CORN FOR SEED MATURING.

L- The weather man is on the side of the farmer this season so far as seed corn is concerned. Last year the kill ing frost early in September caught the corn. unmatured and resulted in the poorest assortment of seed corn eyer seen in this region. The corn this year is now well matured and there wil be plenty of seed corn in the best of condition for next seasons needs. Inspection of many fields shows that the corn is now well glazed over and a frost at an early date would not do much damage If the frost keeps on two weeks longer, the corn will be m the best condition and there will be an abundance Of ears to choose from.
 The agricultural experts are urging that a sufficient supply of seed corn should be saved for two years as no one can tell what the conditions will be next year. With a two-year's sup ply of seed there would not be any danger of such a serious shortage as occurred last spring. The germinat- ing powers of corn are in no way di- unfinished by storage under proper con dfttons for several years.
 The question of selecting seed corn ears in the field from the growing stalks instead of at husking time is pertinent one. The experiments which have been tried and records which have been kept, indicate that such practice does not result in any increase in the yield. On the other hand. selection from the growing stslks makes it posSibleeee to take only those ears which mature first. Tn thts section the big thing is to get early maturing strains and it is prob- able that persistent selection of the cars which mature first for use as making a material gain in this direc- seed the following year will result in ton.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS

oats or wheat out in the field. each year a harvest time? Yet this large percentage of the feed value of corn is wasted when corn is husked and the stalks left in the field. In dollars and cents the, loss amounts to $32.50 an acre, when corn is yielding fifty bush els an acre.
 Even when the dry stalks are fed as roughage the loss is not. completely avoided. When corn is cured in the shock the loss of feed runs very high, due to lamentations and loss of leaves; and only the leaves are eaten unless the stalks are shredded.
 When corn is put into the silo this waste of feed is avoided. As silage the cornstalks are all consumed Even frosted corn makes satisfactory silage if harvested quickly Dry shock fodder may be put into the silo late in the season and makes good silage if water is added. s
