^ HERE will be a short corn
^ crop this year and mil
lions of dollars will be lost
to the farmers if great care
t ^ is not taken in selecting
4 and testing the best ma
tured com for this season's
A planting.
V ^ We may well take the
warning to heart, for this
section of the country lives and pros
pers largely on the production of its
land, and follow the advice of agricul
tural scientists who can tell our peo
ple how to escape heavy loss. This
advice will work no hardship and no
expense if followed. It will require
a little careful work and sharp watch
ing at a season of the year when the
farmer is not overburdened with labor.
Nineteen fifteen was a bad year for
corn. A cold, wet season retarded
the growth of the grain. The crop
in many parts of the corn belt was
immature; it contains an excessive
amount of water and is unfit lor seed.
The scarcity of seed corn is really
the most serious in many years.
You farmers may say you are going
to use seed from your 1914 crop. Don't
trust it. The grain may have been
damaged by the frost during the hard
freezes of last year. Don't trust
it—test it. The high price of corn,
too, on account of the war has near
ly exhausted the 1914 crop and this
source of supply then is not reliable.
Missing Hills, Weak Stalks.
There are about 800 kernels on the
average ear of corn. One poor seed
means 800 weak, moldy or dead ker
nels. If these are planted it means
missing hills and weak stalks produc
ing little or nothing. According to
reports just received, every indication
points to very serious trouble with
seed corn, especially in sections lying
north of central Illinois'and in North
Dakota. Wisconsin, Minnesota, Michi
gan and Iowa.
This community ought to get busy
right now, for the prosperity of our
community—our merchants, our bank
ers, our builders, our workers—de
pends on the prosperity of the farmers
hereabouts. We ought to start a seed
corn campaign. The county superin
tendent of schools can reach the farm
ers through the rural schoolteachers,
who in turn will see that the children
carry the message home. You bank
ers, merchants and implement dealers
who trade directly with the farmers
ought to write personal letters urging
them to go into this matter scientific
ally. In short, all of us ought to mo
bilize our forces, just as our nation
would have to mobilize all its re
sources in case of war.
You farmers must not use poor seed
this spring. It means too much to all
of us. Poor seed means not only
a poor stand and a portion of the
field idle, but that you must cultivate
missing hills, one-stalk hills, and poor,
worthless stalks, and receive nothing
in return.
Don’t Work for Nothing.
Thousands of people every year
work more than a third of every day
on ground that produces nothing. Do
not depend for seed on the occasional
good ears selected during the husk
ing period. The corn will be injured
by freezing before it is husked or be
fore it has had time to become dry
after husking.
Select the best ears, if you have
not already done so, and string them
on binder twine and hang up.
Do not store seed corn in barrels or
boxes. It will “gather moisture” and
mold or freeze. Do not store over the
stable. Do not put immature or fresh
ly gathered seed corn in a warm room,
on the floor, or in piles. It will either
sprout, or mold, or both. It should be
hung up at once, and the windows
opened to allow the freest circulation
of air. Do not depend on the crib
for seed corn.
One day devoted to the seed corn,
at the proper time, may be worth
more than an entire month of hard
work next summer put on a poor stand
of corn.
The attic is a good place to hang up
the seed corn. There should be a cir
culation of air through the room A
space three by eight feet will hold 200
strings of corn, twelve to fifteen ears
to each string, or about enough to
plant 200 acres. Three-fourths of this
«3££2> Arrjrx <&x&zMi27a?r^
corn may be discarded after testing,
but there will be enough seed to plant
fifty acres, more than the average
acreage on each farm. There are sev
eral objections to the average cellar.
It is apt to be too damp, and the corn
must be well dried before putting in
the cellar, and it must not be corded
up or put in piles, but hung up.
Will Your Seed Corn Grow?
It is only good business to know j
that the seed that you put into the
ground will grow; and the only way
you can tell good seed is by testing it.
You can’t tell by merely looking at it.
If you want profitable yields, you must
plant good seed.
The ten million acres of corn plant
ed in Iowa every year are grown in
217,000 farms, an average of about
forty-six acres to each farm. It will
take about 600 ears to plant forty
acres. Twenty-four hours’ time of
one man. two days' work, will test
six kernels from each ear to plant
forty acres. Yet, because it is "too
much bother," most of us pick out
600 ears, look at them, guess that
they will grow, and plant them. As a
consequence, more than twelve acres
out of each forty acres of corn plant
ed produce nothing. This is worse
than useless, because one must plow,
plant and cultivate these twelve acres
and get nothing in return.
By testing you get rid of the bad,
weak, and moldy ears. Testing does
not hurt the com. It costs but about
ten cents an acre, and can be done at
a time of the year when other farm
work is not pressing. By testing you
have everything to gain and nothing
to lose.
Discard Poor Ears.
in ttie winter, during a slack season
or in the early spring, from February
20 to March 20, select the best ears
from the corn you have stored in the
fall and get ready to put them through
the test.
The sawdust germination box is no
doubt the best method for testing
seed corn. It costs nothing but a lit
tle time and labor. It furnishes near
ly natural conditions. It is not es
sential that the box be of any particu
lar size, although about thirty inches
square and four or five inches deep
will be found convenient. This size
will test 100 ears at a time.
The sawdust is light, clean, and
easy to get and handle in February
and the first of March, when the test
ing should be done; is a good noncon
ductor of heat and cold, so that the
temperature is kept even during ger
mination, and holds the moisture so
perfectly that there is no danger of
drying out.
The number of boxes required will
depend upon the amount of seed to be
tested and the time limit. After the
germination boxes are made, inspect
carefully the ears you are to test from
the standpoint of the kernel.
Take two or three kernels from
each ear, about a third of the length
of the car from the butt. Lay them
germ-side up at the tip of the ear
from which they were taken. If the
kernels are small, wedge-shaped, nar
row, shallow, too deep, or if they
show immaturity, starchiness, a ten
dency to mold, or if the germs are
small, or shriveled, discard the ear.
Remove six kernels from six differ
ent places on each ear you have se
lected to test, taking two from near
the butt on the opposite sides of the
ear, two from near the tip, turning
the ear enough so as not to take two
kernels out of the same row.
How to Test Seed Corn.
Fill the box about half full of moist
sawdust, well pressed down, so as to

