Description
U.S. Department of Agriculture poster for seed corn
Title from item
"Home-grown seed is surest and best"
"For 1918 plantings and to insure adapted seed for 1919"
"Start right now!"
"Where?--In the field from standing stalks of a variety that has 'made good' and proved locally adapted."
"How?--Pick best ears from plants showing best yields in fair competition with neighboring plants. Storm-proof plants with hanging ears give best seed. Long ears, with large, uniform kernels are best. Avoid sappy ears heavy with water."
"When?--as soon as ears are ripe and hard--before heavy frosts or autumn rains injure the kernels for seed. The day the ears are selected they should be hung where they will become thoroughly dry in a few days."
"Why?--It pays. Field selection of seed corn is one of the surest and best paying operations on the farm. Proper care of seed corn pays well. Tests show that properly cared for seed corn has yielded 18 bushels more per acre than crib-stored seed from the same field."
"Insure a right start for your next two corn crops by saving ample seed now"
"For further information ask your county agent, or write for Farmers' Bulletin 415, 'seed corn'"
"U.S. Department of Agriculture Washington, D.C. cooperating with state agricultural colleges"
"Please post conspicuously"
