The yield of corn is dependent in no small degree on the quality of the seed. The Michigan station advises that this be selected before the corn is ent, having regard to the eize and character of the stalk as well as to the ripeness and type of the ear. When the season is especially favorable for thoroughly maturing the ears, enough seed to last at least two y ears should be gathered, completely dried out before frost and stored in a warm, dry place. A difference of 11 per cent in the yield of dry matter on two adjacent acres was noted in favor of the erop grown from well ripened seed over the yield from seed grown in a wet, cold season.
