STORING SEED CORN.
BY Prof. p. G. Holden.

CSational Crop Improvement Service.)
BY this time all of the corn which
is to be used for seed next spring
should be safely stored away. protect
ed from the frost and cold of winter
The care of seed corn Is the most i'm
portant duty of the corn grower. Hsrs
are few reminders:
First Be sure that you gathered
your seed corn early, before frost
from the field. selecting the bes
ears.
Second. Be sure you gathered
enough of 1t, as your neighbors may
not have been as fortunate as your
self in securing a good stand to select
from, and may call upon you.
Third. Do not depend upon the Grill
for seed corn.
Fourth. DO not store seed corn II
barrels or boxes, 1t will gather mois
ture and mold or freeze.
Fifth. Do not put immature Of
freshly gathered seed corn In a warn
room. on the floor, or In piles.
Sixth. Do not store over the laun
dry nor over the stable. II should b,
hung up where it will receive tn,
freest circulation of air.
Seventh. Do not store seed corn II
a damp cellar. A furnace room is al
right. Hang 1t where the mice cannot
bother It.
Eighth. Taking all things into con
sideration, there is no place better
than the attic. Experiments show
that it is the very best place to hang
up seed corn.
We cannot afford to be careless
with our seed corn. Poor seed means
a poor stand. Not only is a portion oil
our field idle, but we must cultivate
the missing hills and the poor, worth
less stalks, and we receive nothing in
return.
Thousands of farmers work more
than a third every day on ground that
produces nothing.
1t Is quite generally supposed that
II seed sprouts in the spring 1t is all
right. AS matter Of fact, much OF
1t has often been so weak that 1t will
not grow, especially If the ground 10
cold or the seed is planted too deep
Take care of your seed corn and you
Will not regret 1t when you gather
your crop next fall

beth Atkinson of this city and al
so an aunt of Mrs. Paul E. Coil

of her death. The husband sur
wives her besides two sons: DIR.

and Leslie Ragsdale, who lived
with his parents. The father,
j. NJ. Beagles, of Nevada, Mo-, al

GRAIN SHUTS.
Use Of Formaldehyde Cheapest, and
Easiest Applied, and the Most e.
fectlvs Remedy for Oats,
Wheat and Barley
SHUTS.
BY e. NJ. FREEMAN,
Agricultural Exp. Station, University
of Mimi


(Natlonal Crop Improvement Service.)
The tribute levied by smuts upon the
grain crops amounts to millions Of
dollars year. The yield of oats is
often decreased as much as 20 to 20
per cent. by smut. The smut Of bar
ley or oats will not affect wheat; nor
will the smut of wheat affect barley
or oats.
Among the various chemicals
which, applied to seedgrain. will kill
the smut spores formalin-a COM
mercfal preparation containing 40 per
cent, formaldehyde-is said to be the
cheapest, the easiest applied and the
least dangerous to use. A solution
should be made of one pound Zone
pint Of formalin to as gallons OF
water This amount will treat about
60 to 100 bushels OF wheat and 80 to
rs bushels of oats. II one hasn't a
smut-treating machine, a simple meth
I'd of applying the solution Is to
spread the seed on the granary floor
and spray the solution over 1t with a
common garden sprinkling-can. The
solution is not effective at low tenn.
perature hence the seed should not
be treated during cold weather While
the seed is being sprayed, 1t should be
shoveled over and over, until the
seed is thoroughly moistened. After
the grain has been sprayed, It is a
good plan to shovel 1t into pile and
cover the mass of seed with a few
sacks or blankets, so the vapor may
act on the smut spores II any have
escaped the solution. In an hour the
sacks or blankets may be removed
and the grain allowed to dry before
seeding.
II is usually best to treat seed the
day before seeding, but It may be
done earlier in the season II desired
When seed Is treated some weeks be
fore seeding 1t should be allowed tc
dry thoroughly before storing In bins
or sacks. When the seed-grain 1,

bins should be thoroughly swept out
and sprinkled with formalin, to avoit

of the bin. The drill-box and sacks
should likewise be treated, to avoit

Grain Cleaned Free

National Crop Improvement service.l
An excellent plan inaugurated by a
number of elevators In Minnesota is
that OF cleaning grain delivered by
the farmers free of charge, when ask
ed and then after grading out from
to 80 per cent. of the best part de-
EVered, allowing the farmers to take
It home for the next years planting
While the farmers could well afford
to pay reasonable charge for this
work, the elevator companies are wise
enough to see that good seed means
a larger bulk and better quality to
