HOW TO SELECT SEED CORN

With but little doubt, the
supply of good seed corn will
be short next spring and that
may mean good stiff price Last
spring we saw first st-class seed

main unsoh for the lack Of
,uyels. This was a very un-
usual condition because the
normal seed corn situation for
many years has been one of
shortage of supply good demand
md profit bearing prices.
Unless the season is unusually
ong there will be but little
roci seed corn produced, and it
'ill require additional care to
ind what there is. The follow
ng practical method of seed
corn selection is used on the
various farms of the South Da-
iota experiment station each
season.
About September 10, the hunt
Is begun. A grain sack may be
very easily adjusted to carry
slung over ones shoulder and
this method is generally used
hough at times baskets or
buckets are substituted. The
flrst care is to find mature,
sound corn. Next the corn plant
,r stalk is observed. A sturdy
stalk with the ear borne in a
hanging position about three
feet from the shank of the ear
t" the ground is wanted. Ears
found on such stalks are select
ed III mature.
At four o'clock, the sacks of
selected seed are taken to tho
seed room, there to be examined
again for straight rows of even
kernels, good shape and stan
dard size and color. The ears
that are selected are then hung
mp to dry SO that they do not
touch one another, thus permit
ing air to circulate on all sides.
This method is thoroughly practi
cal, and requires comparatively
httle time.-Manley Champlin,

He had risen and was handing the

bent over Craig. But the delirium
had overcome Kennedy, too.
Unable to make any sense out of

lost no time in taking samples of our

From a monkey which he had there

are infected with African recurrent

Godowski had rung the call box has
tily for messenger when Long Sin,
who had managed stealthily to creep
up to the doctors laboratory window,
moved away.
While his assistant gathered the ap-
paratus, the doctor wrote:

and moved quickly into the back room.
