AKD SUCCESSFUL FARMING
~~-7p<= . Dr AndrewK Sovle
Saving Seed Corn
A stream can rise no higher than
I its source. Liketvise, the seed plant
i ed measures back to the farmer the
I exact character of its ancestry.
(Breeding and lineage .have given us
| superior types of plants and animals,
j Race horses capable of traveling a
i mile in record time are not the re-
I suit of accident.
If these things be true, and they
are, then it behooves us to give more
consideration and attention to the se
j lection of the seed corn we expect
ito plant. We are all much concern
ied about the corn crop because of
i the wealth it produces and because
of the important function It performs
in our agricultural economy. If yvc
5 can devise a svay by Yvhich more
corn can be raised on the present
■ acreage of land in Georgia, the farm
ers of the state can make a material
gain in the wealth derived from this
crop.
So there is every reason why we
should consider ways and means of
improving the corn crop. There are
many factors that might be con
sidered in a discussion of this kind,
all of which Yvould have an impor
tant bearing on the question at is
sue. It is desirable, however, on
this occasion to confine the discus
sion to a consideration of seed se
lection.
Good Seed Fays
Those who have studied this mat
ter know perfectly Yvell that we can
increase our present yield of corn
anywhere from five to ten bushels
per acre if we select and plant high
grade strains of seed. There is not
a plant or floYver which has been
cultivated that does not now yield
much more than it did in a state of
nature, and corn is certainly not an
exception to the rule.
That we should give attention to
seed selection is self-evident for
many reasons. Anyone >vho has ex
amined a corn field in the south will
find that there are many skips in
the rows. They will discover that
there are lots of plants which occupy
space and take up moisture and
plant food from the soil but produce
nothing.
Why cultivate a drone when a pro
ductive corn plant might be had If
only a little better type of seed were
planted? Why groYv any strain of
corn in which the tendency is to pro
duce an excessive amount of stalk
and a small and imperfect ear when
one can secure seeds of strains that

