Field Selected Corn Gives Best Yields Plant all the grains of corn on a ear in one long row nad one of tle resulting stalks will produce twice as much corn as the stalk from another grain. This is one reason why seed corn must be selected in the field if the variety is to be . improved and developed. "Good seed is one of the chief fac tors in corn production," says G. M. Garren, cereal agronomist at State College. "High yielding strains and varieties can only be developed by persistent field selection of seed in the fall. This is better than crib selection in winter or next spring because the plant as a whole must be considered when getting at the basis of high production."1 Mr. Garren made a test at the Mountain Branch station near Swan nanoa in 1926. He planted 23 rows, each ', 109 feet long, using the seed from an individual ear on each row. The high producing row contained 48 stalks and produced 47 pounds of ears. The lowest yielding row con tained 44 stalks and produced only 22 pounds of ear to the row. Cer tainly, he states, corn from the first row would outyicld that' from the other and these desirable traits in corn growing can only be discovered by studying the plants in the field. . The grower must keep in mind the type of corn that he wishes to grow. The dairy farmer wants a. different corn from that desired by. the market gardener or the crop farmer. The average crop farmer wants a vigorous, broad-leafed stalk of medium height wit htwo . good ears growing about half-wav up the stalk. The ears ought to be sound and symmetrical and bear about 16 rows of smooth capped grains of medium depth. A good high yielding corn of this kind may be developed by field selection. Such corns as Southern Beauty, In dian Chief, Cocke's Prolific and others in North Carolina were developed by this method. Commission at $203,717, or $112,305 less. ' The result of course is that the county has approximately $100,000 less property tp lew tax ' against, and that other taxpayers will have to make up the difference. . The assessed valuation of the tim ber was cut from $211,022 to $150,000, or from approximately $14 an acre to $10 an acre. The band mill's assessed valuation was tut from $35,000 to $4,000, or ap proximately one-ninth of the first valuation. 1 , Other property on which valuations were cut follows: one' locomotive, from $6,000 to $4,000; one loader, from $2,000 to $1,000; 34 log cars from , a total of $5,000 to $1,700 ;( tools from $2,000 to $500; and cross tics, from $25,000 to $12,517. liams, Mrs, Ruth Williams, Mrs. Effic Jones and Mrs. Stella Smith, all of Tucapaw; and Mrs. Sophronie Dunn, of Bryson City, North Carolina; Mrs. Tobitha Feezell, of Wilder, Va.; two brothers, Alex and James Keener, of North Carolina; two sisters, Mrs. Amanda Haskett and Mrs. Mary Jen nings, of .
