again i was a cow tester several years be fore i started farming for myself but i cant tell by looking at a cow how she will tost i the truth of this statement is not commonly appreciated because many do not realize the serious loss to them selves and the country as a whole by planting inferior seed it is true that a full stand may be obtained by plant ing seed of poor germinating qualities but the yield will be lower than good seed would have produced a great deal of the very best seed is available at ripening time the problem is then to keep the corn from f would influence my taste and

accommodate the cobs of the par ticular variety of corn being stored this wire may be naiied perpendicu larly to scantlings in a dry room or outbuilding and it will be found that by tho use of such wire a great deal of corn may be stored in a compar atively small space corn intended for seed purposes should not go into thc winter with more than 10 to 12 per cent of mois ture unless it is kept in a heated room during the season of severe frosts before the real severe winter wea ther arrives it would be well worth while to examine your seed corn supj ply to see if it is perfectly dry if it is not it would pay well to remove at least enough to a heated room to sup- ply the growers own needs if it is impossible to dry the whole amount cnreful thorough drying immediately after harvest time
