There have been few times in the history of Indiana when it was more
important for the farmer to thoroughly examine his seed corn than it is this year. Owing to the unfavorable climatic conditions which prevailed throughout the greater portion of the state last autumn the problem of securing good seed com for this
year's planting is going to be an unusually difficult one. Much of the corn which appeared to be in fair condition when stored is now unfit for planting. There was comnara-1
tively little really mature corn to begin with and very little of it was dry enough to escape injury when the first heavy frosts occurred. As a result, there is great danger of much worth
less seed corn finding its way into the corn planter. The writer has had
occasion during the past three months to examine many fine looking sam
ples of corn in various sections of the-
state and many of the ears were
found to be unfit for seed.
Not a single ear which was intend
ed for seed should be allowed to pass
without a perfect examination. To
make, a proper examination of your seed corn lay all the ears in rows where you can get at them comfort
ably. Take a few scattering kernels out of each ear and examine the
germs caretullv. JUanv ears which.
for the most part, are sound will be found to have little raised or swol-
en places where the germs are likely
to be injured, so be careful to look
out for these. Discard all doubtful
ears. .' men. take hve scattering ker
nels from, each of the ears which ap

have germinated. Forty-five to fortyeight kernels out of each fifty should have germinated. Where this is not the case, again examine the ten ears from which the kernels came and try to detect the faulty ears and discard

Buy your seed corn in the ear and make sure that it will germinate before you accept it or shell it. We also desire to call the attention of farmery to the importance of selecting their seed so as to have uni-, form sized kernels. Unless the ker

can not do good work in dropping
and the stand is sure to be uneven.
Discard the small and uneven kernels from the tips and butts and hand

test your planter to make sure that it
