ItLdilLTS OF A TEST OF SEED CORX MADE AT THE SHORT COURSE
AT UPLAND XEB ONLY ABOUT SEVEN EARS OF THE FIFTY
HERE SHOWN ARE FIT TO PLANT THE AVERAGE OF THE TEST
AT UPLAND WAS ABOUT 10 PER CENT OF GOOD CORN THIS
WAS CORN THOUGHT BY FARMERS TO BE THEIR BEST
vill do for seed next spring If so
you are not alone in your troubles
There are thousands of farmers in the
came boat with you The seed corn
problem presents a serious aspect in
every part of the state No portion is
fref from it
Many of the best seed corn growers
in th state were gathered at the
ineting of the Nebraska Corn 1m
pioers association held at the Uni
versity farm during organized agricul
ture week Jan 15 19 1912 All those
having sound teed corn to sell were
rsked to band in their names together
w ith the amount of seed on hand Al
together the names of only ten men
have been secured who have in all
about 5000 bushels of seed to sell
It is very probable that the supply
of seed corn for sale in the state will
be far inadequate for filling the de
mand This means that the majority
cf farmers whether they wish to or
not will lie obliged to pick seed from
either their own or some neighbors
cop
Many of you are wondering just why
It is that so much corn will not grow
How has all of this dead corn been
brought about Let us try to find the
answer
iw im wiw mmm mm ijm
The above illustration is reproduced
from an enlarged photograph of a ver
tical section through a grain of corn
shewing the germ This germ contains
the embryo plant which when the
conditions are favorable for growth
should develop into that treasure of
Nebraska a corn plant In the upper
crib when not thoroughly dried out
On Jan 10 1912 six hundred ears
were taken from the crib just as they
came without any selection whatever
These were tested for six days in a
home made tester with the result that
31S germinated strong while 2S2 were
either weak or did not grow at all
This shows that only about one half of
the coin in the crib is sound
Another lot of well appearing ears
were selected but without very close
e amiiuiion of the grain Kernels
wore removed from the butts tips and
centers and each lot germinated sep
arately The following table shows
the results of this test
Strong Weak or dead
3C0 tips 249 51
300 centers 241 59
300 butts 194 104
This table indicates that the tip
and middle of the ear will furnish
seed of about equal germination pow
er while the butts have been more
damaged
Where ears were selected by very
close examination of the germs and
only those taken which showed a
bright waxy germ when the grains
were cut open across the end 9G per
cent of such seed germinated Where
ears were taken which by careful ex
amination were believed to be un
sound 30 per cent germinated This
simply shows that we cannot always
tell by appearance of the germ
whether or not it will grow Where
the best seed ears were saved at husk
ing time and placed on shelves in the
seed room only 75 per cent germi
nated strong This corn will have to
be examined again and the unsound
ears discarded before planting
Only the germination box this year
-an tell whether or not an ear of corn
in sound Many good farmers know
this and say they will test every ear
to see if it will grow Let us all do
this unless a general test shows it to
be unnecessary to do so Wre
should know how much of the corn wo
plant will grow The test may save
as from a poor stand and a small crop
next year
Report of Test of State Corn Show
At the State Corn show last year
there were 2776 ears of corn At the
corn show this year there were 694
portion of the germ is seen the little ears The very great decrease is due
stem and in the lower portion the largely to the condition of corn in the
rat When the grain is planted if it
i3 sound this tiny plant simply
starts to grow and in a week or ten
thvs appears above the ground and
its roots spread out in the soil How
ever if this germ has in any way
been Killed then no matter how hard
you might try you could not grow a
corn plant from it This is exactly
what has happened this year and is
due to the peculiarities of the last
growing season
The wcthcr was not favorable for
ripening and drying out of corn last
fall Consequently it contained large 77 per cent
quantities of moisture when the first Seventy seven per cent is a very
lu aw freezes came in November lew avo age for a state show when it
When corn containing much moisture is the fact that only old and experi
fezc3 the germ is likely to be re enced exhibitors send in their corn
cl icpd in vitality or killed When When the best growers of corn in the
rtm is thoioughly air dry it can state of Nebraska cannot send in corn
Etnd heavy freezing without damage j that averages more than 77 per cent
As a rule if we are not growing too t snows tnat a grave situation exists
late maturing varieties of com it is
fa v well dried out by husking time
L i this year early varieties furnish
crrratively sound seed
A ccrinination test of corn crown
or tae station farm illustrates the uc
of injury from freezing in this
p rci ular locality and shows probably
od condition as corn in most
urus of the state while in many local-
state Many of the farmers and old
exhibitors wrote that they did not
have corn fit for exhibit purposes so
did not send in any exhibits
The average of the junior exhibits
was CS per cent The average of the
professional class was 87 of the ama
teur class 72 of the silo special 71
of the single ear classes 77 of the
high yield contest 81
The average of the single ear test
was 79 per cent and of ten ear classes
75 per cent
The average of the entire show was
throughout the state
It is the desire of the corn show
committee that the result of the test
be published -is wide as possible and
fhat the attention of the farmers in
the state be called to the fact that
there will be great difficulty in secur
ing good seed for the coming year
All farmers should begin to make
tlipir tpsts at once
