I AGRICUL ||p||: ' By CLYDE | Teacher of Agriculture in Selection of Seed Corn* Autumn is the time to prepare for a . profitable corn crop in the following: season. The following suggestions should prove more valuable and timely than any suggestions that can be offered next spring regarding seed I corn. Its object is to prevent a scarcity of first-class seed corn next spring. This scarcity can be prevented by selecting the seed corn when it is most abundant and when the very best can be obtained, at ripening time, before it has been in any way reduced in vitality. There are many of the farmers of today who depend entirely upon the method of selecting their seed corn from the corn-crib just before planting time. It is very unsatisfactory to select seed corn by this j method, because we are unable to i know the conditions under which the j corn grew. We should lay down that fold method of selecting seed corn and wake up to the realization that ^ methods continue to change with the times. Unless a community has an experienced corn breeder, the best place! for the farmer to obtain seed corn is ( from the fields on his farm or in his neighborhood which * were pfanted with a variety that generally has proved successful in the locality. What Constitutes Good Seed Corn. -x 1. Corn that is well adapted to the climatic and soil conditions found in the community in which the corn is y ? | ^planted. \ 2. Of a high-yielding variety. ! in , / ?"" * : ^ v . famous Universal * Star .? writes- V;-. i ; * "Monroe Clothe#, New York. ' ' \'jf , Gentlemen: c. ; . ?

The work of selecting seed corn is too important to be conducted incidentally while husking the corn from the crib. We should give the selection of seed corn our entire attention and select for the one most " important character, the power to yield well. The proper method to use in the selection of seed corn is from the stalks standing in the field, as s^on as the ears are ripe and before the first hard frost. When the corn is well matured, we should go through the . field with a picking bag and select the ears from the stalks that have produced the most good corn without having had any special advantage, such as excess of space, moisture, or fertility. Avoid tHe large ears on stalks standing singly with an unusual amount of space around them. (The treatment of seed corn immediately after gathering and the storing of seed corn will appear in the next issue.) I CONDITION OF SOUTH * CAROLINA COTTO> CROP BY COUNTIES Saluda.
