Sammy Learns About Storing Seed

I GATHERED my seed corn yester

wish you'd tell me how to take care of
it until spring?"
"Many a fine ear of corn is injured or
ruined because it is not taken care of

"and I am glad you asked that question.

"Our corn crib is slatted so the air
passes, through it freely,'- answered
Sammy. "I was planning to hang my
corn from the top of the crib. Would
that be a good plan?"
"Yes, the crib is a good place," an
swered his teacher. "Also, the attic of
a house usually makes a good place. But
there are some places where the ears
should never be stored. The cellar is
not 3 good place on account of being too
damp. Animals breathe out a good steal
of moisture. Therefore, it would not be
a good idea to store the ears in a loft
directly over the stables.
"Three other things should be done
when storing seed corn,." added the
teacher; and she wrote them dn the
blackboard as follows:
cents, and ask them to send you their
little booklet on "Basketball" and any
other information that would help you.

twine strings about four feet long. On
each string I am going to tie ears of corn
about four inches apart so they will not
touch one another."
"Your method is a good one," said his
teacher. "You may let the ears stay
there all winter, as there is not much
danger of corn freezing in 4he South
after it is dried out, or you can take
the ears down and put them where the
mice and rats will not bother them. Some
people place the dry ears in the center
of a bin or barrel filled with loose dry
wheat or oats."
"Well, if you will come to see me in
a few days I will show you how I stored
my corn," said Sammy.
