T0 SAVE SEED CORN Straw May be Used Much More Freely for Idle Horses, Vegetable and Root Crops Grown This Summer Must Be Carefully Stored to Prevent Loss -- Proper Temperature Checks Decay--Sand Will Ensure Firm Vegetables. (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) HE year 1917 provided, both in the United Ststes and in | Ontario, conditions very un- favorable for the production | of good seed .corn. Excess of mois- | freezing and these conditions result- | ed 1n one of worst seed vorn years in a generation. As a result of this, much of the seed corn sown in Ontario in 1918 was, to say the least, of varieties that were late in matur- ing. A very high percentage of this corn which will be used for seed next year, now contains a large amount of moisture. To make this corn of the greatest value for seed purposes, it should be harvested, if possible, be- fore heavy frostand thoroughly dried. Maturity is one of the essentials in producing good seed corn, but no less important is the thorough drying of the seed. It is not cven necessary for corn to be frozen to lose some of its vital- ity, it will deteriorate at ordinary temperatures if not well dried. When freezing occurs, greater loss in vital- ity is experienced. Corn which is har- vested with an excess of moisture should be dried as rapidly as pos- sible as this removes the danger of injury from mouldin fermenting and freezing. In the process of dry- ing, a free circulation .of air should be provided and, if necessary, arti- ficial heat used. Seed corn can be most readily dried when stored in the ear. Where the corn is well matured and is grown in 1argé quantities. the corn-crib provides one of the most satisfactory drying mediums, as it supplies. the best of air circulation along with protection against storms and vermin, A post in which a number of nails are driven at an angle of forty-five degrees, and the ears stuck on the protruding ends, provides a good me- dium for drying seed corn ears. These posts with a platform at the base may be readily removed to places where artificial heat can be used if neces- the ry. Where relatively small amounts of seed corn are used, selected ears may be hung up to dry in the attic, kitch- en or furnace room. Corn which has been thoroughly matured and thoroughly dried gives the highest percentage and most vig- orous germination, but seed corn which has reached the dough or firm dough stage of maturity, when har- vested, 'if well dried, usually makes good seed. -When thoroughly dried and surrounded by a dry atmosphere, even zero weather will not injure the gerntination of seed corn.,--.

Straw is a feed very high in fibre and thé horse's digestive system is not suited to the liberal use of this roughage. - It is pot a suitable feed for horses at hard 'work, but during the winter months may be used to pdvantage where hay is scarce, and partigularly if a little grain is fed along with it. Tt is just a question whether it is more economical to feed good hay and no grain than it is to feed a percentage of bright straw and a ration of crushed oats." Only clean, bright straw should be used for horses and one or two feeds per day, replacing hay should Bde found advantageous under . certain circumstances. We have seen horses wintered In good condition on oat straw and a light grain ration. If hay were available for a light fead once a day the offer two feeds could be composed of straw, and less grain would be required than where the entire roughage was Biraw. Oat straw makes the best feed, bar- loy straw coming second and wheat and rye straw last.
