SELECTION OF Seed CORN.


The value of good seed corn can
hardly be overestimated. The man
w:.o takes the proper care of his seed
corn will get results that will pay
him many times over for his trouble.
The three things most important
about caring for seed are gathering
early, storing properly and testing
every ear before planting.
The Iowa farmer should gather his
seed corn by the tenth of October.
This is late enough for the corn to
have matured properly, and early
enough to miss any killing frosts.
Take sack and go through the field,
gathering the best ears. Always
select an ear that grows on healthy,
vigorous stalk, about a third of the
way up. The stalk should not be alone
in a hill, nor near one that is barren.
One should always pick out the early
maturing ears. This will tend to make
the corn an early maturing quality.
If the farmer leaves his corn stand
ing in the field, and selects seed while
husking, he cannot tell the early ma
turing ears. Besides, the seed will
have to withstand the fall freeze,
which comes when there is still
large percentage of moisture in the
corn. The expansion of this mois-
ture, when freezing. bursts the little
cells in the germ and Injuries, or may
entirely destroy it.
1t is because freezing is so injur-
ious to seed corn not we'll dried that
proper storage is so important. The
corn should be placed in a dry, we'll
ventilated room, and hung up so that
no two ears touch. This allows a
good circulation of air all around the
ear. Corn piled up is very apt to
mould. A loft built over the drive
way of a double corn crib, or we'll
ventilated attic or spare room, are
all good places for seed corn. After
the corn is thoroughly dry it will
stand lot of freezing without in
jury.
In the spring very careful selec-
tion should be made and each ear
tested for termination before plant
ing.
