There are approximately 7,5OO.O 900

there are almost that many farmers.
In this year. when the most expen-

tables, poultry and eggs passing Its
gate every day. The war made the

Corn root, stalk, and ear rots are

Is estimated Mt 125,175.0O0 bushels, or
4 per cent Of the total crop. Preven-
tive measures are recommended in
recent bulletin Of the United States
Department Of Agriculture-Farmers
Bulletin 1178. These diseases are
caused by several organisms and prob
ably by some other contributing fac
tors.
Investigations now In progress clear
ly indicate that these corn rots can
be controlled. Farmers are advised
to select well.matured seed from
healthy plants. Avoid all leaning or
broken plants and all broken ear
shanks, even though the ears look
healthy. Select about five times as
many ears as are necessary to allow
for discarding later all those ears
found to be diseased. Cure and store
the ears in dry, well-ventilated place.
After the ears are thoroughly dry,
discard all that have too rough dent
Ing or that show discolored, pink,
cracked. or shredded shank attach
ments, or with moldy, disI olored, or
starchy kernels.
Make germinator tests of ten repre-
sentative kernels from each seed ear
selected. Keep for seed only those
ears represented in the germinator by
ten healthy seedlings, cutting open tho
ten kernels to make sure they are not
rotted. even If the sprout appears to
be healthy. Discard butt and tip ker.
nels. Then shell each ear separately

ears with kernels that are starcby,
