ivan BECK TELLS HOW
T0PLAnT SEED CORN

straight and fitting rather closely to
gether.
The tips and butts should be well
covered with regular shaped kernels
and the rows persisting to very near
the ends.
The indentation in the outer end OF
the kernels should run sQuarely across
the kernels and should be deep enough
to make the ear rather rough but
not rough enough to incline the ker-
nels to chaffiness.
It Is not advisable to select seed
corn from the shock because the VI
tally Of the corn is liable to be in
jured by heating. If corn Is to be cut
and shocked the seed should be picked
from the stalk When the corn is
shucked from the stalk it is an easy
matter to select seed by having box
on the side Of the wagon and throw
all good ears into it.
Seed corn should never be left in a
pile while green. 1t will heat enough
in only few hours to reduce it's vi
tally. 1t should be stored in sacks or
hung up by binder Irvine, or put on a
seed corn tree, any way so the ears do
not tough one another and the air
can circulate freely about each ear.
This will allow the corn to dry out
rapidly as possible The vitality OF
corn Is injured and often killed by
freezing weather while it yet contains
a considerable amount OF moisture.
But If it is thoroughly cured and dry it
will withstand considerable cold and
ever hard freezes without serious in
Jury. It does not commonly withstand
repeated changes of temperature
though without reducing its vitality to
greater or less degree. Hence II
seed corn is hung to the rafters it
should preferably be one sloping to
the north where the sun will have less
effect on the temperature.
About three times as much seed
should be collected as will be need
ed to plant the next crop and this can
then be sorted and gone over during
the latter part of the winter. culling
out all the ears appearing then as I'M
desirable.
II one spends in all ten days col
lecting, storing. selecting. and test
ing seed corn for twenty acre field
and by so doing can increase the
yield by two per acre, which is highly
probable, then the increase in yield
would repay something over two dol
lars per day for the time spent Be-
sides this the quality of the corn is
very materially improved.

BRITISH ARMY
REFUSES GIANT

LONDON. Oct 14.-If you were
eight feet two and half inches high.
weighed 280 pounds, and could throw
two men around don't you think the
army would be glad to have you?
So thought young Wiltshire Inn
keeper with those specifications. But
he thought wrong.
The ordinary Tommy's equipment
wouldn't fit him. He would have TO
have everything made to order. His
boots are size 221s. He can't get into
an ordinary railroad car seat and has
to travel with the baggage.
So the military authorities, after
wrestling with the problem, have de-
cided to let the giant keep on tending
his inn. He is twenty-five years old
and still growing.

~ IVAN BECK.

The early frost this fall has un-
doubtedly caused some injury to the
corn crop, but It Is impossible to
state how much this injury amounts
to. In one nights time the frost
stopped all activities Of plant growth,
and for this reason much Of the corn
IL likely to be more or less immature
and may be somewhat loose and chat
~ on the cob. Because Of this con.
dition is is very important that every
corn raiser take unusual precautions
in the careful selection OF seed this
fall. II we wait till next spring to get
our seed corn from the crib we will
be greatly disappointed.
The seed OF any plant has In 1t a
very tiny plantlet which is alive
though in a dormant or resting stage
during an unfavorable season for its
growth and development. The seed
has also tied up within it the inherited
characteristic Of producing a plant
very similar to the parent plant.
Because of this great fact that like
produces like it is essentially import
ant that the kind Of stalk on which
an ear of corn grows should have due
consideration as we'll as the merits OF
the ear itself. Every man in the farm.
ing business ought to adopt some de-
finite plan Of procedure by which he
will improve his corn rather than al.
low it to run out. In selecting seed
corn from the stalk one should look
for a stalk possessing the following
characteristics:
The stalk should be rather short and
strong. growing under normal con
ditions of stand. 1t takes good stalk
to produce good ear when there are
no gaps in the stand near it.
II should be healthy and showing no
signs Of smut or other weaknesses.
1t should stand erect and have an
abundance of leaf development.
The ear should be well matured In
Dictated by dry husks.
The shank attaching the ear to the
stalk should be rather short, but al
lowing the tip Of the ear to turn slight.
ly downward so as to turn the wea
Their
The ear should be attached slightly
below the middle of the stalk. Some
desirable characteristics of a good
seed ear are:
It's circumference should be about
three fourths it's length.
II should be cylindrical or nearly So
The rows Of kernels should be from
sixteen to twenty-five in number
