Mention The Rerlew when yon write 



two ears that came true. I said to 

 myself, "If the mother blood in these 

 two ears is strong enough to over- 

 come the influence of the male parent, 

 perhaps I have something worth while 

 yet." I planted both ears in the next 

 year's plot, and my theory proved 

 ?(''>ind, for I was disappointed neither 

 •^ type nor yield. 



The Second Year's Breeding. 



T^rom our better yielding rows we 



select ears for the next year's breed- 

 ing and proceed as before, being care- 

 ful, however, not to plant too near 

 each other such ears as were near 

 neighbors the last year; this is to pre- 

 vent close breeding, which is next 

 thing to inbreeding. 



Another and perhaps better method 

 of conducting the first year's work is 

 to use but one-half the corn on each 

 original ear for planting, carefully 

 preserve the balance and number the 



ear to correspond with the row planted 

 from it. Then, instead of selecting 

 ears from the plot for the second 

 year's planting, use the corn left on 

 the original ears represented by the 

 rows which we wish to perpetuate. 

 The corn in our second year's plot 

 would therefore not be contaminated 

 by pollen from the rows which we are 

 discarding. If this method is followed, 

 no detasseling is done during the first 

 year. [to be continued. 1
