Minnesota No. 13 corn in Central Min.
nesota will average fifty~fve to sixty
bushels per acre when the crop is
grown on good corn land and given
proper care. Yields of eighty-fve
bushels per acre have been secured.
The other varieties mentioned meet
with favor in certain localities, and
are of approximately the same size.
It is not considered wise to attempt
to grow larger varieties in Minneso-
ia. While the Leaning, Reid's Vel
low Dent. Iowa Cold Nire and Iowa
Silver Mine Will occasionally mature
in favorable seasons, with good care,
it is not safe to rely on them for the
main crop of corn. 1t is far better to
secure a yield of forty-fve to sixty
bushels every year than to secure sixty
to seventy bushels every other year.

In all parts, and the cultivation was
exactly the same-five CIVILIZATIONS
and one hoeing.
T. *- Seed for 1912.
From the breeding-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 in 'ividual
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, Is inches each way. Wires
are stretched on either side of the
frame, making 100 21.-inch spaces in
each section. The rack thus holds
400 ears. The numbers are written
on the frame, and begin with 0 and
run to 9.
Method Of Testing.
The boxes are two inches deep and
twenty inches square, inside measure
and are divided into 100 squares by
wire gauze Place about one inch OF
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 corr
from the ear, taking each kernel from
different part Of the ear Place the
kernels in square 0 in the box, ant
the ear in square 0 in the rack, and sc
on until the box is filled. Now cover
| with about half an inch of soil, anC
wet down thoroughly; set away in :
| moderately warm room, and examine
| once each day to see whether the sol
| is still moist. In four or five days thu
corn should be up and the test count
| ed out. Be careful and keep all ear:
testing 100 per cent. separate from thu
rest, for anything less than 100 pei
cent will lower the stand.
| Financial Gain Is Large.
| uC liudlC1dI sam lUll SUWluS tlls
seed from the best ear from the breed
ing plot is shown to be $3.50 as com
pared with that from poorer ear
Taking this as a basis, on a 50-acrt
field, then, the gain from the use O.
the best ears exclusively would bt
$275.
It does not require over 800 ears tt
plant 50-acre field, and 500 ears were
tested by us at cost of $500, count
ing mans time at 20 cents an hour
and figuring on an annual deprecia
ton of 10 per cent, and allowing II
per cent interest on the cost of thu
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 further gain of ap
proximately $56; making the total cas-
lily realizable gain, on 50-acre fell
of corn, by the use of the breeding plo
and single ear test, about 1891 in ex
cess CT that achieved by ordinar,
methods of planting.

1t has been truly said that the edu-
cation of the child begins with it's
grandparents. So, too, with the de-
velopment of seed-corn. Let us pre-
pare to raise bumper crop of corn, in
1912, by this fall setting aside, in some
isolated portion of our farm, half an
acre as seed-plot. 1t should be dis
tant from any other fields devoted to
corn, that polarization from such
fields may be avoided. 1t should be
plowed in the fall, and thoroughly
disced in the spring, to make a fine
seed-bed
Seed corn, for planting in the spring
of 1911, must have been picked before
killing frosts in 1910, and stored where
it would be thoroughly dried, and stay
dry, and where the temperature would
not get below freezing, if one ex
poets to have vigorous seed.
Ear to Row Test.
Having selected, from the 1916
| crop, thirty of forty of the best ears
| and tested them for termination
| plant the seed from each ear in a
| row by itself. Label each row by
| driving small stake at the end, or
which has been written the number
| of the row. Make all the rows of the
same length, and plant the same mum
Der of kernels in each hill This is
necessary in order that the results
may be comparable.
| Give this plot good cultivation, and
when the corn begins to tassel, &C
through it once day for at least {
| week and pull out the tassels from al
| weak and barren stalks. This will
prevent undesirable plants from shed
ding their pollen upon the silks O
other plants, and reproducing them
! selves.
Harvesting.
When the corn is ripe, each row
should be cut and shocked separately
and tied firmly, to prevent the shocks
from blowing down. When we'll field
cured, husk each shock separately ant
| weigh the product. The greater yielt
of one ear over another will be sur
prising. Our breeding plot yielded 81
bushels per acre in 1909, and thu
yield from a single ear varied from
59k bushels to 701a bushels per acre
Valued at so cents per bushel, the
yield of one year. expressed in dol
lars and cents is $29.75 per acre fol-

A large portion Of the dissatisfac
ton which stimulates the drift OF
population from the country to the
cities has had it's origin in the in.
ferlOr comfort and convenience of the
average farmhouse as compared with
the city dwelling. This inferiority has
been. and still is, mainly shown in the
matter Of the water supply, heating,
lighting, toilet facilities and the kitch-
Ell equipment. This was graphically
set forth by Professor John l.. Coul.
ter, OF the University of Minnesota, in
his address at the Minnesota Conser.
vation Congress, wherein he quotes
the comparison voiced by hundreds OF
farmers, in part as follows:
They have electric lights or gas in
the city; we have the old oil lamp or
tAllow candle. They have furnaces in
their houses, and when they get up in
the morning the house is warm and
pleasant; we get up and find every
thing frozen and the house chilled.
They have hot and cold running water
and baths; we must go out to the old
pump, or melt snow and ice, and take
our bath in the dish-pan or Wash-tub
They have toilet facilities and sewers
we must go out in the cold of winter
to the snow-tilled privy, and in summer
to the foul-smelling, unsanitary one"
Now, the disparity in comfort be-
tween the average city dwelling and
the average country home has been
greater, of recent years, than it for
merly was. But this has been not so
much a matter Of location, but of the
greater readiness of the city dweller
to adopt improvements as they have
appeared-a readiness exhibited, not
because the city man was brighter,
but because, in the centers of popula-
ton, one becomes more quickly fami-
lar with new things, and the spread of
improvements is FASTENED by exam
pies of their superiority quickly her.
aided on every side. The fact OF to-
day is, that the owner of many farm
homes, if not Of every such home, can,
If he will, have all the comforts and
cOnveniences Of the city dwelling, and
at little if any greater cost. He can
have electric lights. or gas, by the use
OF any one OF numerous inventions for
supplying isolated dwellings,. FIe can
have furnace, or what is infinitely
better, a lot-water heating plant, just
as readily as his city brother. (The
