HOME DROWN SUED .IS.
REST: FOCR ni: WINS.
(By A C. Hartenbower. in The Ok-
lahoma Farmer-Stockman. >
You can grow the seed corn for
your farm better than any other mao
Why? Here are some of the most
important reasous
First’ home-grown seed is'adapted
to our soil and clim i * ivnditons.
This is all important and is many
times the thing that means success
instead* of failure. We know that
lfvestock must be acclimated; that
wlren we s*?nd off a distance from
home for new stock we expect to give
it*some time to becopie used to our
peculiar condition* We realize this
and take extremely good care of live*
stock so purchased. But, many are
the crop growers who appreciate that
fact and yet send long distances each
and every season for seed corn,’pos-
sibly purchasing it as far'as 5u0
miles north, for example, of their
;---:-:—
own farm. When seed is purchased
such a distance from home, it will
often fail, because it may require
from.two to three years to become
accustomed to the new conditions.

Improving , rype °.
Second, by growing seed corn, our-
selves we are enabled to bring about
a gradual improvement. Corn toda.f
is better; that is. more productive
and of more desirable quality*, than
it was a few years a40. Improvement
has come. But even today there are
many improvements that we would
like in the corn on our farms We
want a larger yield, a lower stalk,
stalks with two ears to the plant, or
some such characteristics that the
corn we are now’ growing does not
possess • We know that, such an im-
proved ebrn would be better adapted
to the uses for whieh we grow corn.
And atll 1 wf» send away for feed
{‘trusting, ‘perhaps, _ that the othei
1 growers desire exactly the same ehar-
1 acteristics in their coni that we .!■>
'in'ours But. in the great majority
of cases, the other man has selected
his seed corn for entirely individual
^characteristics and it may be tha.t
jsueh characteristics arc almost the
comrary of those Jliat we want.’ So.
then it becomes necessary,- if we
would bring corn into our held that
possesses the characteristics we want,
that we practice simple selection and
grow our seefl corn on our own
farms.
Third, the satisfaction thaV will
come as a grower of our own seed.
And.that amounts to a‘. whole lot!
The man who has never grown’ his®
.own seed corn cannot, of course, ap-
preciate the pride that farmers who
grow' theit ow n seed corn feel. 'But a

AND I1EIU THE BIGHT FOOD PLAYS i MUSI IMPORTANT PART.
" Growing children heed energy; the right kind and lots of it. And.
ehergy comes from well nourished nerves and brain.
Grape=Nuts
—a food made from wheat and barley, contains the vital mineral salts
—Phosphate of Potash, etc. (grown in the grains) which directly act
with other food values to build up body, brain and nerves.

Statistics prove that much of the “backwardness’’ of some child-,
rfcn is due to faulty nourishment.

ate it is not all Bell ( >da> Hap-'
pincss com.* from an\ uplift that one
may gtve his fellows If one or
more men in every community were
to commence to grow their own seed
corn add established tip* fact that
such a * practice was successful and
tended to improve conditions on the
farm, the‘uplift to that community
would be worth more than you w ould
estimate it. A community corn breed-
ing association would l>«* tin* prob-
able result—‘and it is tile working ®tt>-
gether.in these things that brings re-
sults. The community breeding idea
would not be confined to seed corn
breeding alone, but would extend to
other lines of’ agricultural work—
probably resulting'in the community
breeding of .all kinds -of seed and
even of livesttwk Would this have
value?
If it w ere a hercuelan task’to select
and improve seed.corn, there would
be a real excuse for purchasing it
from a man who inakds It a practice
to grow it for the‘market. But it is
easy. Any farmer should not stand
back because he thinks lie cannot do
it—he,can do it! And he can do it
,well!
(■etting tlio Idea in Mind.
• it' w« would.obtain the greatest re-
sult^ from# selecting and improving
our seed corn we should, in th** first
place, have an ideal. Write it down
if you do not have an exceptionally
good meniory By an ideal I mean a
written picture or a. mental picture
of .t he i< Ind of corn tha 1 wa nted
the kind tijat we believe will tie
’adapted to our local conditions. lij
this particular, we can consider the
type of tile plan as well as the type
of esfr. 1 make up my mind whether
i drtBire a low, medium, or tall plant;
a plant with niapy,or few luavds; a
plant that has the ear’low or medium
set on it; a plant, with the •shanks
holding the ears upward, at right
angles, or bending downward; or a
’plant, that may possess- other char-
acteristics that 1 ’consider desirable.
Then I consider the kind of ear. 1
decide such questions as; Will a
.medium, small or larg * cob be best?
•Is a shallow or deep kerneled type
most valuable to me, etc. 1 try to
#take int<4 consideration all of the |
points that go to make a good ear
of corn for my local conditions.
What next? Here it* 18; I select
plants and ears that •meet*thosd re-
uirements and ke* p r. * tl.a ’*u
