IMPROVED CORN
FOR MINNESOTA
Change in Ideas As to Seed
Selection is Expected to
Bring Results.

Edif TED. BY the Agricultural Extension
Dept University Of Minnesota.
A change Of emphasis in selecting
seed corn, according to a bulletin by
H. X. Hayes, assisted by Lee Alex
ander, just issued by the Minnesota
Agricultural Experiment station, gives
promise Of improvements In corn
adapted to various Minnesota local
tiles.
This is the way Mr.. Hayes states
the case in his bulletin:
Experiments appear to show
that an adapted variety of corn
can be kept in a constant state Of
Improvement by selecting on the
basis Of vigor without close atten-
ton to score card ear type.
BY this Mr.. Hayes does not mean to
say that 1t is necessary or desirable
to have a mixture Of colors of seeds,
but that ear type will take care Of It.
self II selection is made, under con-
ditions of competition, on the basis Of
vigor Of plant. What he means by
vigor of plant Is, in part at least, seen
in this: 1T appears desirable to Sc
lect plants which are green when the
ear approaches maturity; that is,
plants which do not ripen premature
ly"
This is significant, though not a very
striking departure from the former
point OF view. 1t means, however, that
close selection for type of ear is less
desirable than close attention to the
vigor of the plants from which seed
ears are taken:
The findings referred to are based
on experiments which have been car
ried on for several years at the Min
nesota Experiment station, and from
which the author of the bulletin draws
the following general conclusions for
the farmer:
1t Is important to grow a variety
Of corn we'll adapted to your To-
cality.
Corn seed should be selected
from perfect stand hills and from
vigorous, healthy stalks. Plants
which are green when the ear ap-
proaches maturity insure normal
maturity of ear.
Close selection for ear type
leads to a reduction in yielding
ability. For this reason no close
selection for ear type should be
made.
Proper, storing Of seed ears is
fully as important as methods of
seed selection.
A first-generation cross between
an early flint and later dent ap-
pears Of promise for northern Min
nesota.
In order to obtain benefit from a
INSTRUMENTATION cross the crossed
seed must be produced each year.
Crossed seed can be obtained by
planting the varieties to be crossed
In alternate rows, and detasseling
all of one variety before the silks
Of that variety appear. To cross
an early with 9. later variety, it is
necessary to plant the late variety
several days. before the early va
riety, so that both may mature at
about the same time.
Mr.. Hayes experiments are Of sig
nificance, marking an advance in
knowledge Of corn-growing and meth
DDS Of increasing yields in Minnesota.

TIPS ON EGG : MARKETING

keting of eggs has been issued by the
extension division of the department
Of agriculture of the University of
Minnesota, and is for free distribu.

The bulletin was prepared by e. G.
Johnson of the extension division and
covers such subjects as the progress
made in the marketing Of eggs coop

H0PPERS- DUE TO RETURN

The entomologists, or the specialists
in insect pests, at University Farm,
st. Paul, are looking for return Of
the grasshoppers next year. They say
the insects will return If conditions
are normal.
They are, therefore, making plans
to check damages by the hoppers up
on their appearance, and in connection
with such plans are asking that farm
ers and others who discover the pres
ence of hoppers next spring promptly
report either to their county agent or
directly to the entomology division,
University Farm, St. Paul. ~.
In counties where there are county
agents, the problem is comparatively
easy, for the county agents themselves
are constantly on the lookout for in
vasions Of the kind, and know what to
do to obtain the assistance of the spe-
cfalists in the university department
of agriculture. I'D ..... -
However, the territory which has
been visited this year is now well
mapped, and 1t is the hope that watch
can be kept there next spring in such
way as to enable the specialists to
begin prompt warfare. s
A survey Of this years situation
shows that the grasshoppers were bad
In Chisago, Pine, Kanabec, Mile Laos,
Benton, Sherburne, Wright, and Todd
counties. They did not cover all of
the counties named, but did mischief
in considerable areas in all, and it
will be in this same region that they
will be likely to appear next year.
Tie extent of the damage done is
difficult to estimate, but in many parts
Of the territory outlined they complete

and in some cases they cut the oats

of organization for its own sake. In
all other industries the marketing
problem has been the problem
stressed for a generation, Yet in the
marketing Of farm products the pro-
Queer has been content with the
methods of a century ago"
In all other industries, Mr.. Lowden
continued. there has been q growing
tendency to stabilize prices. and if
the farmers are to put themselves
upon terms of equality with the
sreat industries Of the country, they
too must organize. 1T is not desir-
able or necessary that in doing so
they initiate the great industries" he
added.
Those who oppose the principle Of
cooperative marketing, Mr.. Lowden
said, think that in some way the as
sociations are seeking to avoid the
operation of the law of supply and
demand.
Quite the reverse is true. The
laws of supply and demand extend
ing over a series of years. in fixing
what the political economists call the
normal price, still obtain. To fix the
market price fairly, shat law is ef-
fective. only with free competition on
both sides There must be equality

ers and sellers before this law can
