PURDUE UNIVERSITY BULLETIN The Selection and Care of Seed Com is Important. The importance of properly selecting and caring for seed corn has been so thoroughly discussed and brought to the attention of farmers in every conceivable way during the last fewyears that there can be no adequate excuse for any corn grower neglecting to save a good supply of seed corn and put it up in a safe, dry place before killing frosts occur. It is not so much a question of what to do. or how to do it, but rather of getting started to do it. Ail observing and up-to-date farmers know well enough what should be done, but the habit of letting such things go until some, other time causes many to allow themselves to neglect this important | matter until it is too late to get the best results. There is plenty of evidence to convince even the most unreasonable man that the time to get the best seed com is early in the fall, when it can be selected from the standing stalks and put away in a dry. well ventilated place before damaging frosts occur. The great majority of farmers in the state do not get more than threequarters of a full stand of corn in their fields and the result is 20 per cent less corn at harvest time than should be secured, without any more expense in producing the crop. The cause of the imperfect stand nearly always lies in the use of poor seed for planting. If every farmer in the state would get his seed corn properly stored by the middle of October, several million of dollars would be added to the value of the corn crop next year. All seed corn should be gathered I before the first severe frost and it may be safely done as soon as the corn is well dented. • This year much of the com is very late and manyfields are liable to be damaged by the first severe frost and this makes it all the more important to act promptly. A good way to do is to take a handy basket on the arm or sling a grain bag over the shoulder by means of a stout cord and go into the best and ripest com field and go up and down the rows and select the best ears from the best hills, taking care to select only from stalks of stout development under normal conditions and which bear the ear in a good position. The selected ears should be at once put up in a dry, airy place, where they can dry out naturally. Artificial drying should not be resorted to unless in cases where there is not time for natural drying before severe frosts are liable to occur. When the ears are still sappy the application of artificial heat may easily do harm by inducing fermentation, a very little of which will injure the germs and cause weakness. There are many ways in which com may be safely put up for drying. A good rack may be made of pieces of five or six inch fence lumber set on end and common plastering laths nailed across the edges on either side opposite each other, spaced six inches apart to a convenient height. A single row- of ears should be placed in each space at first, to permit of more rapid drying. Tying two ears together by the husks and hanging them over wires stretched a foot or more apart across a dry room is an excellent system for drying. Whatever the scheme used for drying, the important thing to keep in mind is that each ear must have a free circulation of air all around it. Putting the ears in bags or piling together in any way must be avoided. If the com can be made dry before freezing weather and then dept in a dry place throughout the winter, it will be in perfect condition in the spring. Seed com should never be put into a building containing live stock of any kind because of the moisture given off by the animals. A. T. Wiancko. Agriculturist. n - Millinery opening at M’s.
