Ears should be of medium size not
too long nor too short. If they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; if they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
as large a quantity of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are too
slender will not yield large amount
of corn.
Now we know what sort of an ear
Is best for seed, but why should we
select it so early and why gather it
from the field? This is so we may
select as seed, corn which natures
early. In short seasons, when the
frosts come late in the spring or early
in the fall, late maturing corn will
not ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be-
fore the frosts. You understand, of
course, that if frost touches the corn
before it ripens, the germ may be de-
stroyed and this corn will not grow.
When it is late enough so that all
the corn is ripened, We cannot tell
which ears ripened early so we will
go into the field early and gather our
corn, selecting that which is already
matured.
Then we must know the type of
stalk on which the ear grew.
Study bulletins and articles on Sc
lecting seed corn and let the schools
lead the county in this movement
vital to the country's corn crop next
year.
The Agricultural Extension Depart
ment of The International Harvester
Company issues a special school bull
letin on selecting seed corn from the
field which is sent for the asking.

in Ohio in the matter of securing en-

CORN WORK FOR SCHOOLS.
The Schools Should Help In the Move
ment to Save the Seed Corn for
Next Year.

Do not assign lessons by bulletins
and booklet. Teach by things, not
, words. Then we shall be teaching the
boy and girl and not the subject.
Let the pupils go into the field and
select what they consider good ears
OF corn. Now, look them over for
strong and weak points.
They haven't been told what to look
for? True-but let us not tell them;
let us work it out together.
Shell off half the corn from two or
three ears, keeping that from each
ear by itself Measure the amounts
and compare them. Can you tell by
looking at the half-shelled ears why
one ear produces larger amount OF
shelled corn than another ear of ap-
parently the same size?
We must examine the kernels more
closely. Some are too short, some
taper too much, some are chaffy.
Some will not drop evenly in the
planter.

proposition would be submitted in
some form 10 the voters of Ohio every
year, indefinitely, ~ the single tax
idea became part Vi the state con,
stitution.
The adoption Of the amendment to
limit elections viii prevent this con-
tinued submission of the single tax
and other amendments which have al
ready been deoisively defeated.
The voters and taxpayers of Ohio
are for fair and square deal. They
believe in stability in the fundamental
law of the state, and this cannot be
secured except by voting YES on
the proposed amendment to limit cleo
tions.
Opposition Strengthens 1t.
The opposition to this amendment
is found among:
First-The single takers.
Second-The salaried agitators who
thrive upon continual agitation.
Third-Business disturbers and pro-
moters of various fads and isms which
cost the state hundreds of thousands
of dollars every year to vote down.
Fourth-Self styled tax reTormers
who would place the burden of taxes
on the real estate owners and farmers,
and exempt personal property from
taxation.
Among It's Supporters.
This amendment is supported by
the representative conservative citi.
zens of the state, practically every
judge of the various courts of the
state, many members of the last state

Corn growers should remember that
poor seel is the chief cause of poor
stand, and that poor stand means
o small ytsld. 1t means missing hills,
weak stalks producing little or moth
ing. 1t means less than 80 bushels
per acre instead of 60. 1t means that
we produce on an average, just one
small ear of corn to each hill instead
of two or three. 1t means wasted

anxious to obtain the names and
addresses of all farmers in the
territory traversed by the A. B.
& A., who have or will plant any
acreage in the following crops:
Watermelons, Cantaloupe, Sweet
Potatoes, Irish Potatoes, Toma-
toes, Pepper, Snap Beans, Squash,
Roasting Ears, etc.
The A. B. & A. Railroad estab-
lished its Marketing Department
in order to stimulate the growth
of money crops other than cot
ton. The idea being, that our
farmers would be only too glad
to plant such crops provided a
market could be found for same.
Any farmer who has planted
or desires to plant any acreage
in these crops will find it greatly
to his interest to write Mr.. N. E.
Marshburn, market agent, 613
Austell Building, Atlanta, Ca,
for blanks to be filled out show
ing the number of acres to be.

A Start Toward Better Farm
 ing Without Money

Five years ago 1 thought 1 could not make living without raising cotton, but every year found me with the same old com. plaint-nothing to begin my next crop on. My wife suggested that we make change-she was al ways quoting The Progressive Farmer to me. I told her that folks with money could farm that way, but a poor man had to make all cotton.
 But finally I decided I could do no worse by changing my plans. We had one milk COW and bull We lost the COW, then traded my bull for two heifers and bought another COW. and in a few weeks she died. We bought another COW on credit and began sowing clover.N coWpeaS and small grain. In the meant m e we ordered six pure. bred White Leghorn hens and cock. We sold enough butter, chickens and eggs 10 buy a Jersey bull calf. and 1 sold the only hog we had and bought pair of Duroc Jer. sey pigs. Results: We are living at home, having six milk cows, 10 yearlings, a fine flock of chick ems, pretty fair start of hogs, plenty of vegetables and fruit, and 1 consider my land almost doub in value.
 My five years experience try. ing to farm according to The Progressive Farmer proves that a man can make a start towards better farming without money to begin with F. R. Clinnon, in the Progressive Farmer.

Nobody buys anything that is not absolutely necessary. Needed improvement are not made. Debts remain un- paid. The whole community marks time.
