Great complaint Is made by the farm
ers about the corn not coming up. One
man has planted three times, and still has
failed to get a stand. The reason given
for this failure i that the proper care is
not taken with seed corn. Most farmers
cut their corn before il Is fully matured
and expect to get good seed from il. Corn
intended for seed should be allowed to
stand until the shuck becomes dry. Green
corn will not do for seed.
