Best Methods Nccecsary. It is only by the best methods of seed (selection and of cultivation that the tanner can Lpe to maintain the valuablo quKlains of hi3 crops, otherwise they wiil deteriorate or "run out" and it will bo necessary for him to secure seed from someone who has paid more attentioa to the improvement of his crop.J. "SEED CORN WEEK." The Last Week in September or ths First Veei in October Should De Set Aside as Seed Corn Week in-the Corn Belt.

TvTe have "Arbor Day." Would it not also be well to have a "Seed Corn Day?" A day when everyone should begin the harvesting and storing of his seed for the following spring. We laugh at our grandfathers for planting their potatoes and sowing their grain the moon," that Is, in certain phases of the moon. The value of this practice lay, not in the fact p.j supposed by many that the mcon exercised any influence on the crop, but. in the having of a definite time and plan for the doing of various tkmga on the farm. If the harvesting of seed corn, like the feeding of stock, came every day, it would bo attended to on time, but It is nothing more nor less than human that the work.

which comes only occasionally or once a year, as in tbe case of tho harvesting cf sued corn should be put off or neglected altogether, unless there ia a definite time and plan for the work. 1915 A GAD YEAR. Indications point to trouble In the corn belt this year. 1915 1s an abnormal year. Excessive moisture and ccol -weather has retarded the growth of corn, especially in the northern states.

Corn will be late in maturing and there will be a tendency to gather seed corn late. Watch this. Don't wait too long Don't wait till frost beats you to Jt. Frost bitten corn will not grow. Gather your seed corn before frost comes.

Store It where it will dry out and not freeze or mold. Don't forget that next year's corn crop will depend on the seed you gather this fan. '7 4 .3 .1 vf4 A i i broke your pump? SAVE THE i iECES.

If ilia season is late and cold, or the frosts, come too early, or if the seed is planted latod tile spring, the grower has' a lot of soft, chaffy, moldy, light corn. In addition to tins It is very dilhcult to secure good seed from such corn for next year's crop.

Three of them will give nearly. 100 bushels per aero. This indicates full maturity, good quality, feeding value and jield. Largo ears will generally nave larger and deeper kernels. Short, bunchy ears are certain to have deeper kernels than long, slim ears.

As a consequence the planter cannot bo adjusted to give a uniform drop. If we have large and small bunchy and tdirn cars, deep kenieled and shallow kerneled ears we shall not only have uneveimess in size and shape of kernels, but we shall also have a great variation in time of maturity, some stalks bearing early and some late, and some having high ears and some low.
