6 How to Grow High Yield By W. L. No one knows the pedigree of most of the seed corn planted in South Caroliua and with an average yield per acre of less than twenty bushels, it does not appear to have a very high-yielding quality. To have good seed one may start at the crib or in the field before the corn crop is gathered and, as it is best to start in the field, we will start there. A number of characters indicate whether corn will yield well or not aud also whether it will transmit its qualities to its offspring or not. Cyllndical ears are better than tapering ones. Deep wedge-shaped -* grains are preferred above shallow, ide grains and straight rows and ^Bbell filled tips and butts are pre^^Fferred. Pure corn will transmit oeiior man corn 01 imxeu urwimiR. Stalks that make good yields under normal conditions are preferred to stalks with similar yields, but with more space or other especially favorable environment. Good yields may be had both with one eared and with prolific varieties, but Southern growers are partial to a prolific sort, as an average of two ears to the stalk meets the demands for prolificacy. This paper will deal with a type of corn that will tend to produce two ears to the stalk under normal conditions. THE FIELD WORK. When the corn is mature and shows fully what its characters are, go through the field selecting from two rows at a time. One may select from five to ten acres a day. Select | only from stalks having a normal amount of space and other conditions that influence the yield. Select only from prolific, healthy stalks bearing the desired number and type of ears. Let the ears be the right height from the ground, as the height of the ear has economic value. In the same way consider all Important qualities, that can only be observed in the field. The charniters of the pars themselves can be further studied at the ham, but the stalk characters must be studied in the field before the ear is gathered. Select about two hundred of the very best ears from the very best stalks for a competitive ear test and about thirty ears for every acre that is to be planted next .season. One hundreu ears will be ample for the ear test and fifteen ears will furnish enough seed to plant an acre so that the field selected corn can be further studied and only the best half of it used for planting. Take the one hundred best ears ami number each so that it tnay he identified at any time. Plant only one-half of each ear in a test plot so managed as to give each ear an equal chance with normal conditions for all. Let every row have the same number as the ear from which it was planted in order that its yield may be credited to the right ear. If this test is properly made, it will show the relative yielding power of the one hundred ears used. Carefully savt and protect from all harm the one hundred half ears not planted. The ear test will show some of these half ears to be very valuable. If these half ears are lost, the ear test will practically be without value. In managing the ear test plot, it Is best to have two rows for each ear tested, one row being towards one side of the plot and the other row towards the opposite side. The object being to give every ear an equal chance and the irregularities of the soil on any plot may he better checked with two rows than with one. So plow, harrow, cultivate and fertilize as to give the entire plot a good chance but nothing more than this. You want to know what these ears will do under normal conditions and whatever difference in yield that may appear should be due to the seed and not to any other i factor. From the germination of the seed to the matured crop note the behavior of the corn from each row, as the object of the test is to determine the best. Obtain the yields accurately. The wide difference in yield usually shown by ear tests will probably appear in each succeeding one if properly conducted. Having given each ear an equal and a fair chance and determined the yields from each, it is easy to select the high yielding ones. Having learned which of the one hundred ears are best, we are through with the corn made on the j lot and it may go to the barn. THE TWO EAR PLOT. We now begin to deal with the half ears that were saved and we now know which are good, which are Dot good, and which is the best one and which the next best. If pedigreed corn is wanted, we take the remainder of the two best ears and use one as a sire and the other as a dam. These two half ears must he planted away from other corn so that pollen from other corn will not reach this plot. Give this small plot a good chance. Plant the half ears side by side and oi.ly allow the stalks from one of the ears to develop tassels. Detassel all the stalks from the other ears before they shed any pollen. Save seed from detasseled stalks. Let the corn on th stalks with tassels go to the b^rn. We now have a small amount of High Yielding Pedigreed Seed Corn. We know the sire ear and f the mother ear and what their yielding power was. Records may be kept of each generation. HIGH YIELDING PEDIGREED SEED PLOT. Plant the seed from the mother ear (the stalks were all detasseled) In a protected place where no pollen from the tassels of Inferior corn can reach it Lei it have favorable conditions for growing good corn. From this plot, seed Is obtained for the field crop. TWENTY HALF-EAR PLOT. Only the best two half ears wert used for the high yielding seed plot The one hundred ear test would show other ears to bo nearly at Jing Pedigreed Seed Corn 1 Hutchison. good as the two best ones, so that twenty of the next best ears could be used in a protected plot to pro- j duce seed for the field crop untii enough pedigreed seed could be grown. REPEAT THE EAR TEST. The ear test should be made each year. After getting a start with the best seed, some of the ears used for the test may come from the Two Ear Plot, some from the High Yielding Plot, some from the field, and some from the best rows of the previous ear test. Do not let the pedigreed seed mix with the inferior corn.?Clemson College Press Bulletin No. 12. 1893?THE TARIFF?1913 The forebodings of some as to a , rendition of 1893 in lit 13 because i of tariff revision should be quickly c dispelled. The hard times of 18113 c were not due to Democratic tariff i revision. The so-called revision t came the next year, 1894, after the s panic of 185)3 had been weathered t as best it could. As will be recall- t ed the tariff revision was so disap- i pointing to Mr. Cleveland who had | come into office on that issue that I he refused to sign the bill on its i passage, August 13, 1894. I President Wilson in his history of t the American People, has this to * say about the causes leading up to 1 the perilous times of 1893: "The 1 financial experiments of the last | fourteen years had begun to bear ' fruit in abundance." The outstanding currency notes of the government were redeemable in gold but ? when redeemed were not cancelled 1 but were put back in circulation to J be again redeemed in gold. Thus * was a constant draining of the gold lr reserve. The purchase of silver under the Sherman act of 1890 paid f for in notes which must also be re- ' deemed in gold on demand added 1 to the draining of the gold reserve. ' But this gold payment must be kept ) up. Says Mr. Wilson: "So soon as : the government ceased paying in J gold and silver which the laws sought to maintain would be destroyed; silver would in effect, be- * come the only medium of exchange; every piece Of property in the conn- ! try, tangible or intangible, would lose hall its value; and credit would ' collapse." The government did not ] require all of its debtors to pay in ' gold and its only way to keep in gold was by borrowing and there ' was a limit to this, of course. In June of that year the silver mines of the West closed and great excitement prevailed in the West. The unemployed were a menace. On top of this came the demands of the "silver men" in Congress. They ' were so strong in the senate that Mr. Cleveland's proposed repealing bill for discontinuing the purchase of silver did not obtain passage until late in the autumn. The damage had come by that time. Mr. Wilson says: "Meanwhile the country took the consequences. Credit collapsed; loans could nowhere be I obtained; the very currency seemed | to disappear, being hoarded and ' kept out of the currents of trade in 1 such extraordinary quantities that those w hose needs must have it were obliged to pay a premium for its use and the banks used clearing i house certificates in its stead. ; Failure tollowed failure. The very ] processes of manufacture stood still. Business men knew not what .to do. The business of the country i was sound; its resources were uutouched. There had been no speculative flurries, no irregular operations that could justify paic or impair confidence. Nothing was awry except the public finances; men could not be sure of the value of the money they handled. It was not certain that the government would lint nut oil c IXI VAI Hauled ujniii III?* silver basis." As said above, however, the pair was on and practically over before the senate acted. Mr. Wilson puts it: "Business of sheer necessity recovered its tone." The South suffered doubly. To tight money was added the low price of cotton. But neither of these evils was due to tariff revision or the prospect of it. The so-called revision came a year later. So let not our hearts be troubled now over a prospect of low cotton this fall because of tariff revision.? Greenwood Index. PRESIDENT MUST PLAY MORE.
