Selecting Seed
Corn in Field
Negro Vocational Agriculture
Department
Seed com should be selected in
the field just before the fodder is
pulled and tagged, so the fodder
will be left on the stalks. One
good method to follow is when i
the first stalks are beginning to
turn brown. Another good reason
the selection .should be made in the
1 field rather than from the crib, is
1 because it is necessary, in order to
j make the wisest selection, to know
I the condition under which the
I “ideal” ear was produced, and also
a study of the parent plant can
best be made. Remember, “Like
produces like.”
The things to be considered in
making your selection are as fol
lows: 1. Select seed from staJks 1
free of disease, such as root, stalk |
and ear rot, and smut. The first

stalks in the field to turn brown
may sometimes be diseased and
should not be selected. 2. Should he
selected from stalks that grow un
der normal conditions. Avoid stalks
next to a skip or one making unu
sual growth. 3. Select the stalks
which hear two good e*irs as near
as possible. 4. The ear should be
four or five feet from the ground,
with medium length shank and
should point downward in order
that they may be protected from
falling rains. The shuck should be
thick, tight and cover the ear well
at the ends. 5. Only such ears
should be chosen as conform in
size and shape to the standards set
for the variety, the stalks should
also be well anchored. 6. Smooth
rather than rough ears should he
selected. 7. Only matured ears
should be selected. If the ear twists
easily it should not he selected for
seed.
IN MEMORIAM
MRS. f\ E. DANIEL
Goodnight, and not goodbye lit
tle sister. Just a few weeks ago we
stood with heads bowed in sorrow
and hearts broken as all that was
mortal of you was tenderly given
back to kind mother earth. How
short your span of life on earth,
as we count the years; but how
very long in doing deeds of kind
ness for those with whom you were
associated. In Heaven with God
and fbe angels we feel sure those
kind hands are busy. Otherwise you
woud not he happy.
As a title girl you were thought
ful of others. Left motherless at
eighteen months of age you were
peculiarly my own special and very
dear charge through all your child
and girlhood years. How dearly I
loved you!
Once f saw you on the threshold
of eternity and you whispered,
Sister, it;’s alright, I’m not afraid.”
But your precious life was spar'd
to us and how beautifully and no
bly you gave of it to your loved
family and friends. Only those
closest to you knew of the many
times you went out into the high
ways, seeking the aged and sick,
bringing them to church, going in
to homes where there was sorrow
and comforting bereaved hearts,
tendely caring for anyone in trou
ble. Often you were ill yourself,
but how lovingly and humbly you
did it all, darling sister thankful
of an opportunity to serve the Sa
viour you loved so well. We know
that now you are reaping your re
ward.
Oh, how we who are left behind
grieve for you. The days without
your dear presence are so long and
weary, but we know that He who
rules the Heaven and earth knows
best, and while we stumble through
the dark like frightened children,
we will hold His hand and say,
“Thy will be done.”
To Edward, your heartbroken
husband who loved you so dearly,
to the four older children, Curtis,
Derby. Jean and Francis, to my
self and to our three dear brothers
I say “Follow the example she set
and we, too, shall sit at the Mas
ter’s feet and hear the words. Well
i
done, thou good and faithful ser
j vant.’ ’’
To Frederick Eugene, the wee
new babe, named for my loved hus
band, lias been left a rich and glo
rious heritage. May we be given
the power and wisdom to guide
those little feet along the path his
lovely Christian mother would have
him trod.
We must carry on as best we can
but as we loved you in life so do
we miss you in death.
Again, goodnight, sweet sister,
until the morning comes when those
dear eyes will open with recogni
tion and love for those who now
mourn, but wall then rejoice and be
happy evermore.
Always and forever. “Sister.”
Mrs. F. E. Squires, Livonia, N. Y.
