Get II Right From the Field, Before
Freezing, and Plenty Of 1t.
Now is the time to plan for the an.
nual drive against q possible seed corn
shortage by preparing to select from
the field before freezing, three or four
times as much seed as will be needed
Iowa State College.
There are many advantages In Sc
lecting early three or four times as
much seed corn as will be needed
from the standing stalks, some OF
which are as follows:
/. Early maturing seed can be Sc
lected.
9. Seed corn may be injured by
freezing if 1t is left in the field until
husking time.
B. Ears may be selected from strong,
disease free stalks which bear no suck
ers.
4. Ears may be selected from stalks
where there are three stalks in hill.
An ear of corn borne in a three-stalk
hill will yield more than the same sized
ear borne on a stalk growing out by
itself.
.. Better ears can be selected for
planting If one has three or four times
as much as needed from which to Sc
lect
s. Extra seed may be needed for re-
planting next spring.
Z. The surplus will guard against a
possible shortage year from now.
s. There is always n market for sur
plus seed.

into the rafters or two-by-fous with
the greatest economy of space.
These hangers may also be carried
from place to place, after the corn, IS
strung up. and conveniently laid on
tables for the termination test without
having the corn fall off. When thru
