How 10 Cure and Store Seed Corn

How to Cure and Store Seed Corn
On account of the very wet season
this year corn as it comes from the
field has more than the ordinary
amount of moisture. IL allowed to re-
main until freezing weather and the
corn freezes in this condition, the
germ in each kernel will have its life
or growing power injured, and the
value of the corn for seed for next
year will be greatly reduced.
For that reason it is necessary TO
dry seed corn as quickly as possible
after selection in the field by hanging
in the kitchen or furnace room where
heat can be applied and the ventila-
ton is good.
Requirements of seed curing room
are:
/. Ventilation.
2. Heat.
3. Dryness.
Hanging the seed corn by criss-
cross double cord, placing the ears be-
tween them so that they can be held
securely but apart from each other, is
often done and is to be recommended
A device sometimes used for curing
small quantities of seed corn is The
Corn Tree" Finishing nails are driv-
en- into an ordinary cedar post about
three inches apart and the corn placed
on the nails. This post can be placed
on standard and set in doorway OF
window where there is current of air
to help carry off the moisture.

Some time ago Pennsylvania rail-
road conductor accepted under protest
a ticket whose time limit had expired.
The roads legal department, after
studying the case several weeks found
that the rebate value of the ticket was
"a cents less than the fare between
the points named on the ticket and in
order to escape liability for $1,000 fine
under the federal statute forbidding
favoritism to passengers the Pennsyl-
