How to Breed Corn

County. Oklahoma
In starting TO improve your corn by
breeding II Is well to make the selec.
tion the first year from your general
field crop. This fall when your seed Is
ready 90 harvest II would be we'll TO
go through your field and select the
ears from the right kind OF stalkR You
should have some ideal In mind before
making the selection II is we'll TO SO.
iiect n much larger quantity than is
necessary for seed so that the ears
,may DO again selected before planting.
4 presume you know the good points
that an ear should possess, hence IL Is
not necessary to say anything about
that Now with one hundred OF the
very best ears you have selected, plant
n portion OF your field one ear to each
row. II should not be against either
side OF the field. but the end OF the
rows can extend TO the edge. II your
field Is too big for an ear to reach
across In planting you should plant the
remaining portion OF the row the same
as the remaining portion OF your Held.
You should have a small scale so that
you can weigh the product from each
row. Select the best ears from the
best rows and repeat as before. II
any OF these rows show up much bet
ter than the remainder Of the field 1t
would be well to save the entire guam
tty and plant IL on one side OF your
field so that you can save your seed
from that portion. In this way with
very little extra labor you can have
seed for your general farm the second
year from the breeding row, 80 that It
Is possible to have the very best pos.
alble seed at all times.-o. o. Churchill,

HARVESTING IN ARlO AREAS
Important That Grain Be Gathered
More Promptly Than in Other
Areas-Time to Cut.

In dry areas It is even more impor.
tant that grain shall be harvested
promptly than in other areas One
reason is that the grain is usually
very plump, and therefore. shells

of grain, but It is true of many kinds
Of the same. Some kinds OF wheat.
for instance. do not shell readily,
though not cut for two or three weeks
after reaching maturity This, how.
ever. is not true Of many kinds of
wheat.
The loss in shelling does not result
entirely from the loss of the grain.
In such areas, much Of the grain thus
lost will grow again, but not until the
next year. II mingles with the crop
that follows often to its serious detri
ment. even though the crop should be
OF the same species and variety II

In such areas the cutting Is usually

POULTRY NOTES.

Ducks are good hatchers but poor
mothers.
The Peking is the accepted breed in
all large duck plants.
Ducks kept on land must be sup
piled with fresh water three times a
day.
A sprayer that will force kerosene
into all cracks of the poultry house is
better than brush.
There is as much science in the mar
keting Of eggs as in any other branch
of the poultry industry.
Geese must have freedom to do well.
Two or three-year-old geese are more
profitable than yearlings.
Understood or bad-shaped eggs
should be discarded, as well as double.
yolked and thin-shelled eggs,
