GOOD EARS FROM
GOOD STALKS, RULE.

Select mature ears Of good size
from stalks which under competition
are Of superior vigor. This is the
rule that P. j. Olson Of University
Farm, st. Paul, gives for the selec-
tion Of seed corn with view to i'm
proving varieties.
In selecting seed ears from stand
ing stalks, three all-important points
should be taken into account: Ma
turity of ears, size Of ears, and vigor
or the stalks from which ears are
taken. If, however, attention is
concentrated upon maturity alone, a
very large number Of the selected
ears will be understood. The result
after few years is likely to be a
small-eared strain of corn with low
cred yield. One should be careful,
therefore, to select mature ears of
good size.
Though for the average grower
who does not maintain corn breed
ing plot the most effective method of
increasing yielding capacity is selec-
ton from vigorous stalks. one must
be careful not to select from stalks
which. owe their vigor to their favor
able location. A stalk growing
alone in a hill appears more vigor-
Gus than one which shares the hill
with two other stalks, not because it
is inherently better, but because it
has less competition. Selection from
stalks thus favored will be of no
avail, if one desires to produce a
strain of corn with increased vigor.
Selection must be made from stalks
which have been subjected to the
same conditions as their neighbors
and which in spite of that fact are
more vigorous than their neighbors.

however, on account of the lack of
snow.
According to tabulation by the

ed and Al injured during the hunting
season in Is states. Last year SO
were killed and sc were injured. In
1914, Ill were killed and 1852
wounded.
Carelessness on the part of the
hunters accounted for many Of the
accidents. Many of the victims were
mistaken for deer. Michigan leads in
the number of dead with %, Illinois
is second with 13, and Minnesota
third. with IL. New York had IL ia
tai accidents. Wisconsin had only six,
the small number being attributed di-
rectly to the "Buck" law in force last
year, which prohibited shooting at
Sounds"

INSPECTORS HELP STATE
MEN GRADE GRAIN

Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. Fed
eral grain inspectors today took their
place shoulder to shoulder with state
grain inspectors, and watched every
car of incoming grain at Minneap-
oils.
One of the arguments of recent
political agitators in the wave that
swept North Dakota, was that grain
shipped to this market was improp-
erly graded by state graders. The
addition of federal graders is con-
strued as victory for the farmer
politicians of the Dakotas. g" =, -