produce a relatively small stalk and
two or more fine ears per stalk?
These are lines along which we
need to do a little constructive thin
ing because the discovery idicated
affords the only avenue by which we
may hope to increase the yield of
corn without any material outlay, for
labor or fertilizer. If the farmers of
Georgia increase the yield of corn
next year by one bushel on the pres
ent acreage It would add five million
bushels to our crop. Five bushels
Yvould add twenty-five million bush
els to the crop while ten bushels per
acre would aggregate fifty million
bushels. We can thus add one tc
fifty million dollars to the value o:
our corn crop next year even if corn
be priced at one dollar per bushel.
Average Yield in Georgia
It is a fact that in some states tb<
corn crop has almost been double-,,
because greater attention has been,
paid to the selection of seed. This
is an example, therefore, that we
should emulate. We are proud oi
the fact that the average yield pet
acre of corn in Georgia iioyv approxi
mates sixteen bushels, whereas, a
few years ago, it was only eight
bushels.
We haVe discovered that we ca:
grow corn in all parts of the stat
successfully and profitably by exet
cising a little more forethought. 1
spite of the progress we have made
we are not yet producing- the avei
age yield of corn obtained in th
United States. The figures of recen
yeans show this to be twenty-si
bushels per acre as compared wit!
our sixteen bushels. We thus mus
increase the average yield in Geor
gia by ten bushels to attain th-,
basis of production in other states
The most certain way to attain thi
end is through the careful selectio:
of planting seed.
Every spring there is a grea:
scarcity of good seed, and it con
mands unusually high prices. Verv
often unscrupulous persons take ad
vantage of this situation and sei
so-called strains of seed at sane;
prices. This seed may not have bee
selected or cultivated with any spe
cial care. Very likely the farme
who purchases it is disappointed
with the results secured. Under sucn
conditions, he is- likely to conclude
that improY-ed seed does not pay.
a matter of fact, he has probably
never planted any improved seed.
Select Seed Now
Now is the time to select and put
away seed corn under such condi
tions as to insure its being kept in
a viable condition so thait it wil
readily germinate when planted.
Going to the corn crib and picking
out the seed Yvhich is needed in the
spring is a foolish policy. It is
quite likely that the less productive
stalks in the field may yield the best
looking ears. A good ear of corn is
a very desirable thing to have, but
the ability of the plant to mature
two or more perfect ears is still a
more Important consideration.
J Corn should, therefore, be select
ed in the field just about the time it
is harvested. One then has a chance
to judge of the type and character
of the stalk from which the ear is
chosen. He can also determine the
prolificacy of the stalk from which
he selects his seed.
It is natural for like to tend to
produce like, and so if the seed is
selected from inedium-sized, fruitful
stalks, the chances are that more of
the stalks in the next year’s crop
will be of this type. It would only
take a very small addition to the
size of the eai* or the number of
ears to increase the yield of corn to
ten bushels per acre. Presuming
that there are se\’enty ears to a
bushel, an addition of 700 ears would
mean ten bushels. As there would
be anywhere from four to eight
. thousand stalks of corn on an acre
■of land, one can readily see how
small an increase per stalk is neces
sary to secure the greatly increased
yield indicated.
The production of seed corn of a
very high grade is in reality a spe
cialized business. Some men in ev
ery community should devote their
energies to this phase of work and
their neighbors would find it highly
profitable to patronize them.
What to Roinember
It is not necessary to change seed
corn every year, but now and then
a new lot of seed will ijrove a prof
itable and desirable 'investment.
Th.’ ' 4 s a tendency on the part of
■ele strains of plants and ani
mals xo retrograde, especially when
kept under unfavorable conditions
and where a rigid selection is qot
practiced. I am disnosed. to recom
mend, therefore, the purchase of
high-grade seeds from growers wha’
specialize in its production from
time te time.
In selecting seed corn one should
bear in mind the fact that the ear
should be taken from only high
i yielding stalks of high-yielding va
i rieties. There is a wonderful dis
; ference in strains of corn in this
respect.
Next, it is important to remember
that the ears should be chosen from
vigorous, healthy plants that show
no evidence of disease or damage
from insects. Choose ears of corn
only that are thoroughly well ma
tured and -which have been preserved
in a desirable condition from the
time of ripening until it is put away
for seed.
One must choose a variety that is
suited to the climatic and soil con
ditions where it is to be planted.
Too much emphasis cannot be laid
on this phase of the subject be
cause our farmers are constantly
planting strains of corn that ex
periments have shown are not adapt
ed to the conditions under which
they are being grown.
*“ A good way of selecting seed that
is easily and inexpensively carried
into effect on the average farm is to
go through the corn rows just be
fore the crop is harvested and pick
the ears off of the stalks of corn
that most nearly meet the conditions
set forth above.
After the ears have been gather
ed and then re-selected, the next
thing to do is to see that they are
properly preserved. To this end,
they should be immediately husked
and hung up in a place where there
is a good circulation of air so that
they can be dried out quickly and
thoroughly. This is a matter of the
utmost importance is preserving the
viability of the corn.
’ Kill th® Weevils
,Os course the germ determines
the right of the future plant, and
there will_.be a skip wherever a de
fective grain has been planted. If
we could avoid the skips in our
corn , f ie ld s . I am sure the yield
, would be increased by approximate
ly five bushels per acre.
i After the seed corn has been
| thoroughly dried, it is desirable in
our climate t 0 shell it and put it
i away in sacks. It should first be
I treated with carbon bisulnhide at
least twice. The treatments should
I be ten days or so apart.
; The purpose of the treatment is
to destroy the grain weevil. If this
is not done, the corn that has been
shelled and put away for seed will
i be virtually destroyed bv the weevils
I which multiply very rapidly. One
i cannot be too careful about a mat
i ter of this kind. Properly caring for
and protecting the seed is one of the
most important factors in insuring
a successful crop next year. So,
any time or effort expended on this
: proposition represents a well-worth
! while investment on the part of the
landowner.
In storing corn one /hould be
very careful to put it in a rat or
mouse proof container so that there
wil) be no possibility of these
rodents attacking it. They Will
quickly destroy large quantities of
stored grain as many farmers have
found out to their great sorrow.
A good way to insure protection
against damage by mice and rats is
to store the grain in a tin lined box
or bin covered with woven wire of
a fine mesh.
Before the seed ears are shelled it
is desirable to remove the small
kernels from the tips and around

