NOW IS time TO
SAVE SEED CORN

Every farmer in the Corn Belt who
has not already gathered his seed corn,
should not put it off another day. Ev-
cry days delay now adds to the dan
ger of the seed corn,t being frozen.
It does not cost any more or take
any more time to harvest seed corn
right now than it will to do it later.
Everything is to be gained and moth
ing is to be lost by harvesting it now.
Corn is in fine shape. Since the first
Of August it has gained rapidly. Gov
eminent reports give it's condition on
September l as 81 per cent, as COM
pared with sc per cent on August l.
It is in still better shape now.
August and most of September fur
nished ideal weather for corn. Cold
weather has held off; it was abnor-
mally hot during many days even
after the middle Of September.
Because of unfavorable weather ear
" in the growing season, there is still
considerable moisture in most of the
corn, and if there should come sud-
den freeze, much seed corn will be
ruined.
In the Corn Belt seed corn should be
harvested not later than October g..
In the more northern states it should
be gathered earlier than that. It is
getting late and we cannot afford to
longer put off gathering our seed
corn. We cannot afford to take any
chances.
It will be wise to save enough seed
to last two years. Next years crop
may fail to mature and we viii be
hard pressed for seed the following
4, year, unless we have some good corn
left over from this year.
AS soon as the seed corn is harvest
ed, it should be husked and hung up
| in an attic or some upstairs room
where the windows can be opened and
the air. can freely circulate around the
corn.
One Of the best methods is to tie
the corn up with binding Irvine and
suspend the strings from horizontal
wires or. from nails driven into the
rafters. No two ears of corn should
touch, and the strings should be hung
in rows at least four inches apart each
way.
