SELECT SEED CORN
ONLY OUT IN FIELD
Of Much Importance to Know It
Ears Matured Early and
Thereby Avoided FroStS.
By ]. C. HACKLEMAN. Missouri Col

By ]. C. HACKLEMAN, Missouri Col
lege Of Agriculture)
Always select seed corn in the field
before frosts and freezes injure it.
Scoop-shovel selection, or even more
careful crib picking next spring, will
be especially fatal if frost injurss the
corn this fall.
When the harvest is on and you be-
gin to gather the crop, you can not
tell which ears matured early, and
would be likely to produce an early
crop that will avoid frost next year.
You are too busy to study seed ears,
anyhow, when trying to put as many
bushels as possible into the crib each
day.
Only in the field is it possible to
know whether an ear is large because
it was produced on the only stalk in
the hill and so had more than its
share of sunshine and plantfood. Care
full experiment station tests have
shown that the ears which are good
in spite of having been grown on poor
soil and in somewhat crowded stand
are more productive than those on
highly fertile fields or in thin stands.
Only in the field can you tell wheth'
er the ear was too high or too low
on the stalk, and whether it stood SO
erect that the fall rains would enter
the husks and spoil the ear. Ears
that stand almost erect will be mate
rally injured in case of a prolonged
rainy fall even though no frosts or
freezes should come before the corn
is harvested. If the corn should be
frozen before harvesting, and when it
is still wet from cold rain, it is not
unreasonable to think some Of it would
be killed. Ears that have a longer
shank and point down are much bet
ter.
Ear height is important not only be-
cause the lower ears are more conven
lent to harvest, but also because pro-
longed experiments have proved that
low ears are generally earlier in ma
turing than the high ears. Therefore,
select the ears that appear on the
stalk from three to four feet high
and unconsciously, but surely, the ear
height and maturity Of your corn will
be influenced.

HARD ON CHILDREN
When Teacher Has Coffee Habit.

Best is best, and best will ever
live" When a person feels this way
about Postum they are glad to give
testimony for the benefit of others.
A school teacher down in Miss. says:
81 had been a coffee drinker since my
childhood, and the last few years it
had injured me seriously.
"One cup of coffee taken at break
fast would cause me to become so
nervous that 1 could scarcely go
through with the days duties, and this
nervousness was often accompanied
by deep depression of spirits and heart
palpitation.
Il am a teacher by profession. and
when under the influence of coffee had

the school room.

physician, he suggested that I try

INTERESTING FACTS
ABOUT FLAX PLANT
More of This Valuable Coop Can
and Should Be Produced
Humus Is Necessary.

Flax is not hard on the land" when
compared with other crops.
Flax should not be grown on the
same field oftener than once in five or
seven years.
Flax wilt germs are carried by the
seed, and live from year to year in the
soil. The formaldehyde treatment
will disinfect the seed.
Flax can be successfully grown on
old lands when properly handled. Do
not SOW fax on fiax-sick soil.
Early planting is safest in the long
rum.
A firm seeded is necessary.
Harvest the crop when it is ripe.
Thresh or stack as soon as possible
when fax gets dry.
Flax in rotation should follow the
hay or pasture crops. A large amount
of humus is necessary in the soil.

PACKING ENSILAGE
IMPROVES QUALITY
Tramping Excludes Air and Pre-
vents Formation of Acetic
Acid-Cut SiIage Fine.

Packing the ensilage well improves
it. 1t is the air in the ensilage that
spoils it, and the more air in it the
more acetic acid is formed. This is
the acid that makes it sour. The less
air the less of the acetic acid and the
more Tactic acid, which is the most
desirable. The tramping in compact.
ing the ensilage leaves less room for
air and so makes better ensilage.
Cutting the ensiIage fine makes it
pack better. Half to three-quarter
inch lengths are the most satisfac-
tory.-North Dakota Experiment Sta
