FARMER RUsK ADVISES TO
SELECT SEED CORN EARLY
tBy f. w.Rusk. Audrain County Farm
Advisory

Adyiser.l
The seed for next years bumper
! corn crop should be selected within
The next two weeks. Many careful
farmers have already made the selee-
tion and have the corn carefully
stored away. They. Of course. have
done the work in good time, for much
Of the corr has been ripe enough to
gather for some time il properly
stored The point is to get the corn
gathered and stored in a dry, we'll
ventilated place before we have a
heavy frost At this season Of the year
eorn IS approximately 500 water and
a freeze under such circumstances IS
very likely to iniure a considerable
per cent Of the germs. whereas, when
the grain has been thoroughly dried
out, hard freezes do practically no
damage.
In selecting seed corn three or four
important points should be consid-
cred. In the first place, corr should
be selected from the field rather than
from the crib; in the field the
stalk may be selected as well as the
ear. One should select ears from we'll
matured, healthy. sturdy stalks which.
have only n ear at a medium height.
preferably dropping with medium
length shank. The ear should be me-
dunn size, well-proportioned. and
solid. II is desirable to have good
butts and tips and uniform kernels
arranged in straight rows.
Perhaps the most convenient meth
cd Of gathering is to tack a hoop in
the ton Of a two-bushel grain sack.
then tie a small rope about IA inches
long from the bottom corner to the
hoop Wrap this with cloth or old
gunnysaek to prevent cutting the
