Selecting Seed Corn.
Arkansas grows a good many
acres of corn but it is safe to say
hat on more than one-half of
6 entire crop acreage there Is
10 *!rown enough corn to really
hay tor the investment and labor.
er^ aie at least two important
eas°ns why Arkansas is not
• W]ng corn at a profit. The
4ft
land on much of the farming
portions of Arkansas has been
farmed too long with too little
attention given to soil fertility.
Our-farming lands must be made
richer through clovers and barn
yard manures before corn can be
produced at a profit.
The second reason why corn
cannot be produced successfully
is because few farmers have
attempted in a serious way to
improve their corn by breeding
or by field selection of seed.
September therefore is announc
ed by the Extension Division of
the University of Arkansas and
U. S. Department of Agriculture
as the month when farmers are
to be asked to select seed corn
from the field. Circulars will be
printed and distributed through
county agents, bankers and coun
ty judges and others calling at
tention to the rules for selecting
seed corn. While corn can be
selected any time in September
it is thought that more interest
wnnlH he rlevelnnerl if a snecial
day is selected as “Seed Selec
tion Day.” Therefore, Mr. W.
J. Jernigan, State Agent for
Boys' Corn Club work and Mr.
C. W. Watson, State Demonstra
tion Agent, have designated
Sept. 27 as the day when all corn
club boys and farmers carrying
on demonstrations and others in
terested will be asked to go to
the fields and select seed corn;
selecting well formed ears from
medium sized stalks, stalks any
where from 7 to 10 feet high,
ears above 4 to 5 feet from the
ground and hanging down, stalks
with plenty of foliage and with
good root systems.
Each farmer should select
about three times as many ears
'as he will expect to plant, hang
them up in sheds until winter
then take down, sorting again
and storing properly for the win
ter, later sorting again, taking
off tips and butts and shelling
and grading just before planting
time. It is hoped that one hun
dred farmers in each county may
be secured as “seed corn demon
strators” and it is hoped that all
of the three thousand boys in the
corn clubs will select their seed
corn on September 27.
