“PRIZE CORN” MAY. NOT BE GOOD
SEED CORN.
By Jno. Ri ^ain, Prof. Agronomy.
Question—How would you advise
that I proceed to select seed corn?
j In the first place It is ImDortant
cause the corti Is better adapted t
his needs than probably other ccr:
from a : distance would he.
If your corn Is Tint'already guthe

sized stalk that is well eared. I
should have, preferably, two ears c
the stalk. Take Jjotlr ears if the
are well developed, hut in case thei
is only one Well developed, ft doc
not matter, as,pome think,, whether i
is a top ear or tho bottom ear. Th
ear with the harder gra u-Js prefer

The earliest snow fall in the
recollection of the people of this
seotion occurred Wednesday
•bight about 11 o’clock when after
a severe rain storm, the weather
suddenly became cooler, and
snow of about 1-4 of an inch in
depth was preticipated. The
Biorning sun soon melted the
fall and a consequent mushy
eond'tion of the streets resulted.
This snow fall is believed to be
the earliest in the season in the
history of our county, so far as
is known. It is believed that
the conditions causing the snow
were atmospheric, and not gen
eral, although later reports maj
tell a different story. ■
