The best way to obtain good seed is to select it In the field at this lime before any hard freezing has oc curred. By selection In the field the character of the plant and the condi tions under which It grew can be con sidered. Many times there are undcr strable characteristics In the plant which should be eliminated as much as possible The stalk may be too tall and slender; the foliage may not be as heavy and dense as la desirable; the shank may be too long, the husk may be so light that it does not furnish the beat protection against depreda tions by birds and Insects; and the plant may have produced a large num ber of suckers These characteristics are hereditary and care should be taken to select seed from the plants showing the best characteristics. Pre ference should be given to those ears grown !! stalks which have produced heavily with out special advantages of space, moisture, or fertility. The typo of ear to select will vary somewhat with the variety. It should be of good length for the variety, well filled at the tip and base, nearly cylindrical In form, and have a rela tively small cob.

Repairing Neatly and Promptly Done heavy ears from late maturing stalks There should not be too much spnee between the rows of kernels. A dim ple dented or long dimple dented t pe of kernel preferable to the rougher type as the latter type Is associated with late maturity. After securing the seed It should ho stored In a place where It will dry thoroughly. This drying Is vtry Im I'oit.int in order to retain the full vi tality of the seed. Place the ears In racks or suspend them with strings so that they will not touch each other Do this tho same day the corn Is gathered as the vitality for the aeed may be greatly reduced by leaving I In tho sack or In a pile for ever a dar. By carofully selecting and storing the seod corn It possible to Increase the yield twenty-five percent. No other work the farmer can do al this time of the year will give so great returns for the labor as tho careful selection of seed corn In the field. WM R. SI I INN. County Agriculturist.
