My voice must have startled him. The usually
imperturbable old fellow actually jumped. Then,
as my question did not evidently accord with what
was in his mind. he answered at random, Per

WHY CROPS RUN OUT.

The question Is often raised as to
whether crops run out" or not. To
say that crops do not run out" would
be to deny that any variations are pro-
duced by changed conditions or enyi-
ronment. When plants are brought
into new conditions of soil, climate,
or methods of farming less favorable,
they will tend to deteriorate or run
out"
Desirable Qualities Suffer First I'm
der UnfavorabIe Conditions. If corn
is planted too thick (seven or eight
stalks per hilD large yield of foil
age will be obtained, but the yield Of
grain will be small Under unfavor-.
able conditions the plant tends to REL
vert to it's original condition, and the,
particular thing for which the plant
Is grown and which gives it value suf-.
ters first and most
Best Methods Necessary. 1t is only
by the best methods of seed selection
and of cultivation that the farmer can
hope to maintain the valuable qualities
Of his crops, otherwise they will dete-

"SEED CORN WEEK."
The Last Week in September or the
First Week in October Should Be
Set Aside as Seed Corn Week
in the Corn Belt.

We have "Arbor Day." Would it
not also be well to have Seed Corn
Day?" A day when everyone should
begin the harvesting and storing of
his seed for the following spring. We
laugh at our grandfathers for planting
their potatoes and sowing their grain
lin the moon," that is, in certain
phases of the moon. The value OF
this practice lay, not in the fact as
supposed by many that the moon ex-
ercised any influence on the crop, but
In the having of definite time and
plan for the doing of various things
ON the farm.
If the harvesting Of seed corn, like
the feeding of stock, came every day,
1t would be attended to ON time, but
1t is nothing more nor less than hui
man that the work which comes only
occasionally or once year, as in the
case OF the harvesting of seed corn
should be put off or neglected alto
gether, unless there is definite time
and plan for the work.

BY p. G. HOLDEN, Agricultural Ex-
tension Department International
Harvester Company of New Jersey.
If every ear of corn intended for
planting was harvested at the proper
time and properly stored, millions of
dollars would be added to the value of
the corn crop.
Fig. l. Harvesting the Seed Corn
for Next Years Planting-Every ear
of corn intended for planting should
be harvested before the severe fall
freezes, and stored where it will dry
out and keep dry. In Iowa and the
northern half OF Illinois this work
should be done the last ten days OF
September and the first four or five
days of October. Frozen seed corn costs
the country millions of dollars every
year.
A Convenient Method of Gathering
the Seed as One Passes Between the
ROWs.-Use an ordinary tWO-bushel
grain sack; a wooden hoop from a
nail key is put in the top of the sack.
Some heavy cord, IA inches long
Climbing twine doubled several times)
is tied to one of the bottom corners
of the sack; the other end of the cord
is then brought over the shoulder
and tied to the hoop in the top of the
sack. The cord is wrapped with an
old sack to prevent the string cutting
the shoulder.
Fig. 2. Tying up the Seed Corn.
Putting in the First Ear-A piece of
binding twine is doubled and the ends
tied together. Note how the string is
held in the hands.
