No one knows the pedigree of most
of .the seed corn planted in South
Csrolina and with an average yield
per acre of less than twenty bushel,!,
it does not appear to have a very
high-xielding ciuallty.
To have pood seed one may a art
a( the crib or in the held before the
cq?!’. erop is gat herd and. as it is
tkvl to st ir^ in the field, we will start
there.
A .number of characters indicate
whether torn will yield well or not
ami also whether it will transmit
it: ii'ialitbi to its offspring or r.of
f.xHuilrhal ears are better than
tapering ones. Deep wedge-shaped
grains are preferred above shallow,
wide grains and straight rows and
well filled tips and buts are preferr* d.
Pure bred corn will transmit better
than corn of mixed breeding. Stalks
that tpako good yields under normal
conditions are preferred to stalks
with similar yields, 'but with more
spate or other especially favorable
environment. Good yields may be
bad both with one eared and with
prolific varieties, but Southern go ew
ers are partial to a prolific sort, as
r an average of tvto ears to the stalk
meets the demands for prolilfcacy.
This paper will deal with a type of
corn that will tend to produce two
ears to the stalk uuder nokmal con

These two half car- must be planted,

from other corn will not reach this

one of the ears to develop tassels.

To Fmsteli Drinking Cnps.
Washington, V/. April 24.—Ar-
rangementa hare been made by the
Southern Railway to furniah aaal-
tary Individual drinking cupa to pa«-
sengeYs on all tratna and a large
supply of cupa of the collapalble pa

a anpply and any fpaaooager desir
ing a cup wWl receive one Tree of
charge on application to the con
ductor. Notices to this effect wifi be
posted in each coach.
Furnishing drinking cups, to pas-
stngers on the large anwiber o r
trains operated by the ‘Southern
Railway wffl involve a substantia!
expenditure which is being under
taken to provide for the cwaveniencf

as the heighth of ‘he ear has e<o-
nomic value. In the same way con
sider all important qualities, that
can only be observed in the field.
The characters of the ears themselves
can be further studied at the barn,
hut the stalk characters must be
studied in the field before the ear is
gathered. Select about two hundred
of the very beat ears from the very
best sulks for a competitive ear
teat and about thirty ears for every
acre that is to be planted next aeaeon.
One hundred ears will be ample for
the ear test aad fifteen ears will
furniah enough seed to plant an acre
so that the field eelected corn can be
further studied and only the beet of
it ooed for planting. Take the one
hundred beet ears and number each
se that It may be identlted at any
time. Plant only one-half of each
ear an equal chance with normal con
ditions fer all. Let evwry row have
the Mine number as the ear from
which' It was planted In order that
ita yield may be credited to the right
oar. If this test is properly made,
it will dhow the relative yielding
power el the one hundred ears uaed.
Carefully save and protect from all
harm the one hundreu half ears not
planted The ear test will, show
