IDEAL METHOD or TREATING SEED CORN.
From bulletin OF United States depart
ment OF agriculture
the precaution mentioned above was
unnecessary. Many farmers believe
that their autumns are so dry that
such care is supertluous. Seed corn in
every locality gathered at ripening
time will be benefited by drying as
suggested. If left in the husk long
after ripening It may sprout or mil
dew during warm. wet weather or be-
come infested with weeyils.
The vitality of seed IS often reduced
by leaving 1t in Il sack or in pile for
even day after gathering During
warm weather. with some moisture in
the cobs and kernels, the ears heat or
mlldew In remarkably short time
The best possible treatment immedi-
ately after gathering is shown in the
illustration. Binder Irvine will sup
port fifteen or twenty ears on string
arranged In the manner Illustrated
Ordinarily the best place 10 hang these
strings of ears is In an open she'd or
loft
Permanent seed racks. with n scpa-
rate compartment for each ear. are
more convenient than the use Of binder
Irvine. and when they are located In n
dry. breezy place the ears dry success
fully.
