Corn yields can be increased more
surely and cheaply by the use Of
good seed than in any other way, says
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture. Unless a community has
an experienced and honest corn breed
er, the best place for the farmer to
get seed corn is from the fields on his
farm or in his neighborhood which
were planted with variety that has
proved successful in the locality. The
time for selecting seed corn in the
field is almost here and preparations
for handling the seed should soon be
under way.
In selecting corn for seed the ears
should be taken from stalks which
yield best in competition with others.
Picking the seed corn direct from the
field will give the farmer a chance to
do this, and also to get ears that are
free from disease and hang at a
height convenient for husking. Droop-
ing ears which shed rain readily usu-
ally will give the best seed, while in
the South it is necessary to choose
cars that are well protected from in
sects by long, tight husk covering.
The same day the seed is gathered
it should be hung in dry, airy place.
One of the best ways to cure seed
corn is to hang it from the rafters of
a barn or open shed, care being taken
to see that it is thoroughly dry before
there is danger Of fseezing. After it

Succumbing to an attack Of acute
indigestion, Oliver H. Kefauver, sew

died at his home after being ill for

years, a retired farmer, and who had
been ill for two weeks, died at his
Middletown home.

is we'll cured, store the corn in dry
place where it will not be damaged
by mice, rats, birds, and insects. The
corn that produces the best crop is
cheapest in the long run and care in
selecting and handling seed corn will
be more than repaid by increased
yields.
