Look out for Seed Corn Now.

III Is no eXaggerat ton to say that
millions OF dollars are lost every wear
from planting seed corn that will not
grow. We tested number of sam
pies last spring, Of corn of our own
growing aud from some OF the best
farmers in the neighborhood. and did
not find one that was uniformly good.
Some OF the ears from the outsi lie of
the crib would be good, but those from
the inside would he poor. Farmers
would say, Il know good seed corn
when | see il, and will warrant this 20
grow; : but on testing it, more than
half tue kernels would not terminate.
The trouble is not due so much to i'm
maturity, as to the careless method of
gathering and keeping the corn. If
the corn is thoroughly dry when put in
the crib. and afterwards kept dry, the
chances are that it will prove good.
The growers of seed sweet-corn. the
late varieties of which are exceedingly
difficult to cure properly, build mar
row racks on which the ears are spread
out for several days or weeks. There
is a general impression that corn for
seed should be left growing till it is
thoroughly matured. This is a mis-
take. Practically, it is far safer TO cut
corn for seed very early and let it RI
pen in the shock, than to run the risk
of having it nipped by an early frost,
or of having the curing delayed by the
shorter days and damp weather of the
late season. The first point is to get
the corn thoroughly dry before putting
in the crib. And then the crib should
be very narrow and with open stats at
bottom and sides and good wide
roof, to keep off driving rains. If the
these conditions canaot be secured, all
the only way we can be sure Of good
seed corn is to select the best ears and
leave the husks attached to the butts
and tie them up in traces and hang the
traces in an airy barn or room for the
winter. The farmers who had such
corn last spring, could get their own
price for it, american Agriculturist
