SELECTING SEED

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture)
There is each spring a scarcity of
good seed corn. This condition is all
the more regrettable, because it need
not exist; and it is much more serious
than commonly supposed, because
many do not realize fully the tremen-
dous loss to themselves and the coun-
try due to the planting of inferior seed.
A full stand of plants may be obtained
from inferior seed, but the yield will
not be the best possible. The loss Is
due to delay or negligence. 1t can be
prevented by the selection of seed corn
in the autumn.
To be first class, seed must be:
1. OF a variety well adapted to the
seasonal and soil conditions where it
Is to be planted.
2. Grown on productive plants of
productive variety, showing all the de-
sirable characteristics.
3. Well matured, and preserved from
ripening time till planting time in such
manner as to retain its full vigor.

ments just enumerated has been dem.

Onstrated eXperimentally. The results
of the tests, given briefly, are as fol-
lows:
l. For series of five years, T. varie-
ties were tested in ten Northern states,
equivalent lots Of seed being used in
each state. Varieties that produced
most in some states were among the
poorest in others.
2. Seed ears taken from the highest
yielding rows of ear-to-row breeding
plats have repeatedly produced better
than seed ears taken from poorer
yielding rows. Seed ears from the best
producing stalks found in a general
field produced more than seed ears
taken without considering the produc-
tiveness of the parent stalks. AS the
result of selection work of this kind,
average acre yields on some farms
have been increased IS per cent in
decade.
8. Four bushels of ears were divided
into two equal parts, one part being
well taken care of and the other placed
In barn as corn is ordinarily cribbed.
The well-preserved seed gave a yield
on poor soil u per cent higher than
the poOrly-preserved and ~ per cent
higher on fertile soil notwithstanding
the fact that both lots of seed germi-
nated equally well.
Prevention Is Best
Seed corn that natures normally
and has been preserved properly will
grow satisfactorily. 1t is very poor
management to neglect proper pres
ervation and then spend time In the
spring separating by termination tests
those ears that have been badly dam
aged from those that have been slight
ly damaged. Prevention is better than
cure, and in this case n cure is i'm
possible.
If it is found necessary to plant seed
the vitality of which is at all doubt
full, each ear should be tested separate
ly and only those planted which germi-
nate perfectly.
If the only seed available for plant
ing is inferior in quality and vitality,
1t should be planted thick in order to
counterbalance imperfect termination
and to approximate perfect stands.
Poor stands are a frequent source of
poor yields. In nearly every locality
good farmers usually agree regarding
the stand that approximates the opti-
mum for normal soil and seasonal con-
ditions. Stands markedly inferior to
the Optimum give an increase in size
of ears, but a decrease in total yield.
Loss may be sustained from too thick
stand, which causes a decrease in
size of ears and in total yields.

ing seed corn requires the corn grow
er'S entire attention. If he will get
the very best that is to be had and pre-
serve it well, his increased yields will
return him more profit than any other
work he can do on his farm.
In IS years investigations conducted
upon Scioto river bottom soil near
PiketOn, o., with WOODBURY. White
Dent, United States selection II, the
yield was raised from an average Of 60
bushels Of dry shelled corn for the
period from 1901 to 1907 to an average
of 70 bushels for the period from 1907
to 1913. The principal influence pro-
ducing this increase in yield was the
selection and care of seed corn.
Ears to Select.
AS soon as the crop ripenS, the first
step is to go through the field with
Seed-picking bags, and musk the ears
from the stalks that have produced the
most corn without having had any
special advantages as to space, mOis-
ture or fertility. The large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unusual
amount Of space around them should
be avoided. Preference should be
given the plants that have produced
most heavily in competition with a
full stand of less productive plants. In
all localities the Inherent tendency Of
the plant to produce heavily Of sound,
dry, shelled corn is of most impor-
lance.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in a dry
place with free circulation of air and
placed in such position that the ears
do not touch each other. This is the
only safe procedure. Good seed is re-
ruined because of the belief
that it is already dry enough when
gathered and that the precautiOn men,
toned above is unnecessary.
In localities where weevils and grain
moths injure stored grain, the thor
oughly dry ears should be stored In
very tight mouse-proof receptacles,
with one pound of moth balls or naph-
thalene inclOsed for each bushel Of
corn. This quantity tightly inclosed
with the corn will prevent damage
from these insects and will not injure
the seed.

prepared by the United States Depart

Harvesting peanuts before they are
mature, as is often the case among
inexperienced growers, Is responsible
for considerable loss in the Weld Of
marketable peanuts. A few of the
peanuts are very likely to mature and
sprout during rainy weather before
the crop is ready to be dug. The vines
assume yellOwish appearance when
the crop Is mature, which is usually,
but not always, a good indication as
to the proper time for harvesting.
This, together with the turning brown
and falling off OF the lower leaves,
and the plump appearance of the pods
should be the guide in determining the
maturity of the crop.
After the crop has been dug the
vines should be stacked before the
leaves become dry and have fallen off,

The stacks should be small and placed
around poles provided with two cross
pieces nailed to the pole ten to twelve
inches from the ground to support the
vines. After curing in stacks for a
few weeks peanuts can be hauled to
the barn and stored without danger of
loss.
Some growers who find 1t difficult to
obtain poles rake the peanuts into
windows with a hay rake and then
stack them like hay. This method
requires a longer time for proper cur

stacks are made and the peanuts are
