RAST, Georgia State College Of Agriculture The best place to get seed corn is in your own corn field. The time to select it is while the stalk is still growing in the field. Pass down be tween two rows and mark the stand ard, high yielding plants, by tying strips of cloth to them. When har vesting, have a barrel or box in the wagon bed into which throw ears from these plants to keep them sepa rate from those in the bed of the wagon. A medium sized, sturdy looking plant on which are two or more good ears, the variety being prolific, are preferred for southern conditions. The ears should be located about the mid dle or a little below the middle of the stalk. Experiments have revealed that the practice of pulling fodder is quite in jurious to seed corn and that it re duces yields of stalks from which “During this investigation, mar.y manufacturers when asked the percentage cf wool in their leading numbers pleaded ignorance. They knew nothing of the kind of wool or the dyes U3ed in the fabrics” —from a report of the United States Department of Commerce after an investigation of the clothes-making industry, page 149. it is removed. Ears attached to long, slender' shanks are preferred. These shanks weaken and allow the tip ot the ear to droop, so as to shed water and also escape some of the damage from birds. When the time comes to husk the seed corn and select the best from the collection, choose ears that have a uniform diameter well down to the tip. Extra large ears of the prolific corn are usually produced at expense of the total yield. Medium good sized ears are more to be relied upon than the extra large sized, however. Ears likely to give best results are those on which the grains are well formed to the very tip. If good results are obtained by se lecting seed in this way, the selection from this strain should be kept up each year until its best characteristics have become fixed. Hard flinty kernels of any dent corn have a higher feeding value and are more resistant to the corn weevil. No corn should be planted which does not show 90 per cent germination. Put ten kernels from an ear in a box of sand. If 9 of the ten germinate, the ear is worth planting. But a further precaution can be taken by pulling up the plants and noting which ears have shown the best root development in the germination test. It has been shown that the ears showing best in this, regard yield best in the field In the light of this startling statement by the United States Government, it is interesting to know that in Kirschbaum Clothes nothing but pure all wool fabrics are used. —fabrics acid tested to detect the slightest taint of cotton. —fabrics weather tested under all atmospheric conditions. —fabrics made lustrous, shrinkless and soft by the London Cold Water Process.

The corn to be used for" seed should be shelled by hand to prevent the clip ping of grains by a sheller.
