He had brought along.samples of tbe corn raised, on his farm, which was tile same as exhibited, in .Qhicago^-and- was large and wellfllled with grains and also showed th e small nubbins, whose growth had been stinted and compared them.. Mr, B radfute said th a t most farmers pay too much attention to the little things connected with corn growing shoh as the shftpe of the, car, th e straitgh tness of the rows and the filling ou t of the tip - with grains* The man who is growing coin for a business, he said, ^should be p o r e in terested in the number of pounds of shell corn t h a t will he pro- diiced from an acre. This fact should be, alwayH,kept.before the c m grower. He advised the farmers to select seed - from their own corn, unless they arc fully convinced th a t they a re wrong in doing so ,. because .corn th a t wifi grow in one soil Will no t grow in another, and even though you get your seed from .a man within five •miles of you, you are almost certain to produce a bad crop. Her said th a t in ’ visiting the Illinois ex­ periment station he noticed that- where a row of corn was planted from one ea r each sta lk was the same length and they were Identi­ cally the same. He said in plan ting corn he selects a choice bushel, -and i n shelling it he allows,only the be st grams to go through th e machine- He plants this bushel and ih en e x t year1selects from i t ano ther ^choice bushel, Co th a t In doing so Jiis Corn -has reach­ ed its umisally good sf idard of ef^perfection* H e sakTkhgt* goorn, and no matter how fine his produce, there is no grower who jtnowsaU. , ■ ■ The sub ject of G* E- Jobe ’s talk was “ Preparation of d Bed for Corn.” Mr. Jobe gave a dlscriptloh of hie method for preparing the field and endorsed early plowing, 'H e says the plowing Should be done In Jan u a ry or February , both fo r the!, good of the crop ahd to get the h a rv e s t p a r t of the work „ off the fann e r’s hands before spring when there a te numerous other things to bo attended to. v .Ralph Hunger gave a talk on the subject, “Do We Apply Our Barn ­ yard Manure in tbe Rest Possible Maimer and Usb the Proper Com­ mercial Fertilizers With It?” and Herman N.
