The soil was second year sod,

ed a second time. The second
planting was totally destroyed by
the worms, so 1 started to cultivate
the first planting, using a six-shovel
cultivator. This plow was also
used in the second cultivation. The
season being extremely wet 1 did
not get to cultivate any more, but
managed to lay this corn by. using
a disc cultivator and throwing 9
medium ridge. Owing to the thin
stand this corn made only 64 bushels
to the acre. The quality, however,
was good. The variety was Bone
County White.
The seed was selected with great
care. Every ear used was a show
ear. The selection of good seed
cannot be practiced with more vis-
ible results than in the selection OF
pure-bred seed corn.