leave a smooth, even surface. The
sawdust should be put in a gunnysack
and set in a tub of warm water for
at least an hour (or still better, over
night) so that it will be thoroughly
moistened before using. Rule off a
piece of good quality white cloth
(sheeting), about the size of the box,
into squares, two and one-half inches
each way. Number the squares, 1, 2,
3, etc. Place the cloth on the saw
dust and tack it to the box at the
corners and edges.
Use care that the kernels do not get
mixed with those from the ear next to
it. After the kernels are removed,
boards may be laid over the rows of
ears to keep them in place until the
result of the germination test is
known. Place the six kernels from
ear No. 1 in square No. 1 of the
germination box; from ear No. 2 in
square No. 2, and so on with all tho
ears. Lay a piece of good cloth (a
good quality of sheeting) on top of
the kernels and dampen it. Press the
cloth down gently with the palm of
hand, being careful not to misplace
the kernels in the squares.
Now place over this cloth another
cloth of the same material, consider
ably larger than the first one (about
six feet square), and fill in on top
with two or three inches of moist,
warm sawdust. Pack it down firmly
with a brick or with the feet. The
edges of the cover should then be
folded over the sawdust in the box
to prevent drying cut. Now set the
box away until the kernels sprout
Keep in an ordinary warm place, like
the living room, where it will not
freeze. The kernels will germinate
in about eight days.
Remove the cover carefully to avoid
misplacing the kernels in the squares.
Examine the kernels in each square
in the germination box, and discard
all ears whose kernels in the box are
dead, moldy, or show weak germina
tion.
Caring for Seed Corn.
If the kernels show weak, spindling
sprouts, or a part of them are very
weak and uneven, the ear should be
thrown out to make place for an ear
whose kernels give strong, vigorous
sprouts. Remember that the kernels
which are slow to sprout, and are
weak, will he behind the strong ones
in the field.
After the seed has been sorted, test
ed, shelled, and graded for the planter,
and the bad kernels removed, it should
be placed in half-bushel sacks and
hung up in a dry place. Put in sacks,
separate from the rest, the seed from
the best 100 ears. When planting,
use the seed from “the best 100 ears”
on one side of the field from which
to pick your seed corn for the next
year's planting.
We cannot afford to neglect this im
portant work. If every farmer would
test every ear of his seed corn in the
winter in the way described above,
the yield would be wonderfully in
creased. No other time will he so
profitable to the farmer as that spent
in testing the vitality of his seed and
in grading to insure the planter drop
ping the proper number of kernels
in each hill. It is possible for every
one to do this work. It will cost noth
ing but the time, of which there is
plenty at the season when the work
should be done.

