GREGORY, Agricultural VixlUion. lot a Stat Cotttjt Copyright. 1POO. by American Press Awociation S corn Is the principal crop grown over so large section of the United States It Is Im portant that we learn as much s possible regarding the best meth ods of producing it. The average yield of corn In the United States In VX)t was only 23.7 bushels per acre. Many of the best farmers are able to obtain an average yield of sixty to seventy bushels per a.re year after year. There Is uu secret in their methods. They ure simple enough to be applied to every farm In the corn belt. There is no reason why the average yield per acre should not be fifty bnsbeU or more Instead of less "" " -- --- i nrewM. la preparing to raise , maximum crop i i-ura mere are two main mo tors to be considered the soil and the seed. Of these two the first is prob- no. XV OF OP THK UKST WATS TO HANO UP BKKD COUM. ably the more important We have already learned how the plant obtains food and water from the soil. The first step In preparing the soil for a corn crop, then. Is to see that there Is a plentiful supply of plant food on baud. This we can do by using barn yard manure liberally and by follow ing a consistent system of rotation that will equalize the demands made on the soil and keep up the supply of nitrogen and humus. -The next point Is to see that the soli Is in such condition that the roots will have little difficulty In branching out to secure the needed plant food and water. Thorough plowing, disk lag and harrowing will make the soil fine and mellow, so that the roots will hare little trouble In obtaining all the plant food they can use, pro vided It Is there at all. The water supply can be regulated to a considerable extent by tile drain age and by keeping the surface loose to check evaporation. The tempera ture of the soil Is also au important factor In hastening germination and early growth. Drainage, cultivation and the maintenance of a plentiful supply of humus will aid greatly in securing a warm seed bed by planting time. With a warm, well prepared soil containing sufficient quantities of plant food and water the next ques tion that comes up Is regarding the kind of seed to put Into that soil. Al most any kind of seed will grow and produce a fair crop under favorable conditions. What we are after, bow ever, la not a fair crop, but an extra good one. The seed of different strains of corn varies greatly In its ability to produce yields.- In the spring of 1905 the Iowa experiment station gathered seed from nearly a hundred different sources and planted it on the station grounds. Un der conditions that were as nearly alike as it was possible to make them the yields from the different strains varied from thirty-one to eighty bush els ' per acre. This variation shows that a large share of the Improvement In corn production must come through the breeding of high yielding strains. It Is not safe to ship In seed corn from a distance. Corn Is very s:':isl tlve to changes In climate and roll. T obtain the best results the v.'urk of breeding must be done for each local ity and to some extent for each farm. A method ' of Improving seed corn that will snrely result In some Im provement and one that has simplicity to recommend It is that of selecting a number of the best enrti each year and planting them In n field by themselves or In one rcrner of the imiln field. By selecting the bet ears from this breed ing plot each year lo plant next year's breeding plot and using the rest of the good ears to jl-int In the main field some Improvement can be effect ed. The weak point in this plan, bow ever. Is that the yielding power of an ear cannot be told from Its appear ance. Neither Is It poslbIe to prevent Inbreeding by such a method. To avoid these difficulties the "indi vidual ear" plot has been devised. Tub should preferably be at least forty rods from tlie nearest cornfield. Whew this Is Impossible a strip along the south side of a field of the same vari ety may be used. As the prevailing July and August winds are from the south, very little pollen from the main field will blow over on the breeding plot. Each row In the Individual ear plot Is to be planted with the kernels from a single ear. As any fair sized eai will plant a row forty rods long, this Is a convenient length for the plot Select from 50 to 100 of the best ear you can find among your seed corn and plant them In as many rowi across the plot. The work can X done with a planter If care is taker to clean the seed boxes out thorough y each time across. The cultlvatlot given to the plot should be the sank If as tnat wnicn me nuvi ne:,J re-e The time for special treutuit comes wheu the tassels be:lu to ap pear. We have already learned that Inbreeding is weuUeulng aud that cross fertilization develops strength and vitality, in order to preveut in breeding In the Individual ear plot the tusaels on every alternate row should be pulled out as soou us thoy appear. In order that these may bo removed before they shed any ri1Uii It will be uecessary to go over tho field every other day for a week after the first tassels start At the same time any tassels from weak, barreu or spindling stalUs In the other rows should be removed. In this way only pollen from healthy, vigorous stalks Is allowed to mature. Thus the ears on the detasseled rows, being cross fertilized and having only stroug. healthy male parents, have a much better chance of producing lure yields when planted than would ears picked from the general field. The most Important point, however. Is the selection of high yielding strains that Is made possible by hav ing the ears planted tn Individual rows. When harvesting time comes the produce of each row should be husked separately and weighed. It will be found that there Is n great difference In yield. The highest yield ing rows, provided the com is of good quality, should furnUh seed for next year's breeding plot. The rest of the good seed ears from the detas seled rows should be planted In n small field, known as tho "multiplying plot." The best of the seed from thh multiplying plot enn be used to plant the general fields and for sale. By continuing this breeding process from year to year a strain of com may be built up that will far outyteld the ordinary corn of the neighborhood. In addition to the Increase In yield which will result on your own farm, a trade In seed corn may be built up that will at!d materially to the year's Drofits. There are miinv vnrlitlona f!i the plan of breeding here outli.fod, but tne essential point iu all of them Is to select the best yielding individual ears and to prevent crpss pollination as much as possible. After the seed corn has been picked It should be stored In such a manner that it will pass through the winter uninjured. The bints in regard to seed storage as given iu article No. 0 should be followed. Some time toward the close of win ter the corn should be tested. For a preliminary test a hundred kernels may be taken from as many ears In different parts o the room. If the corn has exceptionally strong vitality the kernels may all germinate. In case some of the kernels fail to grow or any considerable number show weak sprouts each ear should be test ed separately In order that the weak ones may be discarded. The method of making this test has been described so many times Iu agricultural papers and bulletins that It will be unneces sary to give tt In detail here. It sim ply consists in placing several kernels from each ear In a .corresponding square in the germinating box. In this way the vitality of each ear may be readily determined. I Shortly before planting time the ! ears should be shelled and run through a seed corn grader to take out the butt and tin kernels and divide the rest Into even grades. The next step Is to block up the planter and run through n sample of each grade, changing I lutes until a set Is found that will drop the required number of kernels practically every time. If this Is done and well tested seed used a good stand will almost certainly result Avoid too deep planting. All that Is necessary Is to have the seed well cov ered with moist soli. If this can be done without putting it down more HO XVI A OrcsMINATION !X SHOWING Tl lIKSULtS OF AM lHUlVWVAL t.kH T13ST. than an inch or two, so much the bet ter. Since the plant canuot begin to digest and use the plant food of the soil and air until it has unfolded Its leaves it Is plain that the less soil It has to push through before it tun spread out its leaves and get to work the sooner It will commence to grow. Deep planted seeds often so -nearly exhaust the plant food In the endo sperm before they reach the surface that tbey are never able to develop Into strong, healthy plants. After planting the aim should be to keep the soli In the same fine tilth It was In at planting time In order to provide large feeding ground for the roots and prevent the escape of capil lary moisture, People past middle life usually have some kidney or bladder disor der that saps the vitality, which Is naturally lower In old age.
