Plan for Better Seed Corn, 



At the Rhode Island Corn Growers' 

 Association meeting which was also 

 held in connection with the institute, 

 it was decided to accept a plan for 

 securing better seed corn proposed by 

 a committee appointed at the annual 

 meeting in January. A set of regula- 

 tions for the growing of seed corn will 

 be adopted. All growers that follow 

 these regulations will be designated as 

 approved seed corn growers and will 

 be granted a certificate and recom- 

 mended by the Corn Growers' Associa- 

 tion. 



The chief provisions of the plan re- 

 late to a system of breeding seed corn, 

 with certain requirements in regard to 

 selecting and storing. Within a few- 

 weeks an outline of the plan in detail 

 will be furnished to all members of 

 the association. 



A similar plan has been tried in 

 some of the western states and in 

 Canada and has worked very success- 

 fully, but it is the first attempt in this 

 direction here in the East.
