And iu proof of this fact, here is th"

"Ii was in November,/ 1010, and

The weather had been good, but we1
were a little late with the harvest, j
The men were going through the tied j
with the wagon in the usual way
gathering the corn, and the harvest j
was a promising one.
"We have a sort of corn show at 1
my farm ad the time, and there Is ai j
ways an award for exceptionally aon i
ears of corn -ears sufficiently true to
t\pe to permit of their being exhih [

corn wagon in which the mast perfect
ears are thrown. These, when prop ;
c: ly selected, constitute the seed corn. |
and among these more perfect rars
we occasionally find an ear that we
are willing to exhibit in a contest. 1
