LOOK OUT FOR SEED CORN

While shocking TINA is not the

TO the best. believe. and am pre-
pared to cite authority, that the best
time is when the corn is standing in
the field. for then one can pick his
corn from 4 certain height from the
ground, which characteristic lie wishes
to maintain through subsequent gen
erations: but this time and opportun-
ity which we speak OF as best has
passed for this year. and | wish now
TO call attention TO the next best
method.

ing the best corn in a pile to itself:
this corn which you have set aside

tity you will need for seed for X will

Most emphatically not. This seed
should he we'll cared for and many en-
ccllent ways are recommended. In
the Middle Atlantic and Southern
states amy way is good which will
afford cover and allow a free pas
sage OF air around each ear The
string method is very good. also the
pole method. both OF which are with
IN the financial roach OF all.
The string method is probably the
cheapest way OF all and is one OF the
most rapid in procedure. Simply take
u piece Of binder twine and fold it the
desired length. Put an ear of corn at
the fold and tie il there This will be
the bottom ear when the string is hung
OF the first ear and tie il. and so on
until the string is all used up. AS
] have said this corn should be hung
up where il Will he sheltered and have
plenty OF air. This is an excellent
method also TO keep the seed from at
tacks of rats and mice.
The pole method is Il little more cN-
pensive than the string method. How
ever the cost becomes very small when
considering the number of years one
