. The North Carolina Presbyterian. ^â t â¦Â»Â«Â» Fsozrar Sxkd Go&h.âDaniel Steck, Lv-eoming Ggunty, Pa., writes that the earlyselection of seed corn is important to pre-vent damage from frost before the kernelsare dry. After the grain is siatured, itstill contains a considerable amount of moia-ture. If it be frozen before this moisture isevaporated, the germinating powe^ will beinjured or destroyed, although in other re-spects the com may be sound. This fact, heioinks, accounts for many failures of seedsupposed to be good ; the difSeulty couldnot be discoverd by any appearance ofthe com. Mr. S. thinks that where comremained in t)ie field, exposed to the severefreezing wheather of last November 24thand 25th, it is in most cases rendered unfitlor seed. Those who failed to select anddry their corn,before that time would dowell to make provision for next Springs plant-ing, either by saving enough of the oldstock wiuch is known to be good, or procur-ing a supply from reliable sources. A ia time saves nine. \ ^ â â