Federal Inspection
Is Now Available in
Many Market Centers,
Market inspection of fruits and
vegetables by representatives of the
bureau of markets of the United
States department of agriculture is'
now available in twenty-five impor
tant market centers, and in addition
about 15b smaller markets tributary
to these have been designated as in
spection points.
The purpose of this service is to
provide a well-trained and neutral
inspector who can certify the quality
and condition of various perishables
upon their arrival in the market.
Such certificates are received in the
federal courts as prima facie evi
dence of quality and condition at the
time of b.rrival in the market.
The value of the service has been
to bring about a settlement of claims
against railroads and as a basis of
arbitration where dissatisfaction
arises between shipper and receiver.
A protects the shipper who is trad
ing at l°ng distance from unscrupu
lous dealers, and it also furnishes
a protection to honest dealers
against the possibility of behfe con
sidered unscrupulous.
These inspections are made on re
quest and there is a nominal charge
of $4 a car for the service.

does not contain a sufficient amount

This is a comparatively simple
matter to keep in mind, yet It is of
very considerable ' importance in in
suring a better stand and the de

Steamed Bone Meal as a Xawn
Fertilizer
S. E. D., Warrenton, Ga.,
writes: Which is best to use,
steamed bone meal or raw bone
meal for fertilizer on an old lawn?
The constituents contained in raw
bone men! are not likely to become
as quickly available as those con
tained in steamed bone meal. The
value of bone meal for fertilizing
purposes depends largely on the fine
ness to which it is ground. It is
difficult to grind raw bone very fine
because of the considerable amount
of fat it contains. This fat protects
the bone from bacterial action and
hence the raw bone meal decomposes
more slowly in the soil than steamed
bone meal.
A high grade of raw bone meal
contains from 31-4 to 4 per cent of
nitrogen and from 20 to 25 per cent
of phosphoric acid. The steamed
product on the other hand contains
only about 1 1-2 to 2 per cent of
nitrogen and from 28 to 30 per cent
of phosphoric acid. Personally, I
would prefer to use the steamed bone
meal and add some carrier of nitrogen
that would raise the percentage of
this element to at least 4 per cent
of a quickly available nitrogen.
You could, of course, use cotton
seed for this purpose with advantage.
Any fertilizer intended for a lawn
will be improved if you add some
potash to it. My own experience in
dicates that lawns benefit by liming
with crushed raw ,roek at the rate
of at least two tons per acre. I also
find that the anplicatiori of not less
than 500 to 1,000 pounds of a fer
tilizer containing from 3 to 5 pe"
cent of nitrogen, 8 to 10 per cent of
phosphoric acid and 3 to 5 per cent
of potash is very desirable.
1 anply this fertilizer in two ap
plications, one in the fall and one
in the spring. I rake it into the sur
face of the ground. I have found
this a very desirable formula to use
on lawns which one desires to keen
green and attractive through the fall,
winter and spring by seeding thereon
blue grass. Italian rye .grass and
white or Dutch clover.
‘“Farming Ail Right
But System’s Wrong,”
Says ‘Cultivator”
We have hundreds of farmers
abusing; their call inn Hud
they tfre going to quit. We do
not b’ame any one for quitting if
he can do better, elsewhere. We
have never been one of those to
cry “St’v on the Farm” or “Back
to the Farm.” This is all gotten
up by men who want farmers to
make a cheap living for them,
while they stay in the cities. But
we do want to champion the truth
always and help those on the
farms in every way that we can.
Now, the farm is not to blame
for our troubles; the fault lies
in the system that we are follow
ing. On dur recent trip up north,
we found that the farmers in the
grain belt were ten times as well
off as the cotton farmers. Why?
They grow something to eat. They
could live at homl and sell the
surplus. They do not require so
much labor to produce a < crop.
The cotton farmer produces
he cannot use—what he must
turn into quick money—what the
buyers and mill men are always
planning to ret as cheaply as
possible. We farm to make
money and this gets us into trou
ble. 'if we farmed to make a liv
ing the money would come in as
a by-product. It would be far
better not to abuse the funda
mental calling upon which all
others rest, but to plan more
wisely to make it more independ
ent. It is not farming that causes
our troubles, but it is the way
we have been farming. Now
hundreds will quit another year,
and we do not wish them ill,
but on the other hand we wish
them well. Still they will find
that trouble dods not dwell in the
country alone. To those who
will endeavor to change for the
better another year, we extend a
cordial hand. Farming in the
cotton belt can be made to pay.
It can be made a business that
will give in return a fair profit
and much pleasure. But to get
this much out of it, you must
put into it, wise planning and
conservative work. Three thou
sand years ago the old Lotius
found’this much out: “That pru
dence was the better part of val
or.” 1921 is a year to practice
this old adage.-p-Southern Culti
vator.
Be Prepared!
Plans should be made now . for tlje
spring planting, looking out for good
sweet potato, corn and other staple
crop seeds. The man that always
looks ahead for a few months is gen
erally found to be prepared for any
contingency that may arise, and good
farm managers can always be de
pended upon to have arrangements
made in such a.way that as the sea

