therefore more profitable for the ex-
tensive farmer. The shelter breaks or
cracks some of the kernels and there
is not the opportunity Of examining
kernels from different portions of
each ear as in Smelling by hand After
being nubbed, the proper way to shell
the seed ears is to shell by hand,
one ear at time, into a sieve that
will let the chaff fall through and
leave all the kernels from the ear in
plain view for inspection. If unsat-
isfactory, all the kernels can be easily
discarded and another ear shelled.
The ears should not be shelled di-
rectly into the general seed supply
for it would then be difficult to sep
arate and discard the undesirable
kernels

now A poor corn planter is an ex-
pensive implement to use. Even
though the planter dropped satisfac-
torily last year, it should be tested
with this years seed supply before
planting time arrives. The kernels
of variety of corn frequently vary in
size from season to season and diff
ferent plates may be needed this year
from those used satisfactorily last
year.
Under favorable field conditions 10
or 20 per cent of the kernels or young
stalks are destroyed. Where extens-
i've paintings are made with first class
seed and thinning is impracticable
about five kernels should be planted
for every four stalks desired. Where
help is obtainable that will attend
properly to the thinning, 1t is more
profitable to plant twice as many
kernels as stalks desired and thin out
the weak plants as soon as they be-
come too large and hard to be de-
stroyed by the cutworms.

Department Of Agriculture Sends Out
Hints to Those on Farm so
That Good Results May be
Obtained.
ABOUT CORN SELECTION
Urges Farmer to Use Care In Select
ing the Seed That He Expects to
Use Before He Does Any
Of His Planting.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March ID
The department of agriculture has the
following useful hints for the farmer
who would protect himself against
poor quality in his corn crop:
rake time by the forelock and get
the seed corn and the corn planter
ready for operation now before the
rush of the other spring work. The
soil and the seed are two prime re-
quisites Of a profitable corn crop. At
this time Of the year there are many
DAYS when weather or soil conditions
prevent blowing Or other field work,
that can profltably be used in improv-
Ing the quality of the seed corn. The
seed supply can be improved in quail
ity and productiveness by discarding
the poor ears and the poor kernels.
Gull Out Objectionable Ears.
The best time to grade seed corn is
before Smelling. The Office of corn in
designations of the United States de-
partment Of agriculture proved by
careful field experiments that an ear
having kernels of undesirable shapes
produces ears most of which have
Kernels of undesirable shapes. All
ears that are undesirable for one reas-
on or another should be discarded be-
fore making termination tests.
Should Use Care.
At this season for several years
past number of satisfactory means
have been described for testing the
termination Of few kernels from
each seed ear. Those who have neg
lected to take good care of their seed
corn may now find dead" ears among
their supply. In such cases it will be
profitable to test the termination OF
each ear separately. Where well
adapted varieties are grown that prop
Ierly mature before frost, poor germ
nation has never been found among
ears selected as soon as mature ana
cared for properly. Those who have
given their seed proper care should
pick out 100 representative ears and
make termination test of ten grains
from each ear. If these ears germ
mate we'll it is not necessary to test
the balance of the seed supply.
Snub the Seed Ears.
Before Smelling, the small kernels
should be discarded from an inch or
more off the tips of the ears. Ac-
curate field tests have proved these
small kernels to be less productive
than the fully developed kernels of
the same ears. The thick, irregular
ly shaped kernels should also be dis
carded from the butts of the ears.
These kernels produce satisfactorily
but their size or shape prevents the
corn planter from dropping them sat
Iisfactorily. 1t is convenient to nub
the entire supply of ears before the
Smelling process is begun.
