RECOMMEND SEPT. 1920
AS SEED CORN I M

September 10 to 20 is again
recommended by experiment sta
ton and agricultural extension
men of the university for Seed
Corn Time in Minnesota.
The best time TO select seed
corn is when the leaves of the
plants are still green. the husks
beginning to turn yellow and the
ears well dented, according to
A. c. Army of University Farm.
When the seed ears are selected
from the plants as they are ma
turing" says Mr.. Army. the
choice can be made on a sound
basis to maintain or increase the
yielding power of the variety.
while at the same time disease
can be recognized and avoided"
The university men believe
that Seed Corn Time is none too
early to plan for the harvest Of
1924. Some of the cardinal prin-
ciples to be observed are. they
say: Selection from fields adapt
ed to the locality; selection be-
fore severe frosts of about twice
as many ears needed for plant
ing; storing the corn at once in a
dry, well ventilated place where
it will cure quickly and remain
dry.
