quantity and quality of seed corn
available for mex years planting. APP
~parently, the early frost and contin-
ued damp, cold weather has a more
detrimental effect on the seed corn
than farmers realize. In one case
seven ears were taken from corn
which had been saved, not N of
which showed good, strong germina-
ton, and in another case a large
number OF grains We're taken from
different ears in q sample that has
been put up in the driveway of the
~granary, half of which were dead, and
all of the balance weak, which indi-
Gates that the seed corn will have to
undergo a very severe termination
test next spring before it will be safe
to plant.
