HARVESTING Seed CORN
The Time to Lay Plans for 1914 Crop
Has Arrived and Proper Care viii
Increase Yield .,3

= If the farmers Of Minnesota are to
have good corn crop in 1913, it is
time to lay plans for it now. Every
corn crop starts with the gathering
of seed. The difference in yield of
next years corn crop resulting from
seed gathered at the proper time in
the proper way, and the seed as ordi-
narily handled, may mean many
bushels per acre.
The best time to gather seed corn
is. before the first killing frost, which
in Minnesota usually comes between
September 10 to 20 In a normal sea-
son if the corn is acclimated it should
be far enough along toward maturity
so that good seed can be gathered at
this time. Most farmers know that
to get best results from seed corn, it
should be gathered before the corn is
ready for husking.
When large proportion of the ear
lier ears show the dent beginning. to
harden, the seed corn day has arrived.
The best part of the field should be
worked first, examining every hill
with the eye, at least. Whenever a
desirable ear is found it should he
gathered providing it is produced on
a hill that has full stand of corn.
No seed ear should be gathered from
hills of corn with less than three
well-developed stalks. It will be no.
ticed that the larger and more fully
developed ears are produced on the
hill that have from one to two stalks.
1t is undesirable to use these ears for
seed as their size can be accounted
for from the fact that they had less
competition in life, rather than in
herent tendency to produce heavily.
Seed corn gathering should be re-
garded as specific duty that must be
performed on certain day and as
soon as that day comes all of the
work must bedropped and all turned
into the cornfeld to gather seed. In
no other way can the best results be
secured.-L. B. Bassett, University
