The small seed corn house shown in the accompanying diagrams should be built at least 3 feet off the ground and set on concrete piers, writes J. Dwight Funk in the Breeders Gazette.

First, I would say, begin corn breeding work upon a small scale. I would emphasize this because you can give small plat more attention and it is better to make a big improvement In a small lot of corn than a small improvement in a large lot. A small plat planted with the few very best ears will produce enough to provide a fine quality of seed corn for the general crop the following season. To begin with, you should secure a few good ears of the very best variety for your conditions. If you have not already got it, it may be advisable to conduct a small variety test of those varieties which appear to suit your conditions. In this preliminary work the varieties should be planted ' side by side under the same conditions and a careful study of each made. Having selected the variety with which you wish to begin, give up all others and keep the variety pure by careful selection and keeping the breeding plant isolated so that pollen from other fields cannot reach it You can always find a spot upon the farm where a small plant can be isolated. There are Just as good reasons for keeping a variety of corn pure as there are for keeping a breed of live stock pure. For the breeding plat we should always select a good, clean piece of ground, where the corn can be given the very best attention. Dont be afraid of spending too much time on this small plat. If you use the product as seed for the next years field crop, you will be many times repaid for the extra trouble. . Flant each two ears in alternate rows and detassel all the rows of one of the ears, to prevent and select seed for next year's plat from the detasseled rows. All breeding should be towards a single, definite typo. In carrying out this we must keep in mind the size, form and color of the ear; the form, depth, shape, roughness and hardiness of the kernel; the covering of butts and tips; the time of maturity, etc. The character and size of the stalk and the root and leaf development, as well as the position and character of the shank, must also be kept In mind. A good, vigorous stalk may make the difference between a good and poor crop, especially when seasons are unfavorable. Productiveness must, of course, al- ways be a leading Interest and all barren and weak stalks should be destroyed before they shed pollen. The careful corn breeder should be personally acquainted with each and every stalk in the breeding plat and a record of the pedigrees of each for seed in the breeding plat should be kept.
