Selecting Seed Corn

Now is the time to think about next
years supply OF seed corn. No human
being knows enough about seed corn
to select the best after 1t has been
pulled and stored in the crib. The
only proper place to select it is right
in the field, and the only time is be-
fore it has been cut or pulled.
About the time the corn is ready for
cutting, go through the field and care
fully select the stalks that are desired
for seed purposes. .ut these and shock
in the end OF the field.
In selecting seed corn be sure I.
keep in mind that like begets like;
therefore select stalks that show nor
NAL growth, stand erect, with the ears
pointing downward at an angle OF
about as degrees and about three and
one half or four feet from the ground
An ear pointing upward is more liable
to damage from rain, birds and worms
See that the shuck fits close and that
II has a good, stout lengthy shank. Dc
not pick stalks that have unusual
chances, such as standing in a low
place or in or near a manure pile. But
take those that have developed the
best under average and normal condi-
tons. Be sure to see that it did moi
grow near a barren stalk.
Now this will be some trouble but
not as much as some people think. One
can easily gather enough in one day
to plant 40 or so acres allowing Is ears
to the acre. 1t is entirely possible tc
increase the yield the first year one
bushel per acre by proper selection.
Shuck the corn as soon as 1t is well
cured and store 1t in a dry loft or other
place. Don't leave the shuck on as
this invites weavil and other damages
Do not store in piles as this may re-
suit in lowering the vitality Of the
corn.
BY observing the above precautions
this fall we may evade corn panic
like we had this year.
shall be only too glad to visit any
farmer in the county and assist him in
this selection when he is ready If he
viii only let me know.
Yours truly,
G. @. Baker,
County Agent

IN MEMORY.

r. b. Hutchinson dearted this life
on August 16, 1918. age rs years, eight
months and 10 days. He was the
youngest son OF the late Joseph Hutch
inson and was born and raised at the
old Hutchinson home. Had lived since
his marriage to Miss Ethel Shannon, on
Jan. 80, 1914, at Torchlight, and lately
Catlettsburg He made many friends
wherever he lived by his genial disro-
sition and will be greatly missed by
them. He left wife, two sons, Roland
and Joseph Shannon, three sisters,
Mrs. Joe O'Neal, Rainier, Ore. Mrs.
Ella Burchett, Lucasville, o., and Miss
Georgia Hutchinson, and three broth
ers, Elwood, Asbury and Allen.
Everything that loving hearts could
do was done to relieve the terrible in
tense suffering, but nothing could stay
the grim monster" who turks in the
shadows, and r. Il. had to go.
About two or three months before
his death. he was happily converted
and was perfectly ready to pass on.
He was laid to rest in the Hutchin-
son city of dead in plain view of the
old home where he was always so con-
tented to be.
A large crowd of sorrowing rela-
tives and friends paid the last tribute
of respect by attending his funeral
which was ably conducted by Rev.
HI. b. Hewlett, of Louisa.
We wish to express our sympathy to
the bereaved and to ask them not to
mourn for r. B., for his sufferings
are over and he would not exchange
places with any of us.
The pearly gates were opened wide
A gentle voice said come"
And angels from the other side
Welcomed our loved one home.
