PICK YOUR SEED CORN BEFORE HARVEST
Select Good Ears From Standing Stalks Early in Fall
Dry thoroughly Before Cold Weaher-Proper
Storage Very Important

Hanging in one Of the cars of the
agricultural special train, recently run
over Ohio railroads by the College of
Agriculture, was placard bearing
the words, Field Selection+ Proper
Care-Good Seed Corn" The idea
suggested by this wording is that in
order to have good seed corn at least
two things should be done, viz, the
seed ears should be selected early in
the fall, preferably from the standing
corn, and they should be cared for in
such way as to be thoroughly dried
before cold weather comes.
The usual way Of selecting seed
corn is to go to the crib in the spring
and pick out the best looking ears.
By this r,ethod one may be able to
pick out nice looking corn, but the
chances are it will not give satisfac-
tory results in the field. Even If the
terminating power of the crib corn is
not injured by improper curing, the
large, nice looking ears may not have
the reproducing power possessed by
smaller, inferior looking ones. 1t has
been proven that often the finest look
ing ears of corn are likely to be the
result OF extra favorable conditions In
the field; they come from the stalks
in hills which contain only one or two
plants or are adjacent to missing hills,
or have had more than the average
amount of sunlight, plant food, etc. So

This opinion was in line with the
ruling of former Secretary of State
Thompson that the election judges
who have final authority should insist
that the voter shall have voted last
November for the majority of the state
ticket of the party in whose primary
he wishes to take part, but it should
be majority of candidates for offices,
the selection of which indicates party
policy
Attorney General Hogan brushed up
enough Latin to discover, as he said,
"Aftiliation means filial and filial
means affectionate and it doesn't mean
voting with knife. A man who votes
most of state ticket, but scratches
some candidates on it, indicates clear
ly with what party he aff1liates."

EARLY FALL FLOWING is BEST FOR WHEAT

Under our climatic conditions, il
frequently happens that the yield OF
wheat is determined largely by the
supply of available soil moisture at
seeding time and during October and
November. Rains are usually infre-
quent and uncertain at this time so
that 1t is necessary to depend upon
the water stored in the soil. The
moisture which is stored in the deep
layers OF soil must rise by capillarity,
to the seed bed, where it is needed %
induce the sprouting of the grain and
to supply the young plants with nov
ishment.
A we'll pulveriZed, compact fUrroW
slice with a thin layer of fine, loose
soil over the surface presents condi-
tons that are favorable for the con-
serVatlon and proper movement of soil
moisture When the furrow slice is
well pulVeriZed and compact it makes
a good contact with the subsoil and
offers conditions favorable for the rise
OF the moisture from below. The fine,
loose layer at the surface is favorable
to the development of the young 5la7t

moisture by evaporation at the sur

The ideal seed bed can be obtained

OF time and energy by practicing early

fall plowing. If blowing is delayed
until the ground is hard and dry, it is
practically impossible to reduce and
thoroughly pulverize the clods that
are sure to be turned up by the plow.
Repeated rolling and narrowing may
reduce the immediate surface to fine,
mellow condition, but below this layer
the clods will persist and the moisture

larity through the large spaces between
the clods. We also find that the mois-
ture supply is sometimes cut off from
below by the plowing under of thick
layer OF manure or heavy cover crop.
To secure an ideal seed bed, plow
early and follow closely with the roll
er and harrow. 1t is good practice to
roll and harrow, each morning, the
land plowed the day before. The disk.
ing of stubble land before plowing is
frequently a decided help in the pre-
paration of ground for wheat.
A common rotation in Ohio requires
that corn ground should be seeded to
wheat. The best results are obtained
by plowing and fitting the ground, if
the soil is heavy and compact, but if
light and open it may be prepared by
thoroughly disking and narrowing.

THE WISE WHEAT GROWER.

There was a man in our town
And he was wondrous wise,
He knew that if he wanted wheat
He'd have to fertilize.
It's nitrogen that makes things
green"
Said this man of active brain;
"And potash makes the good, strong
straw,
And phosphate pumps the grain.
But it's clearly wrong to waste plant
food
On wet and soggy field;
I'll surely have to put in drair1
If I'd increase the yield.
And after have drained the land,
/ must plow it deep all over;
And even then I'll not succeed
Unless it will grow clover.
Now acid soils will not produce
A clover sod that's prime,
So if have a sour soil,
I'll have to put on lime.
And after doing all these things,
To make success more sure,
I'll try my very best to keep
From wasting the manure.
So III drain, and lime, and cultivate,
With all that that implies;
And when I've done that thoroughly,
I'll manure and fertilize."

TREES FOR WINDBREAKs.

G. J. D., of Marion county, asks:
What is the best tree for planting in
Ohio for windbreaks?"
Ohio was at one time covered with
hard woods and there were very few
eVergreens found here, yet in later
years it has been found that many of
the coniferous evergreens will grow
we'll in this state, if they have the
water supply they need during the
summer. Where there is a sufficient
water supply, arbor vitae and cedars
will do we'll and there is no question
about these trees being among the
best for windbreaks for all year
around use. AS rule the hardwoods
are of use only in the summer and
when the windOreak is most needed in
winter, they furnish but little protec-
tion. Any hardwoods that can be
planted closely together will make
some kind OF windbreak for summer
use. c. H. GOETZ.

Select Corn as Good or Better Than
This.
it is not always the biggest ears of
corn that make the best seed.
Seed corn should be selected from
the standing stalks in the field at
about the time of maturity. This will
give opportunity of studying the stalk
as we'll as the ear; to choose the plants
of proper maturity and adaptability
and to pick ears from hills containing
three plants, or in drilled corn from
plants where there are no missing
stalks on either side. Select the ears
that answer all requirements am
mark the stalk or ear in some way SO
that 1t will he recognized at husking
time. Perhaps the best way would be
to wait until the corn is ready to cut,
then cut off the stalks that bear the
ears wished for seed, carry them to
the edge of the field and shock them
up until dry enough to husk. 1t should
be remembered that the ears should
not be broken from the stalks until
the stalks have matured, or the grain
will not be ripened properly.
