Some time during the winter every
corn grower should spend few days
or more getting his seed corn ready
for planting. 1t will pay well to study
every ear before Smelling. II the seed
has been stored properly it will soon
be 'as dry as a bone" and ready for
the re-selection and elimination proc
ess. Some apparently fine ears last
tall will be found undesirable in many
respects. Discard all ears that have
dfscolored grain or cob. or dead ap-
pearance. Also discard all ears that
feel light in weight for their size and
chat have small, sharp kernels. and
germs of poor development and ap-
pearance.
Do not retain any ears excepting
those showing good development and
maturity, that are heavy for their size
and contain strong, vigorous looking
kernels Of fairly uniform size and
shape. In making the selections do
not give too much weight to fine butts
and tips, the portion between the butts
and tips is the most important. See
that tho ears are Of good size for the
season at least. On the other hand.
do not choose a great big ear-thay
are freaks, representing undesirable
rather than desirable qualities Of the
variety. A good ear, excepting in the
mountain sections, should contain be-
tween 1S and 20 rows, with grains
about II inch in length.
After the selection comes the test
for termination. II the seed was veil
dried out before hard freezing weather
set in the chances are that gerninatia1
will be nearly perfect But one Is
never certain and the only wey TO
make sure Is to pick out promiscuously
50 or 100 ears from the pile and ger
inmate at least grains from each ear,
taken from as many sections Of tho
ear. II the test shows nearly per.
feet termination 1t can DO considered
sufficient evidence that further testing
Is not necessary, but if the test shows
low termination then each ear should
b tested and all discarded that have
one or more grains that will not grow
or show weak sprouts.

 CORN IN STATE
Based on Condition October 1, Federal Bureau Says Crop is 61,4OO,OOO Blu.
 Big Potato Crop.

Little Rock, Oct. 10.-Based on con dltions on October 1, the federal Du- reau of crop estimates, puts Arkansas 1913 corn crop at 61,400,O0O bushels, CT 20,OO0,000 bushels more than the total crop crop of 1914, which was 42,- 100000 bushels. The estimate shows an increase over the estimate made September l, when the bureau set ST. 781,0OO bushels as the probable crop. inc report just out was made by the bureau and transmitted through the weather bureau
 Arkansas rice crop also shows a big gain, the crop this year being es- timated at 4,340,000 bushels, against 3,6S5,O00 bushels produced last year. The rice crop now is being harvested, and the fields around Stuttgart, De- Witt and other towns in the rice belt have the largest crops ever known. The estimate made on the rice crop September 1 was 4,2O5,OOO bushels. The fair weather of the last three weeks has greatly aided the maturing crop and rice crops, and has made harvesting conditions ideal. An increase of 100000 bushels is predicted in the potato crop, but the apple crop was short The expected total yield in apples for the State is fixed at 116OO0O bushels, against 1867 10000 bushels for last year The potato crop, though, is predicted tc reach 1,51O000 bushels, while the to- tai potato crop last year was 1,5OO,OOC bushels
 The oat estimate, too, shows an in- crease over the estimate made Sep tember 1, when the crop was estimated at J,320,000 bushels. The estimate made October was S,450,0OO bushels and the total crop last year 6,24O, ,00C bushels.
 Results of diversification are shown throughout the federal estimates ot the crops.
