Department Of Agriculture Urges That

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
The termination test of seed corn Is
more important this year than ever be-
fore because good seed corn is scarce,
and because the best seed is needed in
order to produce the large crop which
this nation will need. Even where
seed corn has been carefully gathered
and stored it should be thoroughly
tested in the spring before planting.
The best way to do this is to make
a seed corn testing box and test one
hundred ears separately.
Each kernel that is tested must be
perfect, and not injured at the tip
when it was removed from the ear.

II three or more kernels out Of ten

It must not be thought that good re-
suits from the termination tests are
sure index of high productivity. Ears

as in damp storage places, may germi-
nate we'll, but will produce less than
if they had got better care. Proven
ton is better than cure; and in the
case of poor storage, according to seed
corn specialists, a cure is impossible.
Corn that was selected wisely in the
field where it grew, that matured nor
mally and has been preserved properly
in mouse and insect proof stOrages
will grow and produce satisfactorily.
Because there is such scarcity Of
seed corn in some sections of the corn
belt, the United States department of
agriculture urges that farmers in this
and other sections be careful not to
feed corn that would be more valu-
able if used for seed. To the detrl-
ment of the 1918 crop some corn suit
able for seed is being used to some ex-
tent by farmers who have enough seed
for themselves. This is especially re-
grettable because the corn is frequent
ly adapted to conditions and is not a
great distance from where it will be
sadly needed for spring planting.
Get Seed Best Adapted.
Ordinarily seed corn should not be
obtained from a distance. The incest
looking seed may be entirely unadapt-
ed and cause the loss Of crop. AS
there is but little "hold over the
frost-stricken and drought-stricken
areas must get their seed from other
points. 1t should be obtained from q
locality having similar climate, and
obtained now.
If you have large amount, or but a
few bushels Of 90-day corn which
terminates well, let your county agent,
your state experiment station and the
United States department of agricul-
ture know about it. Prompt co-opera-
ton should prove profitable to all and
prevent many failures next year.
