NO SEED CORN DEARTH IN WAYNE SAYS U. S. PAPER

While There Is No Shortage, There Is No Surplus, 'Tis Said. Iteprinte'l from the "Seed Reporter" official Rovernment journal: A seed, stocks and labor survey of Indiana begun February i, and now practically completed, reveals some interesting facts pertaining to the quantity and quality of seed com available for planting the 1913 acreage. The seed corn shortage In a broad belt 70 to 100 miles wide, from Shelby and Johnson counties on the south and running northwest to Lake and La Porte counties on the north, comprising 23 counties, amounts. to approximately 80,000 bushels. The shortage in eastern and northeastern Irdlana, excepting a small area compr'sing Adams, Jay, and Randolph, counties, Is not so serious as in the foregoing belt. There is no shortage, and at the name time, no surplus, in a belt extending from Vigo, Sullivan, and Knox counties on the west, to Wayne, Union and Franklin counties on the east. The norther part seems to be the only portion of the state that has a mrnlim It. Is thoueht that the 1918

acreage will be 80 per cent that of 1917, because of (1) the increased acreage of winter wheat. (2) the failure of the 1917 corn crop to mature, (3) the labor shortage, and (4) th seed corn scarcity. Result f Tests. None of the 1917 corn crop, excepting the very early varities ajid that which was selected before hard freezing weather and was artificially dried, is fit for seed. Most o that which was stored in barns and outside cribs froze la December and the germination was reduced thereby to such an extent that it will be unfit for sed. The following results were obtained in the seed laboratory at Lafayette: 102 sampifa tested below 50 per cent; 45 tested 50 to 69 per cent; and 126 tested 70 per cent or more. Practically all of the old corn tests well, but the high price paid last summer and fall amounting to $2.00 to $2.40 per bushel reduced the supply so appreciably that only 25 to 50 per cent of the 1918 acreage can be planted with old seed.

It is estimated that about o& per cent of the seed corn necessary to plant the 1918 acreage will have to bo obtained by sorting over carefully lots of low testing 1917 corn and eartesting some of it individually. That farmers who are receiving $16.00 per hundred pounds for hogs and $1.50 per bushel for soft corn can well afford to pay $7.50 per bushel or more for suitable seed corn is the opinion expressed by one of the correspondents.
