VALUE OF FIELD
SELECTION OF SEED CORN

In order that variety of corn
be kept up to a high standard of
vigor and productiveness it is nee
essary that only the stronger grow
ing, healthy and productive plants
be selected for seed plants. 1t is,
of course, true that like tends to
produce like and this is just as true
i'm corn or other plants as with ami
mails. The ideal time then to select
seed corn is while the plants are
standing full and strong in the field
for then we can study the plant it
self and also study its environment.
A vrey large proportion of the
grains on an ear of corn are cross
fortified and it is, of course, de-
sirable that the pollen should come
only from healthy vigorous plants.
It is reasonable to assume that most
of the pollination is from nearby
plants, therefore by taking care
that the seed ears collected does not
stand near to a barren or weak plant
we can do much to eliminate the
weak individuals from the variety.
One can also pick a type of plant
that most nearly suits his ideals.
From the standpoint of ease of
the crop the stalk should
not be overly tall and the ear should
be borne at a medium distance from
the ground. II is very easy to grad
ually bring a variety of corn to
type that is desired. Field selection
also has the advantage in that it re-
quires early gathering and drying.
This is decidedly the most impor-
tant factor of all in procuring good
seed corn and the man who prac-
tees field selection is bound to pro-
cure these advantages according to
the Department of Agronomy. of the
College of Agriculture.

MONROE COUNTY IN LINE

Monroe county. Mo. is going in
strong for Thrift and Saving this
year, and if the plans outlined and
adopted by the educational authori-
ties at a meeting in Paris recently
are carried out, Monroe county will
profit vastly.
The directors from all of the
school districts, and the teachers
who will preside over the destinies
of the rural schools in the big Mis-
souri, county, met in convention at
Paris, and it was decided that thrift
and systematic saving should be in
cluded in the regular curriculum and
that at least one period each week
should be devoted to the subject.
As investment is one of the most
important topics it was decided that
the pupils should be urged to invest
their small savings in Thrift Stamps
with the ultimate aim of obtaining
interest bearing War Savings
Stamps or United States Treasury
Savings Certificates.

special relief trains. To meet the
needs Of the stricken. the organization
set up ten relief stations. operated
