SEED CORN SELECTION Should be Made in the Field While Com is Growing PAYS FARMERS INCREASES YIELD . i Character of Plant can be Determined Only Where it Grows in the Crop 11 costs'as much to plant and cultivate UI1 ftPl'P nrndiipinir 90 hncholu I of coi^i as one producing 40 bushels. So, with present labor costs, if a farmer could reduce his acreage one half and .still get the same corn yield he would consider it mighty good business. Such a program is probably too much to expect, but the ,United Stateas Department of Agribulture points out that the American farmer is getting altogether too little yield from his corn land. Just about this time of year a good many farmers are realizing it. Prepare for Next Year's Crop. Now, or a little later, American farmers have an opportunity to start increasing next year's corn crop by the selection of seed. Eve?*y spring there is a frantic search for good seed corn, and much inferior seed is planted, with resulting inferior yields. The loss is largely due to delay or negligence. Autumn is the time to prepare for a profitable corn crop the following season. Any intelligent farmer can go .into his corn field when the corn is mature and select better seed than he can buy next spring. Unless a'; community has an experienced and ' honest corn breeder, the best place j for the farmer to obtain ?eed corn is from the fields on his farm or in his neighborhood, which are planted , with a variety that has generally i proved successful in that particular locality. Too many people consider seed good simply because it will rtow. To be first clas^, seed corn must be: 1. Well adapted to the climate and soil conditions where it it to ibo planted. 2. Of a high-yielding variety and from high-yielding stalks of that variety. ; 3. Well matured and preserved from ripening time until planting, time in a manner that will retain its full vitality. 4. Free from disease and insect injury. Such freedom may indicate resistance to infection. As soon as the crop matures, go < through the field with ? picking bag I and select ears from the stalks that have produced the most corn without having had any special advantages such as excess of space, moisture, or < fertility. Avoid the largo ears on stalks standing singly with an unusual amount of space around them. "r> r v ii i x icicrence snouia no ^ivon tho ' plants that have produced most 1 heavily/in competition with a full stand of vigorous plants. A well- 1 balanced stalk bearing two good ears will usually be foun.d to have pro- 1 duced as much seed as any other ! stalk. Both ears arc equally valuable 1 for seed, even though one may be much smaller than the other. ' In the Central and Southern States, all other things being equal, short < thick stalks are preferable. They < are not so easily biown down, and in < general are more productive than ' slender ones. In the more northern ; States two varieties are desirable? ; an early maturing variety for grain < and a later, ranker-growing one for ; ensilage. It is an excellent plan to ( select enough seed for two years. ] Husked ears of seed corn should be i put in a dry place with free circula- < tion of air on the day they are pick- J ed. They, should be placed so that > the ears do not touch each other. < They may be hung on a string, or I a hatrack device can be easily be < made by cutting an electrically weld- ' ed wire-mesh fence so as to leave one strand with short cross wires sticking out at intervals. After hanging in tho shed or lying on the racks for two months the seed ears should be dry enough to keep safely and may be stored in moth-proof barrels, boxes, or crates, bu' should no*, be exposed to a damp atmosphere. Moth-proof boxes can be easily made with fly screen. I < Keep Seed Corn Dry Over Winter. I Since the corn-rot investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture, increasing attention has been paid to germination tests for corn. The improved rag-doll germinator and methods for using it, as well as methods of selecting diseasefree ears in the field, arc described in Farmers' Bulletin 1176, which will he pent on application to the Department of Agriculture. The question of better seed corn is one which means so tion should be given it from now on much in dollar? and cents that att.en until the seed is ready to go into the ground next spring.

Inhaling the fumes of turpentine and wnite lead orten weakens tne kidneys. That's one reason why so many painters have bad backs and sick kidneys. Exposure, frequent colds and chills and the strain of climbing up and down ladders heltv start the trouble. If your back aches, if sharp pains strike you in the back when stooping, or*working; if you have headaches, dizziness, rheumatic pains; if the urine is discolored or passages painful and scanty, try Doan's Kidney Pills, the remedy so widely used and so well recommended by men in the painting trade. Hero's a Conway testimony. Harmon Housend, painter, says: "1 think inhaling the fumes of turpentine is what weakened my kidneys. I had to get up very often at night to pass the kidney secretions, and they were unnatural. Finally I got Doan's Kidney Pills at the Conway Ding Co., and in a short time my back gfot stronger and the kidney secretions became natural." Price 00c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy?get Doan's Kidney Pills?the same that Mr. Housend had.
