GRADING OF SEED CORN.
May Be Selected Better Before Ears
Are Shelled Than Afterward.

STe ouSloO IMAM AvI0VWdFQs
Seed corn may he graded better be-
fore the ears are shelled than after
ward. The United States department
Of agriculture specialists in corn inveS-
LEGATIONS consider it difficult to grade
shelled corn satisfactorily.
II the seed ears vary greatly as to
size OF kernel they should be separated
into two or three grades according to
size Of kernel. These grades should
be shelled separately, tested in the
corn planter and numbered to CORE
spond with the number on the planter
plates that are found to drop them
o uniformly. These arrangements
can be completed before spring.
The first operation in properly she'll
ing seed corn Is the removal of the
small kernels from the tips of the ears
and the round. thick kernels from the
butts. The former are less productive
than the other kernels OF the eur. The
round butt kernels are as productive
as the other kernels OF the ear. but do
not plant uniformly in a planter.
Smelling seed corn carefully by hand
is profitable. The greater the acreage
planted the greater the profit. Into Il
shallow pan or box each ear should be
Shellel separately.

Who's the Best First Baseman?

In selecting the all stan first baSeman
from the two big leagues there la,
been much contention among the ex-
peri dopeSterS as to whether Stutfy
McInnis of the Philadelphia Athletics
or Jake Daubert of the BROOKLYN
dodgers should be awarded the palm.
Some hold that Mclnnis is unsurpassed,
as Il guardian Of the first sack. while
supporters of Daubert point to the off
cinl record OF their champion. The
figures show that Daubert has the bet
ter of it when figures are considered.
The records OF the two guardians Of
the first sack are far ahead of any of
their competitors. No other first base
man in the game approached the bat
ting and fielding marks set by this
puir for 1914. Duubert, however, out
hit Mclnni> by ten points. He also
outtielded him, stole three more bases
and scored fourteen more runs. al
though he played i'll thirteen fewer.
games. Jake therefore has the edge on
Stufy, which certainly Is going fast.
