Board is watching the situation
closely and will allow the re-

favorable, the epidemic is raging
around us on all sides. No
doubt the favora bic situation
here is due TO the wisdom and
care of the Health Board, and
the Board does not seem TO be
inclined to lose this advantage
by ill-advised haste in raising
the emergency restriction laid
down for the safety Of the com.
muhity.
Parents are urged, during

Seed Corn For
1910

Blacksburgs, Va, Oct. 2G.-
All farmers interested in plant
ing good seed corn next year
will remember the critical situ
alton as to good seed corn last
spring.
Owing to the large acreage of
corn that has been frost bitten
this fall, there will undoubted-
y be IL large amount OF soft and
immature corn cribbed with the
sound grain this winter. This
makes it absolutely necessary
that farmers should save out
their best seed corn when shuck
ing and store it where it will
dry out well before freezing
weather.
If corn that is not well dried
out is exposed to freezing tenn
peratures, the germ is damaged
very greatly and if planted Will
result i'll poor stand.
There are several good meth.
DDS of storing seed corn, such
as the seed corn racks, the wire
and the twisted string methods
ANY or all of these methods
will be explained in detail on
Application TO the Agronomist OF
the Extension Division).
The main point in curing seed
corn is to arrange the individ
ual ears il such a way that the
air will have free circulation
about them.
The best place to select seed
corn is from the standing stalk
but that chance has gone for
this year, so the next best op-
portunity is at shocking time.
Don't fail to do thiS-it will
save you time and labor next
spring.