Washington, D. C.—Secretary of
the Interior Lane announces that ap
proximately 14,000 additional acres in
the North Platte irrigation project
are ready for entry and that home
steaders may make application at the
Alliance land office where a drawing
will be held.
The farms contain from forty to
eighty acres each, are fairly smooth,
easily prepared for crops and are in
the midst of an agricultural commun
ity already developed and prosper
ous.
Entries will be received March 24
and the drawing will be held later.
In making the announcement the
department of the interior said:
"Homesteaders will find here near
ly 60.000 acres in tillage, with hun
dreds of comfortable farm buildings.
Cities and towns are flourishing,
schools have been established and
excellent transportation facilities are
provided.
"The annual harvests now total
millions of dollars and the pioneer
ing stage of development has long
since pasxed. Taken in connection
with a fertile soil, low cost of prepa
ration of land, good markets, and a
healthful climate, these farms should
prove exceptionally attractive to
homesteaders from the Mississippi
valley states.”
Under the terms of the reclamation
entrymen are allowed twenty years
to pay for water rights. The second
payment does not fall due for five
years after the date of making entry.

New Record In Hog Receipts.
South Omaha.—The week of Janu
ary 17 to 22 was a banner one in the
hog division. A new record for hog
receipts for one week was established.
There were yarded some 108,993 head.
The previous record of 102,784 was
for the week ending February 17,1912.
The week also established a record
for cars. There were received a total
of2,087 cars of live stock and the
previous record was 2.810 for the
week ending October Iff, 1915.
It is probable that a new month’s
record will be made for hog receipts.
Despite the heavy runs of hogs, the
market lias been gradually moving up
ward. The week added about 20
cents to hog values.
The lamb and sheep prices for the
week closed even to stronger than the
previous week. During the week the
season's high spot was touched by i
lambs at $10.85.

Market Stands High in West.
Omaha.--Tho party of boosters from
this place, who visited Salt Lake and j
Denver have returned, and all report
having had a most successful trip.
They found western cattle and sheep
men in a most friendly frame of mtnd
toward the Omaha market. As one
returned traveler puts it, “There
never was a time in the history at
tliis market when it stood so high
among western stockmen.”
Arrivals of sheep at the South
Omaha slock yards thus far this yea:
show an increase of over 16/100 for
this season a year ago.
Organize Y. W. C. A. at Hastings.
Hastings.—At a banquet attended
by more than 200 women, a Young
Women’s Christian association was
organized here. There are about 700
self-supporting women in Hastings
and the association is expected to
start off with about 200 members.

Tecumseh.—Dr. D. W. Hurst, one of
the government veterinarians em
ployed in the hog cholera preventive
work in northern Gage county and in
Johnson county, says that the service
will be extended to farmers over the
county line on all lines bordering on
the territory stated. The veterinar
ians will investigate herds of hogs
for six miles over the county line and
will treat them without expense for
two miles into the other counties.
Drilling for Oil.
Plattsmoutli.—The machinery for
the sinking of the well for oil. which
is being drilled by Messrs. T. H. Pol
lock of Plattsmouth and C. H. Baken
of St I.ouis, Mo., has begun opera
