What is the Absolute Value of the Prevailing Method of Selecting Kernels from Ears of Seed Corn for Testing Purposes?

For many years farmers have practiced with more or less care some method of testing seed corn. That this practice has given highly satisfactory results none can deny. The better stands of fields of corn are sufficient proof of the value of testing. But the stands are still far from one hundred per cent, and improvement is desired

What is the Relation between the Moisture Content and Viability of Seed Corn When Subjected to Low Temperatures?

Farmers have long known that a light freeze early in the fall is likely to injure the corn crop for seed purposes the following year. The crop of 1917 was thus severely injured and much labor and money were expended to secure even fair seed for the planting in 1918. While the experiment as planned does not compare fully with conditions as they are in fields of maturing corn, it was begun with the idea of giving some information on the vitality of seed corn after having been frozen. To be satisfactory more work should be done using various moisture contents, various low temperatures, and various stages of maturity, something which was not undertaken in this experiment but which may prove to be an important factor

Letter, Winfield Scott to Goold Hoyt, March 16th

This handwritten note, from Winfield Scott in New Orleans to Goold Hoyt in New York, informs of a Bad turn last night. Again well as usual. The cream colored paper is creased in three places. This note was found tipped into volume one of Abraham Lincoln : A History by John G. Nicolay and John Hay.https://scholarsjunction.msstate.edu/fvw-manuscripts-nicolay-and-hay-documents/1000/thumbnail.jp
