A SERIOUS CONDITION.
Fifty Per Cent of the Seed Corn Re-
ported to be Unfit for Planting.

ported to be UnHt TOT ldh'hS'
Blacksburg, Va, March 2.-Caretul
tests show that at least fifty per cent
of the corn that has been saved for
planting by farmers in the valley
Piedmont and Southwest sections OF
the State is unfit for seed. Tests
show that this is also true as far
east and south as Brunswick County.
Because of an adverse season, fol-
lowed by early frosts and hard
freeze early in the fall, much OF the
corn failed to mature sufficiently to
make good seed, and the planting OF
corn that has not been tested for
termination could easily mean actual
money loss to Virginia farmers OF
twenty million dollars.
The director Of the extension d.
vision. Virginia Polytechnic Institute,
has had the county farm demon
stration agents make careful tests
of the corn that some Of their farmers
ere saving to plant and tests have
also been made by individual far
mers, pupils in the school and others.
Rcports received at the central Of
flee of the extension division on
these tests show that the situation
as to seed corn is extremely alarm
ing and warrants putting on an I'M
mediate campaign for testing seer
corn. The seed corn situation has not
been as serious in twenty years, ana
VIRGINIA can less afford to risk the
planting Of poor seed corn this year
than ever before. Raising poor crop
will involve not only a money loss,
tut will complicate the food and Ia
Dor shortage.
Good seed corn can be assur
anv farmer if he will make the prop
er effort. Simple directions for test
ing seed corn to determine its ger
mination qualities can be had by adj
dressing the director of the eXten'
sion division, Blacksburg, and the
various counties will lend every as
sistance possible. The materials re-
ouired for the tests are easily avail
able to any one without cost NJ
farmer should buy, sell or plant, un
tested seed.
