LETTER FROM THE CROP IN
PkONEMENT COMMITTEE.


just ut this season when the whole
State is interested in the products of
the farm, and thousands from city
and country are shaking hands at
he fairs in different sections, it may
be well to call attention to the work
being carried on by the State .\gri
cultural College, the Experiment Sta
ton, Agricultural High School,
Farmers Grangrs and other agencies
for the uplifting Of country life.
We especially call attention to the
benefit likely to accrue in the future
if the citizens of every county will
inaugurate and support the Boys and
Girls Clubs in connection with the
Public School; also cooperate with
the State Institutions and the [. 5.
Department of Agriculture to secure
demonstration in every county whose
whole duty shall be to visit the farms,
get informed from the farmer himself
regarding the soils, and methods of
cultivation that bring best results,
the labor problem in each section,
and help bring about 10y corporation
Of the different agencies any needed
improvement.
There is no fall work that is of
more importance than that of pick
ing seed corn. 1t would he better to
stop some of the other work for day
and to get the necessary supply of
next years seed. The selection of
choice seed from the home fields is
the best method Of making the most
rapid progress in corn growing.
Here is where the boys who belong
"a the corn clubs can help. They will
know that maturity is indicated by
brown, dry silks, the husks of the
ear turning yellow and by the tend
ency of the ear to hang downward.
Ears on long shanks should be avoid
ed. Select the ears from vigorous
appearing upright, wcllrooted stalks.
These stalks should have many broad
leaves which indicate a good big food
factory, therefore, a strong grain
De not select seed ears that grow
too close to the ground, or those that
are high on the stalk. The place of
the ear on the stalk, the form of the
ear and the strength of the plant are
characteristics that are handed down
from the plant, through the grain, to
the next crop.
Good characters to look for and
select, are the upright, stalky, we'll
rooted leafy plant. ears that are ma
ture, well filed, of good form and
that are produced midway of the
stalk. These characters can be noted
only when seed selection is made
from the standing stalks. Don't de-
lay. Corn selected early from the
field and properly stored is reason
ably sure to grow and give perfect
stand next year.
