35 Per Cent of Texas
Seed Corn Worthless
Only 65 per cent of the seed corn
The Texas state sweepstakes of
the National fceed Corn Show was
won by A. L. Kendrick of Yorktown,
Dewltt county, but he was later de-
feated for the grand championship
In the cribs of Texas farmers this by Mrs. Elsie M. Paluska of Waver-
year is fit for use. The figure Is iy, m., whose entry was awarded the
based on germination tests of seedj thousand dollar C. M. Kittle trophy,
Corn from 99 farms in 15 counties in
the state that were entered in the
National Seed Corn Show held in
Chicago recently.
Fully 35 per cent of the Texas seed
Corn tested showed poor germina-
tion, according to J. S. Naylor, the
expert In charge of the testing. Pre-
anmably they are the best ears that
these farmers could find, and yet this
large percentage of them will not
iTOw when planted. Unless farmers
test their seed corn before planting
time, there wilt be prodigious amount
of replanting necessary. Testing now
will prevent an absolute shortage at
barveBt time, he says.
"The big lesson of the National
Seed Corn Show can be learned by
«ach Texas corn grower in his own
«rlb," says Mr. Naylor. "Take the
tioien best ears. Then take the poor-
est dozen ears. Each dozen ears will
|>lant an acre of ground. The land
Is the same, the work Is the same.
Same weather. Same overhead. The
•amc cost. At the end of the season
the best dozen ears will yield per-
haps 32 bushels of corn on the acre;
the poorest dozen ears will yield 16
bushels. The 12 good ears will yield
twice the crop of the 12 poor ears.
This Is the lesson that every farmer
should take to heart."
