SELECTING SEED CORN.
If You Have Not Done That Yet This
Season Be Sure Not tosNegIect It.

The time is now close at hand Wher
every farmer should make his selection
of seed corn for next year from the
field. If you have not grown a seec
patch and pulled out the tassels of all
the weak stalks and used other pre-
cautions necessary to the best seed
growth. d. not neglect the last chance
you have by falling to select your seed
in the field. Here is what one Tennes-
see farmer says about it:
"A good type of corn plant is one
stocky. with heavy foliage, good silk
and tassel, good brace roots, two good
ears set about halfway the stalk,
hanging we'll over with strong shank,
but not too long.
These stalks should be marked in
some way. A good way too do this is
to tie strips of cloth around the stalk
above the ear OF some color that can
be seen we'll then in harvesting, gath
er the ears from these stalks, stripping
the shuck back on one side Of the ear
enuogh to have shuck to tie the two
ears together.
Then protect from rats by stretching
a line across the ceiing, throwing the
ears across the line, and let hang until
spring.
Then shuck out, dlscarding all infer
ior ones, placing all model ones on a
table. Then select a model and grade
to that type.
A model ear IS cylindrical in shape,
with circumference about two thirds
the length. well filled out at butt and
tip, corn extending well over the cob,
rows compact and straight, running
parallel with the cob.
Shell by hand, discarding all ears
that have black-tipped grains, as these
are often weak IN germlnatlon.
1t is not necessary to test the germ
ination of seed that are cared for in
this way, as they will often show ger
mlnation of 100 per cent.
