2. Of high yielding variety and
from high yielding stalks of tt at var
iety.
3. Well matured and preserved
from ripening time until planting
time in a manner that will retain its
full vitality.
4. Free from disease and insect
injury. Such freedom may indicate
resistance to infection.
AS soon as the crop natures, go
through the field with a picking bag
and select ears from the stalks that
have produced the most good corn
without having had any special ad-
vantages such as excess of space,
moisture, or fertility. Avoid the large
ears on stalks standing singly with
an unusual amount of space around
them. Preference should be given the
plants that have produced most
stand of vigorous plants. A we'll
balanced stalk bearing two good ears
will usually be found to have produc-
ed as much seed as any other stalk.
Both ears are equally valuable Tor
seed, even though one may be much
smaller than the other.
In the Central and Southern States,
all other things being equal, short
thick stalks are preferable. They are
not so easily blown down, and in gen
cral are more productive than slender
ones. In the more northern States
two varieties are desirablc-an carly
variety for grain and a later,
rankcr- growing one for ensilage. 1t
is an eXcellcry plan to select enough
seed for two years.
EIuskcd ears Of seed corn should be
put in a dry place with free circula-
ton Of air on the day they are pick
ed. They should be placed so that the
ears do not touch each other. They
may be hung on a string, or a hatrack
device can easily be made by cutting
an electrically welded wire-mesh SO
as to leave one strand with short
cross wires sticking out at intervals.
After hanging in the shed or lying on
the racks foh two months the seed
ears should be dry enough to keep
safely and may be stored in moth
proof barrels, boxes, or crates, but
should not be exposed to damp at

drainage structures that the latter
will save the road from destruction.
In sections where the flood tends
to spread out, wide BERN on eadh
side of the roadway makes sub
stantial protection. The borrow pit
provides material for the embankment
and serves as diversion drain. Some
times short concrete dip is used for
the purpose of passing to water over
the road in Il comparatively wide and
shallow flow instead of under it. A
dip is simply a pavement extending
the full width of the roadway and
protected at each edge against under
mining by cutoff wall extending 18
inches below the bottom of the pave
ment. Instead of Attempting to
build up grade for this pavement,
so as to raise it above the flood water,
the dip follows the grade cf the
wash, and the water passes over it il,
time of flood Where the deltas are
so wide and the country so undevcl-
oped as to make the cost of a con-
crete dip excessive, the dips are sur
faced with gravel and the downstream
edge is protected by concrete cut
off wall. In connection with these
drainage dips V-shaped system of
dikcs and bitches is used, convcrging
toward the road if it is desired to
lead the flow from two or more wash
es to single dip, and diverging %
ward the road when it is better to
split the flow of single stream to

Prepare for Next Years Crop
Now, or a little later, American
farmers have an opportunity to start
increasing next years corn crop by
the selection of seed. Every spring
there is frantic search for good seed

much inferior seed planted, with re-
sulting inferior yields. The loss is
largely due to delay or negligence

Any intelligent farmer can go into

and select better seed than he can buy
next spring. Unless a community has
an experienced and honest corn breed

obtain seed corn is from the fields on

generally proved successful in that

of recent commentators that grades

be so widely separated as they have

the influence now proved to have been

exaggerated-so sensational a depar-

IMMENSE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT
ARE LAID UPON AMERICAN LABOR

not only in many cases complicate la.
Dor problems but will add to them
something which very shrewd men in
sist will work to the advantage of La
Dor and of society in the end"
Thomas A. Edison Is not the only
man with a vision who has recently
spoken in cheerful prophecy concern
ing labor in America. Mr.. Edison has
been called a conservative. Other men
Of more radical view are not less con.
fident of advance, and Labor day this
year acquires a high significance as an
occasion for confident, constructive,
rallying cries. What the coming year
may bring forth as to the vexed mat
ter of industrial democracy no one
may now surely foretell but even the
most reticent or reactionary Of OBJ
servers have seemed ready to believed
Instances of broadly conceived expert
ments are already giving occasion for
eager speculation.
But aside from the vital and far
reaching question Of organization or
cooperation, the answers to which are
not without presumption to be pre-
dicted, the outstanding fact of the
hour is the worlds growing recogni-
ton of labor's relationship to all that
is implied by the significant word Re-
construction. REIMBURSEMENT might be
a word of equal significance. 1t has
been said again and again in varying
ways that labor must reconstruct the
world, and in that reconstruction, be-
cause the United States must play SO
important part, American labor must
assume immense responsibilities.
