Seed corn selection urged for higher Iowa yields
Prof. F. Churchill of Iowa State College promotes yearly seed selection and testing to boost corn yields. He cites 1911–1920 state averages of 88 bushels and warns that poor seed is a major contributor to low production. Early fall, especially September 17–30, is ideal for gathering next year’s seed, with careful selection from strong, vigorous stalks and disease-free ears. Methods for collecting and storing seed corn are described, emphasizing air-dry storage and safe, well-ventilated spaces.
