SAVING CORN FOR SEED
SELECTING EARS BEFORE GATH.
ERlNG TIME MOST Salts.
FACTORY METHOD.
BY c. 3. Hutchinson, Assistant Pro.
fessor Of Aaronomy, Univer.
sity Of Missouri.

The same reasons that make II nee.
essHry to select animals carefully in
breeding live stock also make Il nee
essary TO select ears Of corn carefully
II one wishes to grow better corn. i
good ear of corn will produce other
ears like It II conditions are favorable,
and for this reason only good ears
should be selected for planting. II
we should all take as much care IN
selecting our seed corn rs the breed.
err OF animals does in selecting ami
mails the yield OF corn in Missouri
would be greatly increased.
This matter of corn breeding" as
II has come to be called offers great
opportunities to the wide.awake man
or boy who knows good corn when he
sees It, The time is rapidly coming
when we shall have orr-breedsrs In
every neighborhood from whom we
must buy our seed corn, just as we
now have breeders OF pure.bred ami.
mails from whom we must buy our
breeding stock There is great oppor-
tunIty for the right young man in
every neighborhood to be leader in
the improvement of corn.
Seed corn should be selected in tho
'ali, preferably from the field after II
Is well matured and before any heavy
frosts have occurred. One OF the best
methods is to 90 through the field
with a basket or sack and select the
best ears from the best stalks. An
car of corn may be a good one be-
cause II has had special advantages.
II may have been produced in a hill
with only one stalk and have had
more than It's share Of plant food. On
the other hand. It may have grown in
hill with two or three stalks and
made a good ear in spite of these con-
ditions. Such an ear is n better one
for seed. and when planted will be
more likely to produce good ears than
one that has had special advantages.
Again, the ear may have been pro-
duced on weak stalk that has blown
down, or has been born too high or
too low on the stalk. The position OF
the ear may be erect, so that the fall
rains enter the husks readily, or II
may be dropping and well protected
from the weather. Such points may
be considered II the seed is selected
IN the field, but one knows nothing
whatever OF the stalk II the ears are
taken from the crib in the spring.
Another method commonly used is
to have box on the wagon bed, into
which good seed ears are thrown
while gathering the corn. The chief
objection to this method is that man
is usually thinking more of getting
She wagon box filed and the corn in
the crib than of selecting seed corn,
and so many of the besl cars are over.
looked.
Storing the Seed.
The object OF both methods is to
find the best ears early in the fall.

Wild Rice a Valuable Food.

Wild rice, according to a consular
report. is the most nutritious cereal
in America" The plant has LONG
black grain, and hence is sometime
called black rice. 1t has been used
from time immemorial by certain In.
dian tribes as their principal food. IN
recent years It has come into the
white mans markets, selling for con
siderably more than ordinary white
