har vested with an excess of moisture should be dried as rapidly as pos sible as this removes the danger of Injury from moulding fermenting and freezing In the process of dry ing a free circulation of air should be provided and if necessary arti ficial heat used Seed corn can hi most readily dried when in the ear Where the corn is well matured and is grown in large quantities the coincrib provides one of the most satisfactory drying mediums as it supplies the best of air circulation along with protection against storms vermin A post in which a number of nail are driven at an angle of fortyfive degrees and the ears stuck on the protruding ends provides a good me dium for drying seed corn ears These posts with a platform at the base may be readily removed to places where artificial heat can

stand ing on frozen Wheal ground In the spring Were this water removed by surface drains reason for Reav ing so often seen in wheat fields in me early spring would be largely removed These drains are a too in that the removal of surface water enables the land lo warm up more quickly and the plants to start growth in ihe spring Surface drains should follow the natural low levels in the wheat field
