Among the best methods for the con-
troll of several important corn diaeas-
es, including the ear and the stalk
rot, is the selection of seed corn from
disease-free stalks. The selection of
diseasefree cced corn is discussed in
Farmers Bulletin No. 1176, entitled
"Thc Control Of Corn Root, Stalk,
and Ear Rot Diseases
HUSK EARS FROM STALKS
As soon as the corn natures, the
farmer Should go through his field
with a seed picking bag and husk the
ears from the stalks that have pro-
duced the most corn without having
any special advantages, such as
space, moisture, or fertility Avoid
the large ears on stalks standing
singly with an unusual amount Of
space around them. Preference
should be given the plants that have
produced most heavily in competi-
ton with a full stand of less pro-
ductive plants. In all localities the
inherent tendency of the plant to
produce heavily of sound, dry, she'll
ed corn is of most Importance.
Late maturing plants with ears
that are heavy because of the excess
sive amount of sap should be ig-
nored. Sappiness greatly increases
the harvest size and weight, and is
apt to destroy the quality. In central
being equal, short, thick stalks are
preferable. Short stalks are not so
easily blown down and permit thick
er nlanting. Thick stalks are not so
easily broken down, and in general
are more productive than slender
ones.
The same day seed corn is gathered
the husked ears should be put in a
dry place where there is free circula-
ton of air, and placed in such a
manner that the ears do not touch
each other This is the onlv safe pro-
cedure. If left in the husk long af-
ter ripening, it may sprout or mildew
during warm, dry weather, or be-
come infested with weevils or grain
moths, or their eggs.
There are various WAYS in which
seed corn can be prepared for drying.
The ears may be hung on strings or
binder Irvine 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 it will not
be exposed to dar'~ atmosphere or
rats or other destructive pests.
Detailed information as to selecting
the seed corn and storing it are CON
tanned in Farmers Bulletin 1175.
which may be had upon request of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, d. C.
