and insect injury.
How to Gather Seed Corn.
All business should be dropped at
corn ripening time in orGer to select
an abundance of seed corn. The
work of selecting seed corn is too i'm
portant to be conducted incidentally
while husking the corn from the
crib. We should give the selection
of seed corn our entire attention and
select for the one most important
character, the power to yield we'll.
The proper method to use in the
selection OF seed corn is from the
stalks standing in the field. as soon as
the ears are ripe and before the first
hard frost. When the corn is well
matured, we should go through the
field with a picking bag and select
the ears from the stalks that have
produced the most good corn with
out having had any special advantage,
such as excess Of space, moisture, or
fertility. Avoid the large ears on
stalks standing singly with an unus-
ual amount Of space around them.
(The treatment Of seed corn imme-
diately after gathering and the stor-
ing of seed corn will appear in the
next isSue.)

Selection Of Seed Corn .

Autumn is the time to prepare for
a profitable corn crop in the follow
ing season. The following sugges-
tions should prove more valuable and
timely than any suggestions that can
be offered next spring regarding seed
corn. It's object is to prevent a
scarcity of first-class seed corn next
spring. This scarcity can be prevent
ed by selecting the seed corn when it
is most abundant and when the very
best can be obtained, at ripening
time, before it has been in any way
reduced in vitality. There are many
Of the farmers of today who depend
entirely upon the method Of selecting
their seed corn from the corn-crib just
before planting time. 1t is very un-
satisfactory to select seed corn by this
method, because we are unable to
know the conditions under which the
corn grew. We should lay down that
old method of selecting seed corn
and wake up to the realization that
methods continue to change with the
times.
Unless a community has an exper-
fenced corn breeder, the best place
for the farmer to obtain seed corn is
from the fields on his farm or in his
neighborhood which were planted
with a variety that generally has
proved successful in the locality.
What Constitutes Good Seed Corn.
/. Corn that is we'll adapted to the
climatic and soil conditions found in
the community in which the corn is
planted.
