Corn contains a high per cent of moisture in the fall, and, according to Professor E. G. Schafer of the ex- periment station at Pullman, Wash., unless it is cared for properly, the vitality may be greatly reduced, or even destroyed. The injury results from moulding before the ears are dry. This injury may be largely averted by proper storing. The ears selected for seed should be put in a dry place, where there is free circulation of air. A good method is to tie the ears to binder twine and snspend them from the ceiling of the seed room or attic. The ears should be arranged so as not to touch each other. After the ears are thoroughly dry there will be little dan- ger of moulding. More than enough ears should be saved for planting the next year's crop. The final selection and preparation of seed corn may take place in the early spring. Ears which are not in good condition at this time should be dis- carded. Home-grown seed is superior to other seed because of its becoming ac- climated. It requires from seven to ten pounds of shelled corn to plant one acre.
