SEED CORN TREATMENT
PROVES SUCCESSFUL
Continued from Page II

showed that the treated corn pro-
duced on the average 54.2 bushels
per acre, scompared to 46 bushels
from the untreated areas, or an in
crease of 6.2 bushels per acre.
In order that additional data
might be obtained concerning the
Importance of this seed treatment
practice, arrangements were made
to conduct similar demonstrations
on eight farms in Kent county again
this year, and those farmers who
co-operated with the county agent in
this work during the past year in
cluded Harvey McGinnis, near Pet
ersburg; J. w. Webb, ST., ]. w.
Webb, Jr., and NJ. T. Webb, west of
Willow Grove; A. C. Darrah and J.
A. Sylvester, near Clayton; Denny
Pleasanton and John G. Tarburton
in the Dover area. With the excep-
ton of the M. T. Webb farm, this
work was conducted in 1928 on each
of the other seven farms herein
mentioned
The dust materials used in these
demonstrations this past year con-
sisted of Semesan Jr. and Merko,
and on four of the farms the Seme-
san Jr. was used alone, while on the
other four farms both of these dusts
were used to compare their relative
value in producing more and better
corn.
The average yield of corn from
the plots that were planted with
the Semesan Jr. treated seed was
45.3 bushels per acre. as compared
to a yield of 42.2 bushels from the
seed that was treated with MerkO,
and Alt bushels from the untreated
seed. Taking into consideration all
of the treated plots, the average pro-
duction of which was 43.7 bushels
per acre, the difference in yield in
favor of the treated seed amounted
to 2 bushels to the. acre. This in
crease in yield in 1928 was 2.7
bushels, and in 1927 it was 6.2

bushels, resulting in an average in
crease of 3.6 bushels per acre over
a period of three years. The average
termination test of the seed corn
that was planted on these eight
farms this year was 9S.2 per cent,
according to the tests as made by
R. L. Hammond, Seed Analyst for
the State Board of Agriculture.
In addition to this increase in
production it was also observed
again this season that the ears from
the treated areas were more solid,
and there was. less soft and imma-
ture corn than in the remainder of
each Of these fields that had been
planted with the untreated seed. AL
though the increase in yield is of
Importance to the carrying out of
the program of economic produc-
ton, the greatest argument in favor
of seed treatment is the elimina-
ton of a large percentage of soft
and Gull corn at harvest.
Another phase of this project each
year consists of survey of the to-
tai amount of dust materials used
in the entire county in order that an
estimate may be made of the acre
age of treated corn planted. This in
formation is secured from the var
ious dealers and agents who handle
these dusts, and the survey this fall
indicated that 157 pounds were dis
tributed to the corn growers in this
county last spring. This amount was
sufficient to treat 1885 bushels of
shelled corn, which is enough seed
to plant about 1886 acres. In 1928
there were 10,36S acres Of treated
corn planted in this county.
Considering the fact that this
practice was not being followed at
all four years ago in this county,
much progress has been made dur
ing this brief period, and no doubt
the time will come when practically
every corn grower will be treating
his seed corn just as the majority
Of the wheat growers today are
their seed wheat for the
control of the smut.
