Keep Seed Corn Dry For Safe Planting
Moisture is the enemy of seed corn. When drying in barn or crib before freezing weather is impractical, use artificial heat to thoroughly dry. Once dried, low temperatures pose no danger, but avoid re absorbing moisture before use. Moisture in kernels allows freezing and expansion to harm seed quality.
Thorough Study of Oil Emulsion as Insecticide
A year long study by the Bureau of Entomology of the U S Department of Agriculture advances oil emulsion insecticides. Progress includes stabilizing emulsions in hard water and lime sulfur solutions. Cooperative Washington and Silver Spring labs test new formulations for field use and cost efficiency. A new contact insecticide, compatible with oil emulsions, may substitute nicotine for delayed dormant treatment against San Jose scale and apple aphids.
