of the ears hang downward, a.
such ears shed rain better and are
less likely to be damaged. Another
desirable characteristics is uni
rormily i'm maturity. Only by field
selection can we hope to influence
the type of plant.
Experiments have not shown that
amy particular type of ear is better
than another, as far as yield is con-
ccrncd. Thus the grower may sui;
his own fancy in selecting a type
Of ear. Uniformity Of type is de-
sirablc, however, as an indication
of careful selection and breeding.
II is natural to select large ears
for seed and there is some evidence
that the section Of large ears may
have some influence upon yield.
Rules for Selecting Seed Corn
I. From hills with two stalks
checked.
>. From stalks bearing two or
more ears. or one good ear.
3. From good-sized stalks.
4. Medium height stalks.
,. Ears Of proper height from the
ground from 4 to feet.
6. shank of medium length, ear
pendant changing over.
:. Ears of good length.
g. Ears we'll rounded over the
tips and butts.
9. Ears large around.
10. Ears with small cob and large
kernels.
If. Ears with wedge-shaped ker-
nels.
T.. Ears with grains in straight
rows.
l3. Ears with grains plump and
firm on the cob.
IL. Ears with grains rather smooth
Tented.
10. Ears with grains not mixed

The first seven rules apply to Sc
Getting from cOrnheld. Go through

SELECTING SEED CORN

SbLbN iNU otbD bOhN
The great shortage of corn suita-
bile for seed over a large part OF
Kentucky two years ago threatened
for a time 10 result in serious re-
duction in acreage of this most inn
portant crop owing TO the fortun.
ate fact that considerable corn in
southwestern Kentucky was found
lo hc of good quality, this danger
was avcrtcd and farmers were able
to obtain sufficient seed Of a fair
quality but with considerable trou-
bile and expense.
Much of the seed bought was Of
Nariclic, uutricd iu the sections
where it was used and ITS is doubt
nl if "a, good results will be OBJ
tanned as from homegrown seed
of tested varieties.
The careless practice Of depend.
ing upon corn taken from the crib
in the spring for planting was re-
sponsiblc for the shortage of seed.
The 1917 crop matureh late and. be-
cause of unfavorable drying wealth
err, the grain contained a large per-
ccntagc of wafer when put into the
crib. Corn dries out slowly i'm cribs,
due To the limited circulation of
air and most of the moisture was
still i'm the grains when the severe
freezing weather came in early De-
ccmhcr. As a result the germ was
destroyed The few farmers who
gathered seed when the corn first
ripened. or even when the first
huSking was done,y and gave it an
opportunity TO dry out quickly, had
good seed. This shows that even
with the extremely unfavorable and
unusual climatic conditions prevail
ing two years ago shortage of seed
i unnecessary.
Certainly. with the experience of
two years ago so fresh in mind, few
farmer will neglect to gather an
adequate supply Of seed this fall at
the earliest opportunity. In these
critical years in our history when
such great issues depend upon the
production Of good crops, we must
take every precaution TO produce
such crops. No other factor is
more important in getting good
yields of corn than good seed and
with no other crop is it easier and
cheaper to be assured Of having
good seed. FirSt-class seed cannot
be had in any year by getting 1t
from the crib in the spring. While
such seed may grow, it will not
give as vigorous and strong plants
as seed that has been properly !
cared for.
How to Select Seed
Selecting oed from the field Just /
previous to cutting the crop, or
when the corn is ripe enough to
cut, is by far the most satisfactory
method of selection. Not only does
his early gathering insure plenty
Of time for the ears TO dry out
thoroughly before freezing weather
lut it permits the selection of ears
rom the most vigorous and healthy
plants and from the stalks that
most nearly meet the growers
deal in regard TO height, location
If ear, the angle OF the ear, etc.
ike produces like, and continued
selection for these characteristics
will tend to produce a strain OF
.orn in which all the plants ap-
roach the ideal sought for.
In general, we may say that the
of corn grown in Kentucky
would be improved if we could Sc
'ure more stOcky and shorter
plants, with the ears carried uni
ormly lower down on the stalk.
such a type Of corn would be easier
