10O,OOO,O00 BusHEL
CORN CROP IN 1877 IS
SLOGAN.

"One hundred million bushels
of corn in 1917 to celebrate the
one hundredth anniversary. OF
Mississippi" is the slogan adopted
by the state demonstration forces
aud corn club workers in their
fall campaign.
According to assistant state
agent Q. A. Cobb, the prospects
are that the 1917 corn acreage
will be greatly increased and
if properly selected seed is plant
ed one hundred million busheI
crop can easily be realized.
"With good seed" he continues
an increase in yield of from 3 to5
bushels to the acre may be ex-
pected the first year.
In this connection Mr.. Cobb is
sending out the following g pf"l
suggestions on selecting seed
corn in the field this fall.
/. The seed stalk should be
from s to 10 feet tall.
2. The base of the stalk should
be large and somewhat flat.
3. The blades of the seed stalk
should be broad and long.
4 The seed stalk should taper
gently from the base to the tas
sci.
3. In all prolific varieties there
should be at least two fully de.
veloped ears to each tassel.
6. The ears on the seed stalk
should be well placed, one on
each side OF the stalk, about four
feet from tne ground.
7. The seed ears should be
borne upon short stout shanks
4 to five inches long that permit
the ears to hang down.
s. The stalk from which 'seed
ears are to be selected should NOT
occupy more than normal room
should not stand at the end
IF skips nor at the end of row
Select stalk that has fought its
way and won.
8. Every stalk in the vicinity
of the seed stalk should be well
fruited. If barren or weak
stalks stand near normal stalk
the ears from the normal stalk
will not be suitable for seed.
10 Be careful to select stalks that
are free from disease and that
do not stand near diseased sta lks,
IL. 1t will be noticed in going
through the field that those stalks
that clay by" last, or that re.
main growing despite wet or
dry spells, are the ones that bear
the heaviest ears. This persist
ent quality is certainly to be de-
sired.
II Every seed ear should be
snugly covered by the shuck.
