Of the ten grains terminated.
If eight or nine did, the ear can
be said to have strong terminating
power, and that it can produce a
thrifty. good yielding plant. The re-
mainder of the ear can then be
planted in the seed bed. If the seed
plat is kept away from other plats
that are growing different strains or
varieties, then a strong, pure strain
Of corn is assured. To add TO the
strength Of the pure strain, il is the
custom Of the seed breeder to detas
sic every other plant. This leaves
the stalk that has been detasseled to
be fortified by another plant, rath-
er than by itself
Aids Production Power.
This has been shown to add to
the producing power of the plant
The corn from the detassled stalks,
Of course, is the grain for planting
in the seed plats next year. The
seed from the stalks not detassled
and all grain from the tasseled
stalks which is not required for
maintaining the seed plat, can be
planted in the general field after
being mixed with similar corn taken
from another plat. Thus mixed a
hybrid plant is produced of the great
est possible yielding power.
Thus is seen that it is no difficult
matter to breed up strains of corn
and to make hybrid crosses for larg-
est field yields. Any farmer can do
it. In fact, no other one can do it
so well for "a given farm as the
farmer himself When ne grows his
own seed he knows whether or not
proper care has been taken to keep
the strains pure and strong He has
also made use of strains Of corn that
have become adjusted to the eli
mate, soil and conditions in general
of the farm. In other words, he is
taking fewest chances when he does
all this work himself And 1t is not
a large amount of work. 1t requires
very little time. The interest it will
arouse as well as the yields ii will
increase will make of il a fascinat-
ing work for any intelligent farmer.

Crossing Corn Strains Increases Yield

By CHARLES A. WHITTLE.
Gcorgia state college Of agriculture.

when the seed from the cross or hy-
bird crop IL planted, the subsequent
crop will be still larger in yield and
production Of fodder
Returning TO the original strain aft
ct the hybrid seed has been used one
year, Of course can be easily done. if
the farmer will maintain seed plats
where the pure strains are kept sep
arate from other strains.
Same Variety Should Be Used.
The second important fact about
making crosses is that only unrelated
strains Of the same variety should De
used and not two distinct varieties
Unrelated strains Of the same kind Of
corn can be obtained from different
parts Of the State or from different
States for crossing purposes. What
one needs to be certain Of however
is that the seed he is obtaining from
elsewhere has been kept pure. Re-
liable seed producers who know how
to maintain a pure strain, of course,
are to be looked to rather than 20
the indiscriminate grower for the
strains in making a cross.
These two important facts are as
essential to success as the main dis
Covery Of the effect of crossing. To
keep planting the seed of a hybrid
corn because it produced a large yield
at one time, in the light of investi-
cation, would prove foolish. This IS
too often a common practice Of farm
eTs.
Keep the pure strains strong and
vigorous by seed selection and the
hybrid fields will take care of them
selves as to yields and slower ANY
farmer can perfect his seed corn and
add greatly to it's yielding power by
well-known methods Of seed selec-
ton. The termination test is fore
most as means for determining
the vigor and potential yielding pow
er Of the grains taken from a given
ear of corn. Plant ten grains of
corn from an ear in a sand box
where moisture and proper temper
ature are maintained. In a few days
the green sprouts will have ap-
peared. Examine and see how many

Few Sales of Iron
at Present Prices
Southern Pig Held for St1 Per Ton.
Stocks viii be Reduced
in the Fall

BIRMINGHAM, ALA. July 10
Southern pig iron now is being held
for 81 per ton, and there are few
sales being made. The market is far
from being satisfactory, however. and
the make is in excess OF the demand.
The manufacturers are not inclined TO
sell at the low prices that have been
prevailing, and though reports are 70
be heard of SI0.5U per ton iron, there
are no orders
The accumulated stocks OF iron, es-
iimated heretofore at 100000 tons.
should be cut down considerably dur
ing the third quarter Of the year. At
81 per ton there is little profit on
pig iron, and the furnace companies
are said 10 be considering II better
business TO hold the iron rather than
let it go out at the lower price.
Some Of the companies selling spe-
Cial brand iron are not making con-
cessions on the premium prices. for
instance, the Alabama Company is not
selling Clifton iron under $12 per ton.
Special analysis iron is also com
handing a special price Charcoal
iron commands more than $3.50 per
ton and very little business is now
being transacted for the reason that
consumers are looking forward to a
reduction in the quotations
Curtailment of the production OF
pig iron in the Southern territory Will
be increased as the conditions Of the
market warrant it. The make in July
viii be considerably under what I
was in June. during which month
Alabama produced more than 1853. 900
tons of iron.
The steel plants are losing no time
There is a steady delivery of prod
ucts. though reports have 1t that there
IS further reduction in untitled orders
Following the announcement of Jut
placing of an order for $4,000 tons OF
rail by the Southern and other rail
roads, il is learned that somethiuG
like 10000 tons of other shapes IN
steel are needed and will be ordered
shortly in the Southern territory
Steel prices have shown but little
changes lately. save as 10 wire
y Cast iron pipe is beginning to take
