Save the Good Ears.

Now is the time to be on the lookout
for choice ears of corn. The season
has been most favorable indeed. Corn
planted during the very early days of
May received no setback, and no field
Of corn has any claim to an argument
with Jack-frost after Sept. 10th. Con-
seauently there are thousands of
bushels of as choice corn in the Flick
ertain State this fall as ever grew in
therecognized corn belt. Every farmer
who is 80 fortunate as to have field
Of . this choice grain should select the
very best tensears,fo an; exhibit. at the
North Dakota Corn Show. 5's
WHAT no LOOK FOR.
Maturity: Every ear selected for
seed or exhibit purposes this fall should
be perfectly ripe and sound.
Size: Medium to large ears are best.
Butts: Full and well turned.
L Tips: Size carried well forward with
tips covered, giving the ear a distinctly
cylindrical appearance.
Rows: Straight and even.
Kernels: Broad and deep.
WHAT TO AVOID.
Immaturity: Indicated by softness,
moldiness, or by loose and shrunken
kernels.
Too Large Ears: These are likely to
represent poor quality and are not so
apt to, ripen.
Irregular Butts: Either contracted
and weak, or large and swollen.
Marrow tips with cobs protruding.
Shallow kernels on big cobs.
Marrow Shoe Peg Kernels: These
indicate weakness in terminating
power. Il
Flinty kernels in a Dent variety.
Dented kernels in Flinty variety.
Mixtures.
Differences in type.
In selecting for seed, the grower will
do well to 60 over large amount, pick
ing out only the best according to the
hints given above. Corn should be
cured in dry shed or building where
there is plenty Of ventilation. When
perfectly dry it may be sacked, but
must still be kept perfectly dry.
Nov in case an exhibit is to be made
at the North Dakota Corn Show, the
very best ten ears from all the seed
must be selected. The show will be
held at Fargo during the Tri-State
Grain Growers c Convention, January
1919, 1912. A most attractive line Of
premiums is offered by the First
National Bank of Fargo. The Secre-
tary Of the Association will also put
forth every effort in an endeavor to
secure other premiums. This will un-
doubtedly be the largest and best ex-
hibitt Of corn ever made in the North
west. 4; Il
