Late maturing plants with ears
that are heavy because Of the excess
i've amount of sap should be ignored.
Sappiness greatly increases the har-
vest size and weight, and is apt to
destroy the quality. In central and
southern states. all other things being
equal, short, thick stalks are prefer
able. Short stalks are not so easily
blown down, and in general are more
productive than slender ones.
The day the seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in a
dry place whore there Is free circula-
ton of air, and placed in such man
ner that the ears do not touch each
other. This is the only safe proceed

ripening, it may sprOut or mildew

There are various ways in which
seed corn can be prepared for drying.
The ears may be hung on strings Of
binder twine or cord. Wire racks
may also be used. The farmer, how
ever. may exercise his own ingenuity
as to what method he will use, but
should be certain that the corn is
stored in a place where 1t will not be
exposed to damp atmosphere or rats
or other destructive pests.

Stalks that are free from disease.
Among the best methods for the con-

disease-free stalks. The selection of
disease-free seed corn is discussed in
