SELECT SEED CORN IN FIELD

Clemson College, The yield of
corn. can be increased very mater
tally and very cheaply by the, use Of
better seed, and better seed may be
secured through the selection in the
field. Seed corn that will produce
the largest crop Of good corn is near
ly always the cheapest seed to use.
1t is not only possible to increase
the yeiid Of corn but it is also posi-
bic to very materially improve 'the
quartity and uniformity of the seed
This latter point IS of great value
in case we wish to sell any part of
the crop, as corn of good quality
and uniformity will bring much bet
ter prices on the market than will
mixed and uneven lots of corn.
It is best to make our selection of
seed in the field where we can see
not only the size of ear but the stalk
on which it grew and the number of
ears per stalk, says Prof C. P. Black
we'll. Agronomist, in making the fol-
lowing suggestions.
Seed corn should be selected in
the field from stalks that grow un-
der normal conditions that are free
from disease. preferably from stalk
having two good ears to the stalk.
If selection is made in the crib we
are likely to select ears that are
grown under unusal conditions and
probably with only one ear to the
stalk. We should also select ears
that are well protected from insects
by long shuck which covers the
ear tightly.
Seed corn when gathered should
be hung in dry airy place 1t should
not be allowed to freeze until
thoroughly dry. After it is we'll
cured it should be stored in a dry
place where it will remain secure
from mice, rats, birds and insects.
Well-cured seed corn will produce
a much better yield than corn not
properly cured.

Have You Planted Green Feed For
Your Chickens?

Green feeds are very necessary
part of the hens ration and should
be supplied to her when confined in
small yards and during the winter
after the frost has killed the vegeta-
ition. Free range or large yards kept
in grass, alfalfa or clover will fur
s1ish ideal green feed. Where smaller
yards are used, they should be di-
yided, if possible, into two parts and
used alternately, planting the va
can't yard several times with quick
growing green crop, such as rape,
bats, wheat, rye or barley. In this
way, green feed is supplied and it
helps to keep the ground clean and
sweet. Other green feeds that can
be fed, especially in winter are
sprouted oats, alfalfa meal, chopped
alfalfa, clover hay, cabbage, and
mangel: beets. Cabbage can be fed by
!suspending them by means of cord
hung up in the poultry house and the
birds receive some exercise while
eating. The beets are usually split
and stuck on a nail on the side wall
of the poultry house. When oats are
used for sprouting, they should be
of a good grade. Soak them over
night in warm water and spread out
one-half to 1 inch thick on trays
that have perforated bottoms. Water
the oats thoroughly each day and
turn the trays around, so as to bring
each side to the light, in order to
encourage an even growth. Keep the
tray in a temperately heated place,
and stir the oats each day until the
sprouts begin to form. Sprouted oats
are fed when the sprouts are from 2
to inches high. The sod is removed,
broken into chunks, and fed in
troughs or on clean litter. From 1 to
2 square inches for each hen should
be fed at noon.

Why Green and Succulent Feeds
Are Necessary.
/. Fowls need succulence to keep
them in condition and to keep the
digestive tracts in working order.
2. 1t acts as tonic and stimu-
lates the appetite.
3. 1t furnishes large amount of
water and thus adds bulk to the ra-
tion.
4. 1t is undoubtedly one of the
factors causing egg production.
5. 1t improves the fertility and
Matching quality of the egg, and the
vitality of the chick.
