We should be able to make as much c«i:u per acre as any state. The question is, how are we to go about it? There are two principal ways to increase our average and under our conditions both are necessary. The first step lies in improving our laud by means of thorough preparation. Increasing fhe supply of humus, and using com mercial lertllizerH intelligently. The second sup is the improvement of seed by careful held selection It has already been demonstrated that our improved lands are capable of mak ing fro.u 40 to more than 100 bushels per acre. Just how much more can be grown on one acre with properly selected seed is yet to be seen, but we should certainly by ali means give the seed question more serious thought. The livestock breeder is far more | particular in selecting breeding stock I than is (he average corn grower in selecting seed corn. Yet the laws governing livestock improvement are the same as those governing corn, im- | provenient. The man who raises hogs | keeps only the beet sows, which gtv- ! the largest and most vigorous litters I of ptgs. As some soves give better | litters than others, so some cars of corn will produce more corn than other cars. Therefore, make an ef fort to select the best ears for seed.

The stalk must be the first consbl eration. A large ear taken from a pile of c-orn will not necessarily b«* a producer of large ear*, since It might l^ave had a better chance than some others in the field, the stalk might have been too tall and slender, and the ear might have been too high on tl.e stalk. It Is, therefore, necenssry to know cne stalk from which an enr comes. Select from stalks which are strong and stocky, and gently tapering from the ground up.

The careful study and selec tion of the individual ear** must be done after the corn has been brought to the barn and the farmer can do M rn bis spare time.
