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.

corn ripening time in order to select
an abundance of seed corn. 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.)

SCHOOL DAY AT j
THE COUNTY FAIR. !
I
Wednesday has bcea-' set aside as i
school day at the County Fair. A
charge of ten cents lias been decider
upon for all school children. This '?
the big day at the fair. A football | i
game has been arranged between the !
Batesburg-Leesville High school and ;
the Hyatt Park High school of Co- j
lumbia for Wednesday at twelve< o'-j
clock inside the fair grounds. It b j '
hoped that as many of the schools as j
can conveniently do so will give holi-;
day on Wednesday.and give the children
an opportunity to visit the Fair '
and see what the people of Lexington ;
county are doing. The small admis-j
I
sion fee for school children will make j
it possible for everyone to come. An
unusually good line of attractions in
addition to the usual displays promise
to make this the best fair Lexington
county has ever held.
