VITALITY IN SEED CORN.
+ \
A VERY NECESSARY THING TO
- INSURE CROPS.
Results From Tests To Determine
The Effects Of Corn Gathered
At Different Periods.
Weekly Agricultural Letter.


It's 9ir ohlyimportant that seed corn
shall g"ow when it is planted,
bat' it is Of great importance
',hat it has strong terminating power.
How 10 get seed corn of strong vitality,
is one Of the most important things
connected with the seed corn business.
Ordinarily the farmers do not believe
that corn which has matured well viii
be materially affected by standing in
the open field some time after it has
ripened or from the effects of low tenn
perature through the winter.
Some tests were made last year by tho
U. S. Department OF Agriculture on the
seed corn farm Of Funk Bros, Blooming
ton, ILL.,, to determine the effects on the
vitality of seed corn gathered at different :
season Of the year and stored by differ
corn gathered in September did not
germiaate as well as the corn gathered
III October, neither did tho corn gatherd
in december germinate as we'll as the
corn gathered either in October or Sep
tember. About the middle of January
there Was a severe cold spell when the
temperature fell to % degrees below zero.
After this freeze, seed corn that had
been stored in an ordicary open crib and
had tested % percent berore the freeze
showed terminating qlality os only
Ga per cent after the freeze, In an
artiticial!y heated seed house the test
made before the freeze was 96S, while
after the freeze it was 81, or practically
the same as before.
Nov it is not profitable, perhaps, for
every farmer to maintain an artitcially
heated seed house FOR storing seed corn,
but every farmer has room in the house
where he can store the few bushels OF
seed corn that he Will need to plant, in
=. room where the temperature will not
go low enough to injure the vitality Of
the corn. In the above experiment it is
stated that not only did The per cent oI
grains which germinated go very low
but it was also noticeable that the grains
from the unprotected crib which die
germinate showed very poor vitality
The lack Of vigor and color and streng,
was noticeable in all the corn planted
from the open crib. If the corn couc
be kept perfectly dry, the danger wout
not be great in an open crib, but this il
impossible because the corn viii natur,
ally gather moisture after it has once
been dried out. The temperature wher,
the corn is kept should in no case b,
allowed to go below 20 degrees abov,
zero. Ten degrees above is considered
the danger point. GEO. B. ELLIS,
