Power Is Very Low EXPERTS SEE GRAVE DANGER By C W Pusgley Superintendent Ayricultural Extension University of Xebrarka Every fall and winter the Nebraska experiment station sends out many Judges to examine the seed corn at iows in practically every part of the state of Nebraska As soon as the show season opened this year the judges reported to the station that in their opinion there existed in the state of Nebraska a very grave situa tion They said they had not been able to find any real good corn at any of the shows Tests and examinations have been made in about thirty five counties in the state of Nebraska and not in a single county has the corn been found of good quality The tests run from about 10 per cent up to CO per cent In no case has a show been found where the test would go above GO This is s very critical situation when it is remembered that the corn on our shelves at our shows is the best corn that can be picked out by those who are making the exhibit and usual ly a large proportion of it is shown by people who take the best care of their seed Experts say that in their opinion the average run of the corn in the cribs will not test more than from 5 to 30 per cent It is not hard to find the reason for the present unusual condition Dry weather during the summer delayed the growing of the corn rains in the fall started the growth again so that it was not matured by the time the extraordinary freeze came the first week in November This severe freeze killed a great deal of the corn Since that rime the weather has not been so that the corn would dry out rapid ly and ether freezes have followed which have made the condition stead ily grew worse instead of better During the meetings of organized agriculture at Lincoln I tooli occasion to interview the bst seed corn men in the state as to the condition at the present time Most of these men have been cut in farmers institute work during the last few weeks and are 77 trsfics per- acrv ircrqge yzc of SfX rst

sections of the state as well 0 Hull of Alma Neb has the fol lowing to say During thirty seven years as a tesident and a farmer in the state of Nebraska I have never seen the seed corn situation in a worse condition than it is at the pres ent time Nine years of this time has been spent on the institute platform testing corn and judging corn at vari ous shows in the state of Nebraska I think that the farmers of the state should begin their tests early This will enable them to secure corn else where if they find their own not suit able for seed F W Chase of Pawnee City Neb originator of Chases White Dent corn has the following to say During twenty seven years of experience in the state of Nebraska as a corn grow er I have never seen a season when the seed corn over the state was so uniform hefore as it is this year The farmers should by all means begin their tests early for many of them will find that they cannot depend upon their own com for seed unless it has been taken from the field before the November freeze R Hogne of Crete Neb the orig inator of Kogues Yellow Dent corn and president of the Nebraska Corn Improvers iFv otiin says In all of m 1 nr rnrnce as a corn erowr r te p

indication that the conditions over the state are deplorable Our tests only averaged 77 per cent and we did not have one fourth of the exhibits that wo had last year Seventy seven per cent is a very low test when you consider that only the expert growers of seed corn in the state of Nebraska Bent their corn to the state show The thing for the farmers of the state to do is to fix up a home tester
