Notice This News Item
Unique Test Of Seed Corn
Besides testing corn to see if it will
grow and warning farmers of the poor
condition of seed corn this year, the
Conunerical Club of Omaha has made
a test wltlch shows the result of freez
ing corn which contains a good deal of
moisture. The result shows that even
some of the corn standing in the llelds,
supposed to be the best seed corn
Nebraska has this year, may bo worth
less for seed.
Ten ears of corn were selected which
were shown by tests to bo strong.
Mvery kernel tested had good sprouts
and a strong root system. A govern
ment export at the Omaha drain Kx
change tested them to learn the moist
ure. It was less than 1(1 per cent.
Then these ten good ears were soak
ed for various lengths of time and
after the water dried Into the corn,
thov were again tested to Hud out how
much moisture they contained. Tlioso
soaked .1 hours had percent: (5 hours
27 per cent and 8 hours !lu per cent,
All were put in a refrigerating plant
where the air was 15 degrees below
zero.
After 7t! hours exposure, the corn
was again tester1. Of one hundred
kernels from the ears which had ',':j
per cent moisture, only US germinated;
whilo but t!(5 kernels in one hundred
from the ears with 27 per cent moist
uro sliowod sign-, of life, and but '21
grains in ouo hundred taken from tho
ears containing :il per cent moisture
sprouted.
This teat shows that corn containing
more than '2i per cont moisture cannot
stand freezing for cvon a short time,
without killing a large purccntago of,
tho kernols and making the cars
worthless foi seed. ,
