feet stand of three stalks tn the hill
would make l0.668 stalks per acre.
Granting that seed with the above
vitality would give only an 80 per
cent stand, it would mean 2l33 miss
ing stalks per acre; and allowing an
average cured ear of seven ounces
per stalk. this would mean a loss per
acre of thirteen bushel, Carrying
the matter one step farther-and
granting that when a bushel of seed
corn has been properly graded, there
remains an amount sufficient to plant
only five acres-we find the real diff
| ference between a bushel of corn
that gives a perfect stand, and one
that gives an 80 per cent stand. to
be a matter of sixtv-five bushels at
husking time. Figuring this amount
at any price that is reasonable, one
cannot but condemn the use of seed
corn of such low vitality.
1t is true that when the farmer
knows his seed corn has a vitality Of
but 20 per cent. he al arrange to
drop more corr per hill. Logically,
he will raise the percentage of stand
by so doing, but he has done moth.
ing to get rid of the weakly stalks,
and is bound TO have a certain per
centage of crowded bills. and when
he has husked the small ears of the
crowded hill, and the ''nubbin' of
the weakly stalk, he has reaped the
harvest of poor management. and
should be wiser as to what is good
seed corn.

SOUTH SEED CORN
FAILS IN NORTH
Season Not Long Enough to Fully
Ripen,

0. M. Olson in Northwestern Ag-
riculturist:
Growers and dealers in seed corn
in the south were 60 successful in
d~isposing of their stock il the north
west last spring that they are now
making special efforts to interest
prospective customers in a supply
for the crop of 1913. They catalog
| extra early varieties which are said
to ripcn in seyenty-fiye to ninety
days. and at the same tint yield i'm
mense crops. They also have attrac-
tive schemes for selling their pro-
duct through banks, real estate
offices and other sources, which are
more or less interested liz a corn
crop, but are not authority On seed
that is best adapted to northwestern
conditions. Thousands Of acres
planted to corn last spring with seed
that came from the south, was al
most worthless to growers because
it did not ripen, and the fodder was
so coarse tina, it made forage a trife
better than cane fish poles. Many
law suits have been threatened
against dealers who sold the oisap-
pointing seed corn 70 planters who
bought it. because it was said to be
an early variety and would ripen in
side Of three months. The grower
in the south, no doubt, was correct
in this statement, but the same seed
planted in the northwest, where the
nights are cool, would not mature a
crop inside of $50 days.
Stock finished on soundly ripe
Minnesota or North Dakota grown
corn is quite sure to top the market.
Don't be persuaded to plant south
ern grown seed corn next spring,
regardless of the VARIETY.
Good Seed Corn
What is good seed corn? When a
farmer has tested his seed corn by
the single ear method and finds that
some OF it gives a vigorous germina-
ton Of 80 per cent, the question
arises as to the comparative value of
such ears. In answer. it, might be
well to study the probabilities.
There are 1856 hills per acre when
corn is planted forty.two inches
apart each way. This, with a per-
