The time of year is at hand when
the proper kind of storage place
must be made for the seed corn
which every careful farmer has Sc
1ected by this time
Since the thing to be sought is the
thorough drying of the corn in as
short time as possible, any method
which will expose the corn to free
currents of air and protect 1t from
all dampness Is good one.
Spreading on scsffolds.
The common method of spreading
corn in thin layers on a scaffold over
barn floor, corn crib, wagon shed
or Toulouse is good one, provided
ventilation can be secured, and
should be encouraged where no bet.
ter method Is practicable or possible.
Tying and Hanging.
Tying in small punches by the use
of twine or hL-ks and hanging in a
good dry place has some merits; but
1t is a rather slow method where
several bushels are to be handled.
Drying Racks.
Specially built racks in which the
ears can be piled up in single ranks
like wood, are very desirable. These
racks can be separated by just
enough room for one walk between
and thus allow free circulation Of
air. Such racks have special merit
when different varieties are being
stored. or when the product of any
test is to be kept in separate com.
partments.
Storing In oat Bin.
Many farmers are using and rec.
ommending highly the method OF
storing new corn in the upper layers
OF the oat bin. The oats are usually
quite 6ry by the time the corn is
harvested, and the damp corn buried
In the oats seems to lose its mois'
ture quite rapidly. The corn buried
in the oat bin is undoubtedly pro-
tected in a measure from the severe
cold later in the winter.
Storing In Attic.
A method of storing seed corn
which combines thorough drying with
protection from severe cold Is the
qui common method of using the
attic. When a roomy attic is avail
able, and corn can be hung out OF
the way of rats or mice, or perhaps
better yet, stored in wire screened
cage, it is probably in about as near.
ly a perfect condition as is possible
Special Dry-House.
On some of the larger farms of the
state, especially where seed corn is
raised in a commercial way, 1t is
certainly practicable to build cheaT
structure fitted with racks for the
storing of corn, and provided with
some means of supplying artificial
| heat.
In localities where the general In
! terest in good seed corn is strope
/ enough the community drying house
! is surely practical investment
Such a drying house can be built Sc
as to contain all the essentials of {
more elaborate plant, and yet no
cost more than two hundred and fifty
dollars.
The states average, 80 bushels pc
acre, can be most surely increased
by taking good care of seed corn.
