From the Crop Improvement Commit
tee

Last week we called attention to the
advantage of selecting from the fields
| this fall the seed corn intended fol
next year.
1t is we'll to secure twice as much as
| you expect to use so you can make
a further selection of the best ears, and
you will probably sell the remainder
at a good price to those who have
failed to provide.
Dean Swift gave it for his opinion
that" whoever could make two ears of
corn. or two blades of grass, to grow
upon spot of ground where only one
grew before, would deserve better of
mankind and do more service to his
Country than the whole race of politi-
clans put together On this basis see
what the farmers can do for Mary
land.
One important point to remember is
"MATURITY"- Mature corn is of high
err feeding value. is worth more per
bushel, and is always higher in vitality
Under diverse conditions.
The weight of one ear is not always
desirable; we'll filled, medium sized, are
generally more productive and of great
er vitality, and should carry it's butt
size we'll to tn tip, and have straight
regular rows of even sized kernals. be
sure the kernal is full and plump at the
germ end.
1t is the per-ceut of shelled corn to
the acre that counts. The more uniform
type of seed corn, the more even and
| uniform the stand of corn secured with
the average planter.
Do not pile the freshly selected seed
in a box or bin. Do not leave it in
bags or piles On the barn or graniery
| floor where rats can getit. If no other
place is available, strip off all but few
of the husks and use these to tie the
| ears together in pairs, and hang them
| if weather is dry, over clothes line in
| open yard for week or ten days. Bet
ter still remove all the husks and place
the ears in strings of about ten OF
twelve each using binder Irvine to
loop the ears together. Hang these
strings in some protected place that
has good circulation of air. If the
seed corn is thoroughly dried it will not
be injured by any degree of cold.
Mr.. P. G. Holden, well known ii
the Agriculture extention work says
.The corn growers is noble life. lei
him study it, let him love it, let him take
pride in 1T, let him do better than he
did yesterday, better this year thar
last year.
You can see that tn get bettr results
next year you must commence now.
