Mr.. Ralph Bolton,

Dear Sirs.
We have some re
suits of tests of corn at short
courses where we have been.
At Cedar Falls we tested six
kernels from each of A!5 ten ca
samples. There were only {"
samples in which every kerne
grew. There were 8 to 8 sam
pies in which every one of thu
60 kernels were dead. At For
est City we tested 40 samples
in the same way and found only
one sample in which there were
no dead kernels. Five samples
were entirely dead.
At most of the short course
corn shows we found from one
fourth to one-half of the ears
unfit to plant. In some locali
ties however, West Liberty for
instance, the seed was excep.
tionally good. One party at
Aurelia writes that they tested
10 bushels saved the first part
of the corn picking time and
found so per cent dead. Anoth-
er at Pella tested kernels from
as many different ears and
found S. dead. Another party
at West Liberty tested 419 ears
and had to discard only 36.
Another at Parkersburg dis
carded 18 out of 200. Another
at Humboldt saved seed the
year the last of September and
stored it (where it has been
perfectly safe for the years
past). He found less than Is
percent of i. growing. Another
party at Northwood found II
dead ears out of 100 in seed
saved in September and hung
up in a good place. There
were Il dead ears in another
100 of the same mans seed
which he saved at cribbing
time and hung just as carefully
in the same place as the other.
In response to a letter sent
out to papers asking men who
have seed to sell to report to
this department we have heard
4 from Is men who have seed to
sell and from % men who wish
to buy seed.
/ My judgement is that seed
corn will be very scarce in the
Northern and Eastern parts Of
the state where l have spent
most of the winter in short
course work. You cannot over
emphasize the need of testing
seed this spring and also the
value of using home, grown
seed rather than the importee
from a distance.
If 1 can be of any further
service to you let me hear from
you.
Yours very truly,
nj. K. Moser.
