THE STORING
:. or SEED CORN
to Observe to In
sure termination.

There are only three necessary con-
diti6ns for storing seed corn, and II
these are followed one may be reason
ably sure that 80 per cent or more OF
his corn will terminate. provided it
was properly maturcd. writes a Min
nesota farmer in American Agricultur-
ist.
There must he ! good circulation of
air about each ear to carry away the
surplus moisture.
A temneratlire must be maintained
above freezing until tho seed is thor
oughly dry
Seed corn must be selected early
enough so that il may have plenty of
time to dry before cold weather
Numerous tests Of seel corn have
been made. OF al the. thousands Of
samples tested, those. that were taken
from house attic. where there was
good circulation of air, gave the
highest per cent of termination Sec
ond in per cent Of termination was
seed corn stored in Il cellar in which
there was a heating plant. Cellars
without furnaces are usually damp
and undesirable for storing. Samples
of seed corn stored in oat bins, on
porches, under the caves of barns and
in open sheds have also been tested
and they usually gave tests too low
for the seed to be of value for plant
ing. 1t is easily seen that seed corn
kept in an attic or an unused second
story room can have the required con
ditions for drying namely. good cir
culation of air and IN even tempera
ture above the freezing point.
