The best place for the farmer TO
obtain seed corn is from fields on

OF course, if community has eli

superiority of his corn will demand
a special price for his superior
seed. Such corn breeders are im-

The Importance of the three
requirements just enumerated has

by the departments Office of Corn
Investigations. The results given
briefly, as enumerated, are as
follows:
% For a series of five years,
u well-bred varieties were tested
in 10 northern States, equivalent
lots of seed being used i'll each
State. Varieties that produced
most in some States were among
the poorest in others.
CD Seed ears taken from the
highest Welding rows of ear-to-row
breeding plats have repeatedly
produced better than seed ears
taken from poorer Welding rows.
Seed ears from the best producing
stalks found i'll a general field pro-
duced more than seed ears taken
without considering the productive
ness Of the parent stalks.
CD Four bushels of ears were
divided into two equal parts. one
part being we'll taken care of and
the other placed in a barn as corn
is ordinarily cribbcd. The we'll
preserved seed gave a yield on
poor soil II per cent higher than

on your farm.
The oniy proper way to select
seed corn is from the stalks stand
ing where they grew as soon as
ripe and before the first hard freeze.
As soon as the crop ripcnS go
through the field with seed picking
bags and husk the ears from the
stalks that have produced the most
corn without having any special
advantages, such as space, mois-
ture, or fertility. Avoid the large
ears on stalks standing singly with
an usual amount of spare around
them. Preference should be given
the plants that have produced most
heavily in competition with a full
stand of less productive plants.
In all localities the inherent
tendency Of the plant to produce
heavily of sound, dry, shelled corn
is OF most Importance.
Late-naturing plants with ears
which are heavy because of an eX-
cessive amount of sap should be
ignored. Sappincss greatly in
creases the weight and is likely to
destroy the quality. In many
sections this fact is not sufficiently
appreciated.
lii the Central and Southern
States all other things being equal,
short, thick stalks are preferable.
Short stalks are not 50 easily blown
down and permit thicker planting.
Thick stalks are not so easily
broken down and il general are
more productive than slender ones,
tendency for corn to produce
suckers is hereditary. Other things
being equal, seed should be taken
from stalks than have no suc!lers.
The same day seed corn is
gathered tie huSked ears should be
put in a dry place where there is
free circulation OF air, and placed
III such a manner that the ears do
not touch each other. Good seed is
often ruined because it is thought
dry enough when gathered and the
precaution mentioned is considered
unnecessary. Many farmers believe
that their autumns are so dry that
such care is superluous. Seed corn
in every locality gathered at ripen-
ing time will be benefited by
drying as suggested. If left i'll the
husk long after ripening, it may
sprout or mildew during warm,
wet weather or become infested
with weevils.
The vitality of seed is often re-
duCed by leaving it i'll sack or i'll
a pile for even a day after gather
ing. During warm weather, with
some moisture in the cobs and
kernels, the ears heat or mildew in
a remarkably short time.
The Department of Agriculture
has bulletin that gives i'll detail
the best manner of treatment for
corn after it is gathered. The
bulletin also describes how seed
corn should be stored during the
winter and tests of the termination
of seed corn. The bulletin may
be had free by those who request

morning. after holding a conference
with local stockholders of the Della
ware Mining company which owns
thirteen claims in the Humboldt
county high-grade camp. 1t is re-
ported that the real business was to
secure an option on the Delaware,
but the visitors would not discuss
this phase OF the matter.
Mr.. williams has some Of the finest
specimens OF high-grade gold ever
seen in this or any other camp, and
one OF them sawed through in two
sections is almost pure metal. An
assay on this specimen gave returns
of $4,000 a ton. but this is not
given with any idea of convincing
the public that gold is strewn loosely
around Seven Troughs. for he says
the future Of Seven Troughs lies in
the utilization Of the enormous bodies
OF milling ore that have been devel-
oped and are waiting for the erection
OF mills.
''The camp Is coming back In fine
shape" remarked Mr. Williams last
evening at the Mizpah hotel. "The

Troughs Mining company, is shipping

teams going. A great improvement

"One short lamb crop" said Mr..
