Financial Gain 10 Largo
The financial gain from sowing the
seed from the best ear from the breed
ing plot Is shown 10 be $3.50 as COM
pared with that from 4 poorer ear.
Taking this as basis on a 60-acre
the best ears exclusively would be
$276.
It does not require over 800 ears to
plant 5O-acre field, and 800 ears were
tested by us at cost Of $500, count
ing 4 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 further gain Of ap-
proximately $56; making the total cas-
lily realizable gain, on 50-acrs 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.

Types Of Corn for

Corn, more than any other Of our
farm crops. is localized as to variety
and type. There are only a few vari-
cites, commercially known, that are
adapted to growth in Minnesota. With
q season of ninety days in the extreme
porthern portion of the state and lis
days in the southern portion, 1t is not
possible to grow the large-eared vari-
cites of the states farther south; nor
Is it necessary that they be grown to
secure profitable yields. Quite az
large average yields can bo obtained
BY growing some Of the medium-sized
Dent varieties that are practically
sure to mature every year. "E&
In Northern Minnesota, tho smaller
Dent varieties only will succeed, such
- Minnesota No. -, White-Cap Yel-
low, Dent, Pride Of the North Yellow
Dent, and 4 few varieties that have
not become commercially important
The above named varieties produce
ears that viii average seven 10 seven
and oue-half inches in length, but
yield forty 70 hfty-nve bushels per
asrs where grown under favorable
conditions.
b Central Minnesota, Dsal varieties
g . somewhat larger type are grown.

Seed for 1912.
From the breeding-plot select thir.
ty or forty of the best ears, from the
highest-y ielding 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
fy 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 2A-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

Minnesota King, and in South Central
Minnesota, Minnesota No. 10 Yellow
Dent, ana 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. 13 Vel
low Dent, Early Murdoch Yellow Dent
and Silver King or Wisconsin No. Z
White Dent. Except for specially-fa.
vored localities, it is believed that the
Minnesota No. 10 is the most univer
sally adapted to general use. This va
r1ety 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. 1t 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. Ii corn in Central Min.
nesota will average fifty-five to sixty
bushels per acre when the crop is
grown on good corn land and given
