to ring in tho words that there is no

Mr. McMillan is a native of Scot

resided in Glascow. He visited hie

SEED CORN SHOULD BE
SELECTED IN THE FIELD
Seed corn should he selected in the
field and not from the corn crib, as
no improvem ut can be made unless
the character of tho stalk on which
the corn grew is known, according to
the Extension Division of tho Georgia
State College of Agriculture.
There is a commonly accepted id-a
that a Variety will run out if grown
in tho same locality for a number of
years. This iu erroneous, as corn
that lias been selected from your own
fields from year to year is better seed
than can bo bought from some othor
. ection. It is of course necessary that
the grower start with a good variety
and keep it so isolated that no cross,
iug with other varieties takes place.
The importance of using pure seed
corn of a variety adapted to tho con
ditions In the section iu which it is
grown, has never been fully realized
by many farmers.
Those farmers, however, who do not
care to select their own seed corn
in the field should secure fresh seed
every few years from some reliable
plant breeder, as constant .selection is
necessary in order to keep tom up to
