The long growing season for corn
in 1920 caused the most of US to
believe that the corn, when har-
vested. was fully matured. well dried
out and in good condition for seed.
But recent tests show that the
corn did not dry thoroughly and it
Is likely that the vitality Of much
of the corn we have saved for seed
IS low.
For this reason II is very i'm
portant that every ear OF seed corn
should be tested before It is planted
next spring.
Poor seed is one Of the chief
causes of a poor stand and a poor
stand means a small yield.

There are several methods OF

ed. it should be placed in half

planting We should use seed from
these best 100 ears on one side
Of the field and pick our seed corn

Buy Good Seed Down.
If we have no good seed corn
we should buy from our neighbors
or some one in the community. We
should not import seed corn from
outside our immediate vicinity.
Thousands of individual ear tests
prove that home grown seed will
yield on an average from eight TO
20 bushels or corn more to the acre
than will imported seed. The best
plan is TO grow our own seed and
test every ear intended for plant
| ing.
Investigations conducted over a
period of several years by various
agricultural colleges and by the L.
S. department of agriculture have
/ proven beyond doubt that rot dis
eases OF the corn root, the stalk
and the ear have been one of the
chief causes of thin stands. Of large
numbers of weak and stunted
plants; of stalks that are down. or
/ leaning. or broken, or barrenneSS
and nubbins; of chaffy, immature
ears; Of reduced yields.
It IS possible that rot diseases
carry over from one year to an
other in the soil; il is certain they
carry over in the seed, and one OF
the best methods for the control
Of these rots Is the selection Of the
\ disease-free seed ears.
The termination test will help
US in picking out these diseased
ears Kernals that are disease
may show good termination but the
stem sprouts will be discolored-
pink or brown or some other shade
that will readily show the expert
enced corn grower that something
is the matter with them.
In some instances diseased
Seeding looks apparently healthy
except that 1t has a small number
\ of roots. Such kernals should be
picked open with a knife TO see il
they are rotted or moldy on the
inside.
The safest rule Is: Discard every
ear that looks suspicious.
