GRADE THE SEED CORN 80 AS TO INSURE A UNIFORM STAND AND A BETTER YIELD The practice of grading seed corn before time for planting is very im­ portant and means a loss of several bushels per acre if it is not done. Seed corn that is not graded causes an un­ even stand and consequently a loss in yield, ckte either to too many stalks in a hill or not enough. Many farmers remove the butt and tip kernels so as to insure a more uni­ form size of kernels, but it is much safer to run it all over the grader and be certain that the kernels are all of a uniform size, then a size of planter plate may be selected for each size of kernel and an even stand obtained thruout the field. Shelling off the butt and tip kernels does not insure a uniform size, as the kernels in the middle of the ear are often of different size and will be plant­ ed unevenly unless graded to a uniform size. Very little time is required to grade the corn, as several different, styles of graders are offered for sale by the local implement and hardware dealers. The different sized kernels vary but little in germination and ability to produce strong healthy stalks, but very unsatisfactory yields are obtained when these kernels are mixed in and planted with the medium sized kernels. After grading the corn it should be carefully looked over and all cracked or dark colored kernels removed. Plan to grade all your seed before planting, as it will pay you well to do so. DELOS L.
