WHY AND HOW TO Sc
CURE GOOD SEED CORN

The first requisite for a good crop
of corr is good seed secured from a
crop that was grown in your locality.
Too often we depend upon imported
seed which invariably brings disap-
pointing results for several years,
says John Klinka, agricultural rep
resentative of University Of Wiscon-
sin Experiment Station.
Seed corr should be selected, as
far as possible and practicable in
the district in which it is to be
grown, and about a week before the
first killing frost is expected. In
northern Wisconsin this time usually
falls between the 10th and 18th of
September. Some where between
these two dates the careful corn
grower will go through his cornfield
and select his seed corn. If the o r
is fairly we'll matured a light frost
will not hurt the husk covered ears
but they should be picked, husked
and put to fire drying the day follow
ing hte frost.
The first test to apply to seed corn
is maturity. In the northern part of
Wisconsin where every day must be
/ utilized for ripening a crop the ques-
ton of getting seed that has matured
in our latitude is of prime import
ance. W. want a corn that will ma
ture nine years out of every ten and
this lori can only be secured from
our own cornfields by selecting the
best matured ears one week before
the usual time for the killing frost.
We want to raise large corn and get
big yields per acre, but maturity
must not be sacrificed for size.
Having made u selection of
abou tdouble the amount of corr we
expect to plant, our task is by no
means completed. The ears, if left
only over night when the weather is
damp, will become covered with
J molds which will terminate and
produce more spores or mold seeds
which will become parasites and feed
upon the young plants when the seed
terminates the following spring.
AS soon as the seed corr is picked
it must be cured. Many devices have
been used for drying seed corn. The
most common Of these are single
string, double string. corn tree.
frame covered with chicken wire and
boards into which finishing nails
have been driven. In the last meth
id the seed ears are jabbed onto the
nails. This device has the advan-
tages over the others. 1t is mex
p~ensive and easily made. When the
corn is tested in spring the ears can
be numbered very easily by writing
the figures on the boards below the
ears.
The curing of seed corn is depend
ent upon two conditions-a free cir
culation of air and a temperature
above freezing until the corr is
thoroughly dried. These conditions
can best be secured by fire drying

THE CHURCHES AND

this prophecy of Amos. the love Of

restrain it, just as we have seen people
severe and yet read In their eyes or
noted In the tone OF their voice Il pathos
which proved how big their heart was
and how they lonscd to comfort aiid
soothc. Amos had no bitterness In his
heart as he spoke his strong words.
for he was the messenger of God. and
so knew the mercy of God.
SPEAKS NOT or GODS WRATH
WITHOUT DECLARING HIS LOVE
Let no man dare TO speak OF Gods
wrath without also declaring His ever
lasting love, Let no man tell Of hell
without also telling Of heaven. Alas
for the preacher who warns his peo-
pie with bitterness In his heart. in
stead OF having IL great plying love,
which throbs and signs through his
sevcrcst speech, az the wind in the
icrcest tempest sobs like a hungcrinS
soul. Love, after all. is the maste.
and so Amos ends his message with "A
bright promise. Christ enters here
as lie enters all through the old Tcs-
lament and the nnal peace of His king
dom is proclaimed. Perhaps this WAS
til" most, fearless part Of Anos's mes
sage. In the face OF All Isracl's
sin he declares the Savior. Well. dear

dcening love all else sinks away and
