let it get away from you ogain,
this year, and find yourself sending to
Iowa or Missouri next spring. OF
course not all corn growers can afford
a breeding plot, but they surely can
take good care OF their corn-and they
ought to do it. for their own protec-

Corn contains a high per cent of
moisture when harvested and is likely
to be injured by freezing, or if not
dried out properly may become moldy.

farmers to select their seed corn from

the crib in the spring just before
planting. By this method seed corn
of an inferior grade is often used.
There is less chance for making the
best selection from the crib, and the
seed will be of lower vitality than if
properly cared for, and the reduced
yield, on account of the inferior/seed,
is likely to be greater than any ex-
pense incurred in the proper selection
and care of the seed.
Some advise selecting seed corn in
the field before husking time. This
method requires considerable time,
but has some advantages. The seed
can be selected because of plant fac
tors as well as ear characters. Only
ears from well-developed stalks should
be taken. A good ear of corn pro-
duced where the stand is perfect
ought to be better than a similar ear
produced where some of the plants
