SUGGESTIONS ON
SELECTING SEED CORN
Field Selection Of Seed Means Greater
Yield and Better Corn.

Field selection of seed corn is Of too
much importance to be left to the av.
erage laborer; it is almost always a
good plan for the farm owner to su-
pervise the work. A great deal more
corn will be pulled than is needed. and
1t should be reselected in order to get
the ears that conform to a type.
There Is no argument that can be
used against this kind of seed selec-
tion," says A. F. Kidder, professor Of
sgronomy, Louisiana State University,
because it means more corn and bet
ter corn. When field-selection of seed
becomes more generally practiced in
Louisiana some of the money that our
farmers are now sending to the corn
belt will remain at home.
THE ear should be from four to
five feet high on land where peas are
to be sown in the corn.
Long shanks and good ears are sell
dom found on the same stalk. The
shank should be sufficiently long, how
ever, to allow the ear to bend over
when mature.
All ears Of corn not covered by
shuck are apt to be damaged by black
weevil and the corn ear worm.

field SELECTION OF
SEED IMPROVES CORN
Much More Profitable Than SslestIsa
From the Crib in Spring.

Seed corn should be selected from
stalks standing where they grew. b.
cause only then. with certainty. can
seed be obtained from
Stalks that have tendency to yield
we'll a. shown by the superiority over
surrounding stalks that grew under the
same conditions. Such seed inherits
high producing power.
Stalks without suckers. Such seed
produces fewer suckers than seeds
from sucker-bearing stalks.
Storm-proof stalks with ears at .
desirable height.
Seed corn should be selected as soon
as 1t natures, because
Desirable stalks. especially early ma.
turing stalks with hanging ears, are
then most easily found.
Warm, wet weather may cause ker.
nels to sprout before drying.
II the selection is delayed the ears
may become infested with wsevils.
grain moths, and their eggs.
1t is as easy, more satisfactory. and
much more profitable than selecting
from cribs in the spring.-L. s. u.

the State Fair of Louisiana Satur-
day, November 2, with the annual con-
test between the University Of Arkan-

For several years these universities
have been fighting their annual grid
iron battles at Shreveport during
the State Fair, with thousands Of col
lege boys and girls and former col
legians on hand to cheer and root
for their favorites. This years game
promises to be no exception-unless
the attendance is larger and the in
terest keener. The teams prepare
for this battle as one of the most i'm
portant of the season, and the contest
November 2 this year will no doubt
60 down In their annals as one mark
ed with tremendously hard fighting
for the honors.
In addition to the Arkansas-Louis-
lana game there will be many other
special attractions for the school and
college students, and School and Col
lege Day, as usual, is expected to
prove one of the biggest days at the
fair. Valuable lessons in production
and conservation and other things
helpful in winning the war will be
learned by the young folks as we'll as
by those who have finished school
and college.

had to move out of their homes Mon
day when the dykes could no longer
hold the water. The track between
Forsythe and Glendive have also been

merly resided here, is now stationed
in France where from last reports he
is working in the capacity of round

Mrs Forsblade was formerly Florence

ing their home at Forsythe it was
necessary to move and leave all their
belongings in the house, and with the
congestion of people due to having
to leave their homes it was impos-
hible to secure living quarters for
everybody. All of Forsythe was under
water with the exception Of only a
few blocks of Main street and homes
near there. Mrs. Forsblade plans OF
return to her home in few days and
will leave her children in Lark until
they are able to secure living quar-
tiers. Her sister, Miss Gladys Dean,
and sister-in-law, Mrs. Chas. Dean,
met her here and accompanied her to
Lark.
