From "Ex- aming and Grading ; varieties for the State (Fig. 140). The writer's experience, however, is not yet sufficiently extensive so that he can recommend this variety to the exclusion of others and it is very probable that no single variety can ever be found which will prove to be superior in all sections of the State. If the grower is cultivating a strain which has given him satisfactory results it would be a good sort to breed regardless of whether or not it is a known variety. The sort which the grower is going to use in his breeding having been decided upon a field should be planted with the best available seed. If a large (juantity of this corn is available the best possible ears should be selected for planting seed and these planted by the ear-to-row method used in planting the breeding plot as described below. A field of several acres should be planted in order to furnish sufficient plants so that a good selection can be made. This should be placed in a field where the soil is as uniform as is possible to obtain. Making the first selection of corn. When the corn begins to rij^en the work of selection should begin. In this State where carliness is so important the selections should be made when the earliest stalks ripen and begin to dry. At this time the grower can judge the degree of carliness quite accurately, and can limit his.
