The Department of Agriculture
recognizing this influence, has used
this method in breeding up high
yielding strains of corn.
However this process is much more
complicated than here noted. These
selected strains from ear $50 which
is a cross between IA Old Hickory
and Sd Boon county White has re-
suited in an excellent corn for this
section. Mr. R. c. Cartex, Berry
vile, has used this corn and got ex-
cellent rsults. He has sold all of his
seed. However the same corn may
yet be obtained from w. r. Gray,
Oakton, Fairfax county, Va. The
corn is graded and will be sent any
one on receipt of $500 per bushel.
This corn is said to be early and q
good yielder. 1t is possible to in
crease corn yields tc 10 per cent
with improved seed.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.
Picking Seed Corn.

According to some experiments
coming from the Ohio Station rela-
tive to influence of the points" in
selecting seed corn,on yield. In gen.
eral it was found that ears showing
cob at the tip gave as good a yield
as when the tip was covered com
pletely. Also ears about nine inches
gave as much yield>as those about six
inches long. That ears with high
per cent of grain gave as much corn
as ears with a relative low per cent
That the tip and butt grains gave as
good yields as the middles. Taper
ing ears as good as cylindrical. That
is these points seem to have no infiu-
ence of increased yields of corn per
acre.

Stockman and Farmer, test of rs

planted from each ear. The yields
