SHELL SEED CORN By HAND
Examine Kernels from Each Ear and
Reject Defective Grains Says
Agricultural College

Seed corn should be Ghelled by
hand. says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, which advises
care in every step connected with
seed selection.
After seed corn has been selected
from the most productive stalks a.
they stand In the field in competition
with other surrounding stalks, and
stored in a dry place free from in
sects and rodents, the Job is only
half done. Smelling Is one Of the most
important of the tasks.
Seed ears should first be nubbed
and the kernels from tip and butt
should be discard from the seed sup
ply. The small kernels from the tips
are less productive than the other
kernels on the ear; the blunt, thick,
rounded kernels from the butts are
just as productive as any Of the rest,
but because Of their shape and size
they do not plant uniformly when
used in a corn planter with other
kernels.
Smelling by Hand Profitable
Smelling by hand takes more time
and labor but is profitable. The me-
chanical corn shelter is likely TO in
jure the germ tips Of the individual
grains, and to thus destroy or impair
their power to terminate. No matter
how large the required supply, says
the department, it will still pay to
shell it painstakingly by manual lab
or, because the greater the acreage
to be planted, the greater the ulti-
mate profit.
Each ear should be shelled separ-
ately into O shallow pan or box, and
every blemished, misshapen, or
worm eaten kernel should be reject
ed. As the seed from each ear is
found satisfactory and free from
poor kernels, it is poured into the
general supply, and another ear is
shelled in the same way. It is much
easier to pick out defective grains
from a single layer in a small recep-
tacle than from q large mingled
in bushel measure or a bag.

FIVE CITIES EXPECTED TO APPLY
TO LEGISLATURE FOR Pho
POSED SCHOOL.
TWO CITIES IN THE LEAD
Green Bay and RhineIander Will Make
Strongest Bid for Institution
Board of Regent Silent on
Question.

Madison-The northeastern part of
the state will, it is expected, make a
demand of this legislature for a new
normal school. Tho question was agi-
tated before the last session, but ac-
tion was deferred, largely because the
members of the legislature felt that
the school at Eau Claire should be put
into operation before a new school was
established. The talk of the session
two years ago and the sentiment ex-
pressed by some of the members this
year would indicate that at least four
cities will file applications: Green Bay,
Rhinelander, Shawano and Amigo, and
possibly Oconto.
OF these two cities, Green Bay and
Rhinelander will be leaders, largely
because of the fact that Senator Tim
othy Burke of Green Bay and Senator
w. T. Stevens of Rhinelander have
large followings in each of the houses.
So far the members of the board of
normal regents have declined to make
any comment on the situation.
At present, there are nine normal
schools in the state: Eau Claire, La
Crosse, Whitewater, Platteville, Mil
waukee, River Falls, Oshkosh, Super
Tor and Stevens Point. The whole
northeast section between Oshkosh.
Stevens Point, Superior and the north
east boundary of the state, has no nor
