UNIFORMITY DESIRABLE IN
SELECTING EXHIBITION
CORN.

In selecting ten ears for exhibition
the first thing to remember is that the
sample will be judged as a whole and
not in part on the merits Of few ex-
ceptionally good ears. Two or three
unusually fine ears cannot make up
for the deficiency of the rest of the
sample. They will bring out more
prominently the poor qualities Of the
other ears and therefore detract from,
rather than add to- the appearance of
the sample.
Uniformity be one of the
principal considerations in selecting
corn for exhibition. Have every ear
like every other ear in shape, size.
character of kernel, color of cob and
in shade of color of the grain. When
selecting sample, first pick out in the
field while husking or from the wagon
or crib, one hundred or more of the
best ears to be found. Lay them out
on table or floor side by side, and
having in mind all the characters OF
good ear, study each carefully and
eliminate the poorest ones. Two or
three hours can be spent very profit.
ably at this. Next, select two or three
of the most ideal ears in the pile,
using each as a standard, match them
with as many good ears as can be
found. Finally, out of these lots.
choose the best ten ears that will
match.
The ear should be cylindrical, or at
least only slightly tapering, with rows
running straight from butt to tip A
tapering ear has either less rows on
one end than on the other, or the
kernels are shorter or narrower on
the tip end. In either case, the
yield Of grain is less than that of a
cylindrical ear; besides, in the latter
case, there is the additional objection
of lack Of uniformity in shape of kernel
which makes it impossible for the
planter to drop them evenly

MARYLAND WEEK
EXHIBITION NEAR
Annual Event OF Affiliated AgricuI
turaI Associations To Be Held At
Fifth Regiment Armory,
November 1920,


November 1920.
Progressive farmers in every section
Of the State are now looking forward
to the coming of the Maryland Week
Exhibition to be held this year at the
Fifth Regiment Armory, Baltimore,
November 1920. With a view to
entering the competition for the wide
variety of farm, garden, and home
products during this exhibition, local
growers of fine fruit, vegetables, grains
and table products are already compet-
ing in many sections of the State in
neighborhood and county fairs
modelled after Maryland Week.
Throughout the rural districts OF
Maryland, our folks are coming more
and more to realize the value of these
local and county exhibits in encourag-
ing che production of superior quail
ity Of farm products and in arousing q
pride in what their neighborhood and
county can produce. This is especial
ly true where local clubs, oranges, or
associations are preparing to com.
pete In the Club Exhibit Glass at
Maryland Week, in which every year
we find the keenest competition and
liveliest interest. The substantial
prizes offered by the Affiliated Asso.
Citations in charge Of the Exhibition
make the representation of ones
neighborhood or county among the ex.
hibits even more worth while than
from the standpoint of pride in being
able to hold ones head with the best
of them in agricultural production.

WHY THE FARMER
NEEDS RURAL CREDIT
How He Could Secure the Capital
Needed For-lnvestment In Farm
Property and In Permanent
Improvements.
F. B. BoMBERGER,
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

In the old days when the American
farmer produced for local market
and bought in local market, under
conditions determined largely by To-
cal needs, when crops were staple and
methods of production were stand
ardixed, there was little need for ex-
tended credit. Each crop paid the
way for the next, and store credit was
sufficient for his needs. Nowadays
this is all changed. The commercial
farmer of today produces his crops
under conditions that are affected by
worldwide influences. He sells in a
market that is fixed by national and
International conditions and he buys
under conditions similarly fixed. Fur
ther, the old, careless slipshod
methods of production are no longer
efficient. The impoverished land de-
mands more intensive cultivation,
drainage, fertilizers, more live stock
and more labor. All of these call for
more capital; and the question is,
where shall he get it?
Why not from the banks? it may be
asked. The answer is that our whole
banking system has been created and
organized to meet the needs Of COM
merce, trade and manufacturing in
dustry, and is not suited to the re-
quirements of the farmer.
To carry on his business effectively
the farmer must have two distinct
types of credit, neither of which is
adequately provided by our present
banking system: first, long term
credit, by means of which he may
secure capital to buy h:s land or to
make permanent improvements; SEQ
ond, short time credit which will sup.
ply him with capital for the purchase
of seeds, fertilizers, machinery, live
stock, labor, etc. He needs long time
credit because the returns from one or
two or FIVE years. crops cannot be ex-
pected to repay capital invested in the
form of permanent improvements. He
needs short time credits because crops

periods customarily allowed by our
commercial banks. The farmers of
European countries are provided with
two distinct types of credit agencies
which are especially designed to meet
these needs. The one is the Land
Mortgage Association, which enables
him to issue and sell bonds, running
for long periods of years, bearing a
low rate of interest and secured by
the value of his land. The other pro
vides special form of personal credit
not limited to thirty, sixty or ninety
days or even six months, but extend.
ing from six months to three years.
These are the Rural Credit Banks
which play so important part in the
development of efficiency in European
agriculture.
These tive types of institutions, in
some form, should be placed at the
disposal of American agriculture; for
until the American farmer is per-
mitted to mobilize his assets and his
credit as fully and as freely as does
the merchant, the manufacturer or
the Industrial corporation, his pro-
ductive capacity must necessarily be
limited and the progress Of the in
dustry is bound to be retarded.