Here Are Some Pointers
On Preparing Turkeys
For Thanksgiving Sale
’ Tho American public demands
turkey for Thanksgiving, and gets it
usually if it is humanly possible.
On no other festival of the year do
the people of this country feel it
necessary to have any one kind of
meat, but Thanksgiving without
turkey is like Hamlet without the
ghost to most Americans. Many
serve turkey at Christmas and New
.Year’s also, but after the holiday
season is past the demand for tur
keys is usually small. This makes
the marketing season for turkeys
very short, running as it does from
the’middle of November to-the latter
part of December.
Marketing Turkeys
; Most turkey raisers sell their
I birds alive to poultry dealers, who
either dress them or ship them alive
ito city dealers. Farmers near the
, city markets, and particularly those
in the middle Atlantic and New Eng
land states, often dress the turkeys
and either sell them direct to the
consumer or to city dealers. In
some sections shortly before Thanks
giving there *is held what is known
as turkey day. On that day before
this event every turkey grower in
the neighborhood kills and dresses
his turkeys, and the following morn
ing brings them Into town. where
they are bid on and purchased by
luyers, the birds going to the high
est bidder.
In sections Yvhere Turkeys are
rown in large numbers, as in Texas,
’.ressing plants have been built by
>oultry dealers, who buv the birds
.-live and dress them for the various
■•ity markets. In such cases prac
icaHy all Jhe turkey raisers sell to
hese dealers, who often send buy
res out. into the country to gather
ip a drove of several hundred birds
by stopping at each farm as they
•ass, weighing whatever turkeys
he farmer mav have to sell and add
ng them to those already collect
'd, Six or eight men can drive a
'lock of 1,000 turkeys 10 or 12 miles
?. day. As soon as passible after the
turkeys are received at the dress
ng plant they ;u:e killed, dry-picked,
moled, and nacWd in barrels or
1 oxes for shipment.
Turkeys to be killed and dressed
i the farm should first be deprived
f feed for 24 hours, but given
lenty of fresh, clean water in ot
'er to clean the cron and intestines
f aM feed. When ready to kill, the
iir;l should be hung up by the feet;
olding the bird in one hand, a sharp,
.’arrow-bladed knife is used to sever
he veins in the throat by making
a small cut inside the mouth on the
right side of the throat, at the base
of tho skull. Alber making this cut
md bleeding begins, the knife is
hrust up through the groove in the
•oof of the mouth and into the brain
it the back part of the skull. The
-ird gives a peculiar squawk, the
'entihers are loosened by • a quiver
ngi of the muscles, and death is in
'..-intaneous.
In dry-picking, the feathers
hould be plucked immediately, and
f .the bird has been properly stuck
hey come Bant very easily. The tail
’nd large wing feathers are remov
ed first, after which the *bodv feath
ers are pulled out. When the tur
keys are to be marketed locally or
i are to be shipped but a short dis-

Now’s the Time to
Banish the Mites
This is the time of the year to.be
cn the constant lookout for the pres
ence of mites on the fowls’and par
ticularly in the poultry house. These
insect pests not only lower the vi
tality of the birds, and thus render
them liable to disease, but their
presence has a decidedly bad effect
on egg production. Frequent spray
ing of all cracks and crevices of the
house and the undersides of the
roosts with kerosene or 5 per cent
carbolic acid will greatly help to
eradicate mites, and thus add to the
comfort and general health of the
birds.
tance, they are cooled to .a tempera
ture of about 35 degrees Fahrenheit
by hanging in the open air, provided
the weather is cold enough, other
wise they are plunged into ice water
and kept there until thoroughly cool
ed.
Shipping Dressed Turkeys
After cooling they are packed un
drawn in boxes or barrels. It is
ina’dvisable for the producer without
proper refrigerating facilities to
ship dressed turkeys, as losses from
improper cooling and from their be
ing exposed to warm weather dur
ing transit are liable to occur. Aside
from this it is seldom profitable to
ship turkeys any great distance ex
cept in carload lots; when this is
done the turkeys are cooled to 32
degrees Fahrenheit, packed in boxes
or barrels, and shipped in refrig
erator cars.
