A SEED CORN TALK
by Prof. r. A. Moore.

During the i've years work with
corn at the experiment station a few
things have been learned that are of
vital interest to the corn breeder.
For improvement of yield we should
observe careful selection of seed ears
when stalk study is permissible. The
ears should not be taken from the
stalks until we'll matured. Seed corn
should not be dumped on floor, but
hung up in q well-ventilated room or
top of corn crib to dry. A well-ven-
tilated furnace room is an admirable
place to cure corn. A small outside
building, well ventilated, with corn
racks arranged, and shielded stove in
center Of room, is preferable for dry
ing large amounts Of seed corn. After
seed corn is we'll dried it will stand
cold weather without serious results.
The ear we desire should be cylin-
drical and true to type; tapering ears
are Objectionable, as they do not
carry Uniform kernels. Kernels should
be Of medium depth and Of practically
the same width from butt to tip of ear,
with edges fitting closely from crown
to cob. Ears having 16 to 20 rows
are preferable for our latitude, as by
carrying that number Of rows they dry
out more readily than II carrying
The Wahpeton times. [volume] (Wahpeton, Richland County, Dakota [N.D.]) 1879-1919, 1907-08-01

more. A slightly roughened seed coat
is desirable, and the corn should come
we'll down around the shank, which
should be of medium size. The tips
Of the ears should be fairly well filled,
but do not discard the ear If few tip
kernels are missing when other good
characteristics are present.
Ears should be of uniform size,
eight to ten inches in length, and six
to seven inches in circumference. Uni
formity in size of ear usually carries
with it uniformity in size of kernels.
The secret Of good crops is largely
in the seed. Only the best should be
Planted. No uniformity of stand can
be secured unless seed has good ger.
1ninating power All corn of doubtful
character should be tested. General
test should first be made by taking at
least two kernels from each of so
ears and making test in simple plate
tester. If test is from sc to 100, strong
and vigorous, and corn was cured un.
der similar conditions, the farmer can
be reasonably certain the corn is all
right. Resort to the ear test, if gen.
eral test Is low, or if any doubt ex-
lists, as it will amply repay for time
and trouble
