It will probably bo best for you to
buy the. bout seed from some reput
able breeder In your section and then
legrn tlve best Scientific methods to
further Improve the seed. The buy
iue of tho best need from some reput
able breeder In your section will rave
yon suveral years of labor and eXpenpe
In breeding up the seed.- However,
you can, by following instructions,
rapidly breed up your own corn,
Flint, select stalk* that benr the
ears at a moderate height on the
stalks for the reasons that It 1h diffi
cult to gather ears too high and the
stalk is apt to be top heavy and easily
blown down by winds.
Second, select stalks of medium,
size, gradually tapering from base to
tassel.
Third, with largo eared varieties,
no Btalks that have more than two
ears should be selected, and an effort
should be made to select some stalks
that have two ears and some that havir
one.
Fourth, the leaves should be broad
and strong, from twelve to sixteen in
number, and well distributed on tho
stalk.
Fifth, the stalks Should bo well
anchored by numerous strong base
root* from one to two joints above
?he ground to enable to withstand
windB. StalkB free from sucKere
should be selected as far as possible.
Sixth, detassel all weak stalks and
stalks growing only nubbins or no
ears at all Just before the silks begin
to show In good number. This will
prevent fertilization by Inferior stalks.
Seventh, the ear should bo cylindri
cal or nearly so. It should be full
and strong in the middle portion and
the circumference should be approxi
mately three-quarters of Its length.
The shuck should be heavy and well
extended over the end of the ear and
' closely gathered about the silk. The
shank that bears the ear should be
long enough to permit the ear to droop
at maturity.
Eighth, from ten to thirty times aa
many ears should bo selected as will
be necessary to plant next year'*
crops.
Ninth, it Is be3t to select and pick
the seed corn in the field before the
first frost. The seed ears should be
placed where they will be kept dry,
and where they will be protected from
damage by weevils, rats, etc
Tenth, dlirlng the winter remove
the shucks from the ears of com and
select the necessary number of the
best ears to plant In the spring. Th?
rows of kernels should be straight,
and not less than sixteen nor more
than twenty-two In number. The ear
should be from eight to ten and a half
inches long. The rsolqr of grain
should be true to variety. White corn
Ehould have white cobs and ' yellow
corn red cobs. The tip' should not be
too tapering. It should be well covered
with straight rows of regular kernels
of uniform size and shape. The rows
of kernels should extend in regular
order over the butt end of the cob,
leaving a depression where the shank
!b removed. The tips of the kernels
should be full and strong, leaving no
apace between them near the cob.
The kernels should be about" five
sixteenths of an inch wide by five
eighths of an inch long, and about six
to the Inch in the row.
It is a good plan to have a special
seed patch and plant say twenty-five
of the best ears in this patch. Each
ear should be planted in a row without
mixing with any other ear. Twenty
five rows planted in this way will be
sufficient for the average farmer. At
maturity, harvest each row separately
and weigh the yields. Select the ears
for next year's seed patch from the
rows that give the highest yields, and
the remaining portion of the rows of
highest yield are used for planting
the field crop. And so the work
phould be continued from year to year.

DISK HARROW; BERMUDA GRASS
The Disk Harrow Is Indispensable and
Should Be on Every Southern Farm
(Reply to F. I>. Webb, Lee Hall, Va.)
You can not invest the same amount
of money to better advantage than by
purchasing a godd disk harrow.
? The difference in the working of a
cutaway and a solid dlBk Is that the
cutaway penetrates the ground much
deeper and throws'1 it up in a much
coarser condition than the solid disk.
The solid pulverizes the soil
much better.

SQUARE SILOS.
Ira Wamp.lur, PurthaKe, Missouri,
writes uk follows: "I wish to build a
square ^ilo in one corner of my barn,
but do not know the b<?st wny to pro
ceed. Ativ information you can give
v. ill be appreciated,"
The square bIIo Is fast going out of
use, berauKo of the difficulty In con
structing a tone In such a way as to
make It profitable. Several years ago,
or. In other, words, when silo building
was In Its Infancy, a good many square
Bllos were constructed, but they were
soon abandoned for several reasons,
mainly because It was Impossible to
prevent leaking at the sides, and sec
ond, the Rlliige spoiled in the corners.
The next step of advancement was to
board UP the corners, which made the
silo more of a round structure, and
the latent development has been the
round fillo, which is considered far
superior to the square type of con
struction. ,
We are sending you under separate
cover our farm barn plans, and you
will note that there is a plan for a silo.
This Is a concrete silo, which is sim
ilar to many that are being built In
various sections of the corn belt.
When properly constructed, the con
crete silo Is more permanent than the
wooden sllos^ and preserves the silage
equally as well as the other types.
-The first cost may be a little bit more,
but tho permanency offsets this ob
jection. There is another type of silo
?whfc'h Ib being buil$ very extensively
throughout Iowa, which Is known as
the Iowa silo, and is built of hollow
tile or hollow building- blocks. For
further Information on this silo, we
BUggest that you write to Professor I
M. I... King, Ames, Iowa.
