Hybrid Seed Production and Preparation 
The production of SCOTTS Hybrid 
Seed Corn centers on quality seeds 
that will plant uniformly and pro- 
duce big crops. 
The strict rules of certification are 
more than met in proper isolation 
of fields and prompt detasseling, 
both of which insure purity and 
uniformity of seed. Drying at 
recommended temperatures, hand

sorting to remove damaged kernels 
and less desirable ears insures high 
germination and strong sprouts. 
Careful grading of kernels for 
width, length and thickness insures 
uniform stands and_ trouble-free 
planting. The final step of treating 
gives further assurance of heal- 
thy, vigorous uniform stands for 
SCOTT customers.

Rate of Planting Corn 
For maximum yield, experiments show that corn should be planted at a 
rate which will produce ears weighing about 1/2 lb. each. It is estimated 
that a loss in yield from 8 to 10 bushels per acre will result for each 1/10 
lb. that ears vary from this 1/2 lb. per ear standard. As an example, ears 
averaging 7/10 lb. would result in a yield loss of 16 to 20 bushels per acre.
