A METHOD OF 6REEDiNG.-Take
fifty of the best ears among those
previously selected and tested, shell
off the butts and tips into the feed
box and shell the remainder of the ear
into an envelope, each q having a
separate envelope. Number the envel-
opes from / to SO. Put these where
the mice cannot get them. Tight glass
jars..or tin boxes are best. In the
spring, plant part Of the seed from
each envelope in a row about eight
rods long, fifty rows in all. The
length of the row would depend on
the convenience, but eight rods is a
very convenient length. In the sum-
mer when the cor tassles out detas-
sic. half of each row, alternating the
halves. Keep the corn clean and well
cultivated through the summer, and
in the fall select seed corn from the

spond with each row from which it
was taken and hang it up to dry. Then
pick the remainder of the corn from
each row and weigh it. Set down the
weight. Also weigh the ears picked
for seed and add the weight to the
weight Of the bulk corr for each row.
Thus you will know which are the ten
highest yielding rows. From these
ten yielding rows pick fifty ears OF
seed cornsfor next years breeding plot.
Mi the remainder OF seen rcu,a s.aae
the detassled half Of each Of these
ten rows in together and use this seed
to plant a seed plot or field. Thus you
win have growing the second year a
breeding plot descending from the
best ten rows and aseed plot descend
ed from the best ten rows, and in the
fall of the second year you will be
able to select all of your own seed
corn out of this registered seed plot
and possibly be able to sell some OF
TT to your neighbors. Besides this
you can sell all your good seed corn
the third year from your main field
because it will all be descended from
the ten best original ears. Now YOU
may ask, why not then quit breed
Ing corn?" The reason is that care
full selection is necessary to keep the
corn UP to its high standard Of excel.
hence. Corn breeding pays.
The reason for using the seed from
the best ten ears rather than the best

Why and HOW
Care 10 Selecting Seed WIN
Increase the Yield.
WORK PAYS WELL
(ey MANLEY cHAMPLiN, S
Dakota State Coiieue.l

OdkoCa STAKE Colte9e.)
The total corn of the United States,
II gathered together in one field, would
be as large as the empire of Germany.
The total production is 3.0OO,00O,0O0
bushels. The average production per
acre Is about twenty-six bushels. Now,
IL there are three stalks in every hill
Of corn and the hills are planted forty.
four inches apart each way and
each stalk Of corn has even
inch ear on it, the yield would
be close to 100 bushels per acre. With
larger ears the yield would exceed 100
bushels per acre. The main reason
that the average yield is so low isEthat
people hate to go to the trouble. OF
doing the extra work that means ALI
the difference otwoon einnplyarxiSting
and succeeding withscorn eulture:Fhis
extra work consists in selecting the
seed, testing it, grading it, planting it
skitlfully, %cultivating it thoroughly and
acclimating it to local conditions. We
will here outline q method for improv-
ing corn by breeding it. Every ear; OF
corn has many kernels. Each kernel
may have separate father and
mother and therefore separate individ-
uality. ALI OF the kernels on one ear
have the same mother. 1t is apparent
then that by finding out which Of
these are the best ears We can increase
the Yield Of ORR per acre by using
seed descending from such ears.
i !. !. !.
SELECTING SEED-All seed corn
In South Dakota should be gathered
from the field, and hung up to dry be-
fore Oct. /. September 8 is a good
date to begin for the northern half
and Sept. 20 for the southern half. Go
through the field with sack or basket
and pick out all OF the ripe ears II
they grow on good stalks and in good
position On the stalk. The stalk
should be rather large at the base and
show ability to stand up. The ears
should be inclined to hang over rather
than to stick straight up and be at
tached about as high as a mans waist.
BY continuously selecting such seed
Il is possible to have a large per cent
OF the 9 + growing at convenient
height to husk. After the seed has
been picked from the field it should
be laid cut on the floor, or better on a
bench, and selected for the best ears.
These best ears should be hung up to
dry. TO hang up, wire, string or the
husks can be used.
