LL i LL S| 1 9000000000 PCORA® Farmers Column F. S. Bucher, of the Lancaster Co. Farm Bureau, Gives Valuable In- formation in the Selection of Seed Corn for Next Year's Planting | ei | Examination of some of the ear to grow corn plots emphasize the im- Ie yrtance of the selection of seed corn [in the field. The average corn raiser {selects the occasional good ear at husking time or picks it from the |erib at planting time. When this {method of selection is pursued, the grower .is able to note the merits of the ear as such but he has little or no knowledge of the conditions {under which it grew. There are al- most as many things to be |sidered in connection with ihe stalk las in the ear when it comes to a matter of saving seed for the follow- ing crop. There ~ the root system, the disposition to sucker and set jseveral ears, the length of the shank, | susceptibility to rust, smut, etc., the |height of the ear on the stalk, erect lor drooping, the way the ear is [covered with husk and the com- parative maturity of stalks and ears, jthe tendency to break over, whether the stalk has had any special ad- | vantages for development or not, | ete. | When corn is not selected in the |field it is easily apparent that a con- |glomerate mixture of desirable and undesirable characters will result in the following crop. The only practical way of retaining the desirable and increasing profit on labor expended is to take a day off and go through the field before the corn ig cut se- leeiing good ears from desirable be stalk from which an ear se- lected should be vigorous, indicating ability to win in competition under unfavorable conditions.

The thing to do is to select from the stalk which does not sucker. In the dent varieties it is not ad- visable to select from stalks with more than one ear under our general farming system. When we attempt to raise two ears we reduce quality first and yield finally. Stalks from which ears are select- ed should be free from disease such as rust or smut, Different stalks have widely varying abilities to ward off diseases. Plot experiments show that they are able to transmit this ability to a large extent. An wn thai Wns slightly ‘2 husk begins to turn vellow and open is preferable to one that is erect and allows the water to run down and | stand at the butt. This, of course, is undesirable from a seed stand point. In a variety in which ears are in- clined to be erect it is well that the husk should cover the tip well in 'order to prevent the entrance of surplus moisture. Some of these points should be given more con- sideration than others. Often not all can be noted from a practical point of view. Nevertheless, it will! be found to pay and pay well for the day spent in making |The first year’s pay 'than the second because we are ap- proaching the practical limit of im- provement. The seed corn will transmit desirable characters to a marked degree but because it is cross polinated we are unable to di- rect operations as readily and as easily as in a self fertilizered crop, nevertheless improvement will be rapid enough to be well worth the time spent in the corn field.
