SELECT SEED-CORN IN THE FIELD The common practice among many farmers is to select their seed corn in the crib. Some pick out their seed, at . shelling time as they come across an ear that is somewhat above the average in size and filled out well at the tip. j : Often time little attention is given to - the size of the. cob and depth of kernel which are two important factors in 1 good selection. If seed corn is to bei selected we should aim to save from a : small cob having a good deep grain ; I large cobs and shallow kernels are) atrong indications of poor yields. j Some farmers never select their seed ' • com, even from the crib until planting j time closes in upon them and invariably at this time it is very difficult to find ears that are desirable for seed. By proper selection of seed it is not I uncommon to increase the yield of any .variety of corn as much as Jen bushels per acre. Is such an increase worth exerting B little more effort! Shall we select seed corn in the field or in the cxib! Most certainly the field is the proper placf to gather the seed because we want to know the characteristics of the plant upon which the ear of seed corn was grown. The corn should be collected before cutting in the field thus enabling us i to do more int-lligent selecting ' which means an increased yield next year. In starting your selection dont try to pick out ears of abnormal size, yet, try to get ears somewhat above the average. Extremely large ears will not be easily found and the task of selecting will become difficult. Medium large ears of uniform size can soon be found and the practice of field selection will be a pleasant one. All cars should be well filled at the tip, straight rows of deep mature ker- 1 nels and possess a small cob. Another important consideration in 1 selection is the character of the stalk' ! and the location of the ear upon it. j The mother plant should be one of j good vigorous growth yet not abnormal- 1 ly so and a desirable location of the j ear would be not much in excess of four j feet from the ground. Tall corn with cars six or more feet j above ground suffers from the effect of , heavy winds and is up-rooted much ! more easily than corn of medium height • with ears located nearer fo the base of the stalk. Excessive plant growth means a sac- . rifice of actual grain and no farmer can afford to grow just stalks. I - ' The results of your extra effort in , . Held selection for a single year will be so gratifying {hat the practice of crib : selection will eoon be discontinued. Pre- j paredness now demands your attention, j ; therefore select your seed corn in the I s. field and be prepared with the right j kipd of ammunition when the battle of , corn planting stares you in the face.

Artificial limbs I have increased in price 25 per cent. ,1 According to a bulletin just issued by j the Federal Department of Business Re- ( lations, a wooden leg now costs 8125 where it could formerly be purchased for $100. Arms have increased from $65 ' to $100. • Scarcity of labor, many experts on the ' construction of these substitutes for lost liihbs having found more remunerative ' son given for the increase in cost and ' manufacturers claim, too, that the cost ' of leather and other materials has increased to such an extent that they can e no longer make thejn at the old price. " Machinery is out of the question when I it comes to making and fitting an arti- ' j ficial limb, "ftiey must be made by c I hand and there are,but few men of this • I craft still left in the United States. j I ' HARD WATER I I The hardness of water is measured by f degrees. When a gallon contains one , ! grain of lime it is said to have one de- , t j gree of hardness, "savs The Indianapolis f News. When soap is used with hard | water about two and one-half ounces of . ' it to each 100 gallons of water must be r 1 used for each degree- of hardness, jhst j to overcome hardness. It combines with 'the lime, forming a mineral product, and e uot until enough soap has been dissolved ^ to overcome all the hardness doe. 'the | _ j soap do any good for cleansing purposes. '•j c BIRDS OF A LEATHER | t j j j A small boy astride^f a donkey was ; ' making his way up the Beach drive one | day not long ago, when a detachment of • j sailors Jrom the Tallahassee were swing- j fing down the avenue. The lad dismounted and held the brie die of the donkey tightly in his hand, d "Why are you holding on to your n , brother so' hard!" asked one of the d jackies from the ranks, dj Tm afraid he might enlist," replied I the without batting an eyelash. |
