LABOR FOR CORN BREEDERS
Better Quality and More Bushels Per

a small lot OF corn than small Inn
provement in large lot. A small
plat planted with the few very best
ears will produce enough TO provide
a fine quality of seed corn for the gen
eral crop the following season.
To begin with, you should secure a
few good ears of the very best va
riety for your conditions. II you have
not already got II, 1t may be advisable
TO conduct small variety test OF
those varieties which appear 10 suit
your conditions. In this preliminary
work the varieties should be planted
side by side under the same conditions
and careful study of each made.
Having selected the variety with
which you wish TO begin, give up all
others and keep the variety pure by
careful selection and keeping the
breeding plant isolated so that pollen
from other fields cannot reach 1t.
You can always find a spot upon the
farm where a small plant can be iso-
lated. There are just as good rea-
sons for keeping variety of corn
pure as there are for keeping a breed

this small plat. II you use the pro

crop, you will be many times repaid
fer the extra trouble.
Plant each two ears in alternate
rows and detassel all the rows of one
of the ears, to prevent in.breeding,
and select seed for next years plat
from the detasseled rows.
All breeding should be towards a
single, definite typo. In carrying out
this we must keep In mind the size.
form and color of the ear; the form.
depth, shape, roughness and hardi-
ness of the kernel; the covering OF
butts and tips; the time of maturity,

The careful corn breeder should be
