Curing Seed Corn, Once It's Select
ed-Seed corn should be thoroughly
air dried before it is placed in winter
storage. Ordinary winter tempera-
lures do not injure seed that has been
properly cured. In curing, the ears
should either be laid on suitable racks
or so suspended that there is free
circulation of air. The curing place
should be kept open in drying
weather and closed when the tempera-
ture falls to the freezing point. Or
dinarily, artificial heat is not neces-
sary to cure properly. If used at all
| it should be moderate in amount,
| particularly ait first when the corn
has high moisture content.
| "a bushel of good seed is suffi-
cient for seven acres of corn plant
ed for grain" says A. C.. Army of
the Minnesota Experiment Station.
"Of the larger varieties suitable to
southern Minnesota, 100 ito 125 ears
should provide bushel to shelled
f., seed corn. From $50 to 200 ears of
the smaller varieties grown in north
ern Minnesota is about the right
amount to select to provide a bushel
of well graded seed corn"
