GUIDE YOUR BOY NOW.

Keep Him on the Road hat Leads to
the Highest Citizenship.
This is a good time to think Of your
hoy, If you do not look after him in
the right way some one will do it in
the wrong way. Begin now.
Teach your boy to follow in the foot
steps of his father, to respect the law,
to obey his parents, to regard the
rights of all men, to honor virtue, to
respect womanhood and to depend
upon no one but himself for his ad-
yancement.
Teach him that the Golden Rule of
life will be found In the Ten Com.
mandments, They are short. They
have survived the ages. They stand
today unchanged and unchallenged,
They comprise the first great written
law given by GOD to man, Before
these few commandments all man
made laws fade into ipsignificance.
Teach them to your boy. There Is dan.
ger ahead If you do not.
The universal drift of mankind is to
ward %decadence. Heredity pays its
premium and also eXacts its discount
The son of a good father and an affec.
tionate mother, brought up in an at
mospheie of parental regard, never
will disgrace the family.
The boys of today are to be the men
If tomorrow. The destinies of the
American people are to be in the hands
| Of their sons. If the boys are taught
| respect for the law (both human and
diyine), obedience to authority, manly
Independence and the fear of God this
| great nation will be a noble monument
to mans capacity for self government
aud self control at a time when all the
world is a seething cauldron of unrest
unreason and disbelief.

prevent this all of the barren stalks in
every row should either be removed or
detaSseled before the pollen is ripe.
Before the corn is mature some of the
rows which exhibit inferior qualities
such as TALL slender stalks, few ears, and
a large number of barren stalks, will
be eliminated. Then from the destasSel-
ed portion of the finest appearing high
yielding rows, select a number of the
most desirable plants and harvest the
ears from these stalks for seed. Then
count the stalks on each of the best
rows and harvest the remaining ears.
These should be weighed and the weight
of the specially selected seed ears ada
ed to it. This sum when divided by the
total number of plants in the row
will give the actual yield of corn
per plant, which is a more accurate cr1-
terion upon which the relative values or
the different rows can be based, than
simply to take the total yield per row.
The detasseled portion of the rows with
the highest plant yielding capacity are
the ones from which the seed ears should
be saved for next years breeding patch,
and the remaining good ears of these
rows should be planted in the general
field or sold for seed.
There is always a demand for good
seed corn and any one who will do the
little extra work incident to its pro-
duction will have frequent visits from
his neighbors to inspect his seed patch,
and the next spring he will have all the
orders for seed corn that he can fill, at i
good price.
beginning is all that is necessary for
usually it becomes the most interesting
part of farm life, and the farmer who
makes more ears per acre than any IF
his neigbhbors can always point to his
breeding patch with pride.
Atlanta semi-weekly journal. (Atlanta, Ga.) 1898-1920, 1917-01-26

is a common practice among farmers not
to use for seed, kernels from the butts
and tips of the ears. Experiments have
shown that these kernels are as good as
any for planting and would yield as We'll
as those taken from the middle of the
ear, but il is best to remove the large
and small irregular shaped kernels -
the seed is TO be planted with corn
planter. for only the fiat kernels will
pass through the machine. For the
breeding patch. however, where the
dropping is done by hand all of the
kernels may be planted.
We cannot attempt to do all of the
foregoing work to obtain seed for
large farm, but it requires very little
time to caefully select enough ears to
plant a small area such as an acre or
half acre. This area should be crefully
selected for uniformity so as not to have
very fertile spots and old worn places
or water burrows in it. If possible 1t
should be located several hundred yards
from any other corn field to prevent 1T
becoming fertilized or cross-bred by
wind blowing the pollen from one field
to another. The soil should be deply
plowed and carefully prepared so the
seed can be properly planted.
While the corn from all of the select
ed ears may be mixed and planted as
any other corn. it would not be best to
plant the breeding patch in such hap
hazard way. The ear-to-row method OF
planting is a far better method Of OBJ
tanning rapid improvement. Each ear
should be regarded as a distinct strain.
Each has a different ability to reproduce
and in order to know the best producing
strain, each ear or a portion Of each ear
should be planted in a row to itself.
Usually differences can be seen in the

Preparing For the Corn Crop

rows from tn very beginning, some rows
coming up earlier than others. Later Il
noticeable difference may be observed in
the rapidity of growth and the uniform
ity of plants. Then in the fall some will
be found to mature much earlier than
others. Several rows will probably be
so poor and contain so many stalks with
out ears that they will be eliminated
from consideration for seed before har-
vesting time.
Corn is by nature a cross-poIlinated
plant. The structure of the flowers and
their location on the plant favor this
method. The breeder should help ma
ture in this work by insuring cross-pol-
lipation. This can be done by pulling
the tassels out of the plants before the
anthers begin shedding their masses. Of
yellow, dusty pollen. This can most
easily be done early in the morning
when the tassel stem is brittle. Grasp
the tassel with one hand and give quick
upward jerk which easily separates it
from the plant. Since numerous expert
ments have long since shown that cross
polinated corn is more vigorous as well
as more productive, it is important that
every ear soved for seed come from a de-
tasseled stalk. Likewise we want to
save seed ears only from the highest
yielding rows. Remove the taSsels from
half of each row, then regardless of
which rows are the highest yielders, we
have half of the plants in each of them
detasseled from which the seed ears may
be selected.
The ears on the detasseled stalk will,
Of course, be cross-polinated and every
precaution should be taken to secure as
good cross as possible. For instance,
it would be undesirable to select ears for
seed that received pollen from stalk
which produced no ears, and in order TO
