In a normal season in our seed-’ corn-growing areas. the corn plants mature their seed sufficiently early for it to become well hardened while still on the stalk. This hard- ening process consists largely in loss of moisture and is necessary in order that corn may go into stor~ age dry enough to prevent mould- ing of the corn or frost injury to the germ. says G. P. McRostie, Dom- ininnAgrostplogist. _ -----. -â€"C-,â€" 0â€", Unfavorable weather conditions during the latter part of the past growing season resulted in large quantities of corn failing to dry out or mature sufficiently to pro- duce first-class seed. Unless such corn was artificially dried before heavy frosts set in. its vitality is sure, to be. impaired to a large ex- etnt. Such a condition calls for foresight and good judgment. on the. part. of the prospective buyer, fore- sight in the matter of early pur- chasing, as seed corn is likely to be scarce. and good judgment in test- ing the germination of all seed corn bought in order that sufficient may the planted to‘ensure a. full stand. The present seed corn situation should also cause us to give thought- ful et’msideration to the question of the variety of corn we intend to plant. ()n the whole. seed 0f the earlier-maturing varieties is likely to he in better condition than the later-maturing sorts. A variety of corn which reaches at least. the glazed stage in any district during an average year is therefore likely tn.he the safest to grow this com- ing: season from the standpMnt of tthn quality of seed that it will be possible to buy. Not. only will the chances be better for securing sat- iisfactory seed 0f such a variety, but the odds equally good that more actual feeding value per acre will be secured than would be the case lwith most later sorts.
