Seed Corn Seed Selection Says South Dakota Agronomist
R E Johnston, extension agronomist at South Dakota State College, says most of the 573 000 bushels needed for 1920 planting will come from the corn exhibit next spring. He recommends fall field picking before heavy frosts, noting that ears from standing stalks germinate better than cribbed ears, with emphasis on maturity, stalk condition, and sound corn yield. The ear should be well matured, heavy for its size, and long and small in circumference.
