"sEED CORN WEEK.
The Last Week in September or the
First Week In October Should Be
Set Aside as Seed Corn Week
In the Corn Belt.

We have "Arbor Day" Would It
not also be well to have a seed Corn
Day?" A day when everyone should
begin the harvesting and storing Of
his seed for the following spring. We
laugh at u g%randfathers for planting
their potatoes and sowing their grain
in the moon," that is, in certain
phases Of the moon. The value of
this practice lay, not in the fact as
supposed by many that the noon ex-
ercised any influence on the crop, but
in the having of a definite time and
plan for the doing of various things
on the farm.
II the harvesting Of seed corn, like
the feeding OF stock, came every day,
1t would be attended to on time, but
It is nothing more nor less than hui
man that the work which comes only
occasionally or once a year, as in the
case Of the harvesting Of seed corn
should be put OF or neglected alto
gether, unless there is a definite time
and plan for the work.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-09-17
WHY o RUN OUT.

The question is often raised as to
whether crops run out" or not. To
say that crops do not run out" would
be to deny that any variations are pro
duced by changed conditions or envi-
ronment. When plants are brought
into new conditions Of soil, climate,
or methods OF farming less favorable,
they will tend to d~eteriorate or run
out"
Desirable Qualities Suffer First In
der Unfavorable Conditions. If corn
is planted too thick (seven or eight
stalks per hill) a large yield Of foil
age will be obtained, but the yield of
grain will be small. Under unfavor-
able conditions the plant tends to re-
vert to its original condition, and the
particular thing for which the plant
is grown and which gives it value suf-
fers first and most.
Best Methods Necessary. It Is only
by the best methods of seed selection
and of cultivation that the farmer can
hope to maintain the valuable qualities
of his crops, otherwise they will dete-
riorate or run out" and it win be nee
essary for him to secure seed from
someone who has paid more attention
to the improvement of his crops.
The Lexington intelligencer. [volume] (Lexington, Mo.) 1901-1949, 1915-09-17

Ears should be of medium size, not
too long nor too short. If they are
too long they are likely to mature
late; If they are too short, they will
mature too early and will not produce
as large a quantity Of corn. Ears
which are too large around are late
maturing and are likely to have too
much cob; while ears which are too
slender will not yield a large amount
of corn.
Now we know what sort Of an a
is best for seed, but why should we
select it so early and why gather it
from the field? This is so we may
select as seed, corr which natures
early. In short seasons, when the
frosts come late in the spring OF early
in the fall, a late maturing corn will
not ripen for seed. We should have
corn which we are sure will ripen be-
fore the frosts. You understand, Of
course, that If frost touches the corn
before 1t ripens, the germ may be de-
stroyed and this corn will not grow,
When It is late enough so that all
the corn is ripened, we cannot tell
which ears ripened early; so we will
go into the field early and gather u
corn, selecting that which is already
matured.
Then we must know the type Of
stalk OF which the a grew.
Study bulletins and articles on Sc
lecting seed corr and let the schools
lead the county in this movement

year.

CORN WORK FOR SCHOOLS.
The Schools Should Help in the Move
ment to Save the Seed Corn for
Next Year.

Do not assign lessons by bulletins
and booklet. Teach by things, not
words, Then we shall be teaching the
boy and girl and not the subject.
Let the pupils go into the field and
select what they consider good ears
Of corn. Now, look them over for
strong and weak points.
They haven't been told what to look
for? True-but let us not tell them;
let us work it out together.
Shell of half the corn from two OF
three ears, keeping that from each
ear by itself. Measure the amounts
and compare them. Can you tell by
looking at the h~alf-shelled a why
n ear produces a larger amount OF
shelled corn than another ear Of ap-
parently the same size7
We must examine the kernels more
closely. Some are too short, some
taper too much, some are chaffy.
Some will not drop evenly in the
planter.

ing upright. The shank should be
short, as ears with long shanks are
harder to husk, and are more often
damaged. See that the husks are long
enough to cover the tip Of the ear,
but do not extend far beyond. If the
tip is left bare, It is likely to be dam
aged by insects or disease, and If the
husks extend far beyond the point Of
the ear they are usually tightly closed,
so that II cannot dry out well and is
difficult to husk.
There should be a medium growth
Of broad, thrifty leaves distributed
evenly over the stalk, and the plant
should be free from all form Of dis
ease, such as smut, rust, etc, and
should be free from suckers.
The advantages of this method Of
storing are first, that 1t gives better
protection from mice than when It
is spread on the floor, or corded in
piles or put in racks. Second, It gives
better circulation Of air, which al.
lows the corn to dry out quickly and
thoroughly. thus protecting It from
molding or sproGting and from being
frozen while 1t Is sappy. The greatest
enemy to good seed corn is freezing
while It still contains moisture, CON
s%eQuently there is more danger from
late harvesting than from too early
harvesting. However, It is not a good
plan to harvest seed while the corn Is
immature, as It is more dlficult to

Up Where It win Dry Out and
Keep Dry.-When the Last Ear
is laid in, one end Of the string
is slipped under the string in the
other hand, and fastened.
Tie and hang up the seed the same
day or evening that it is brought in.
This method of tying up allows a free
circulation Of air. It is circulation Of
air, not heat, that is needed to dry
out the seed. Corn commonly contains
at this time from 30 to As per cent of
water. 1t requires but a few minutes
to tie up 300 or 400 ears.
Fig. 4.-Experiments show that the
attic or some upstairs room where
the windows can be opened to give
circulation Of air during October and
November, is the best place to hang
seed corn. A space three by eight feet
will hold 200 strings of seed corn like

One Of the very best methods for
gathering the seed is to go into the
best and earliest planted fields with
bags and select well matured ears
from the most vigorous stalks. The
cut shows a convenient way to ar
range a sack so that you may have
both hands free for picking.
You must not fail to consider the
stalk in selecting your seed, for it
takes large, thrifty stalks to produce
good big ears. 1t is not a good plan
to take the ear from a stalk that
grew in a hill by Itself, or from one
in the hill with a barren or veal
stalk. Many of the kernels on such
an a r likely to be p~ollenized by
the barren or weak stalk.
Choose Ears of a Medium Height
If you select the highest ears your
orn will gradually become late, and
if you select the lowest ears you win
