Hybrid Corn Produced
At Herr Bros. Farm
A. A. Robertson, inspector for the
Ohio Seed Improvement Association
was in Allen county recently making
a seed house inspection for Herr
Bi'others, seed producers of Ohio
Certified Corn Hybrids.
While at the Herr farm, Mr.
Robertson inspected the drying equip
ment, storage facilities, shelling and
grading equipment, checked the ac
curacy of grading and picked up rep
resentative samples for moisture and
germination determinations. Prev
iously to this time trained field in
spectors and supervisors had kept
close observation of the seed field
during the detasseling period. After
the moisture and germination deter
minations are completed in the lab
oratory’ and if all reports are satis
factory, special tags are issued giv
ing hybrid name and pedigree, grade,
germination and date tested, permit
ting Herr Brothers to market their
hybrid seed as Ohio Certified.
To be eligible for certification, a
hybrid must have been thoroughly
tested and recommended by the Ohio
Agricultural Experiment Station and
the Ohio State University and found
to be at least 25 per cent superior
in combined yielding and standing
ability over the best open-pollinated
variety of the same maturity, de
tasseld at least 90 per cent perfect
at all times during the pollination
period, grown from Certified seed
stocks in fields at least 40 rods re
moved from other corn, and the seed
must germinate at least 90 per cent
strong sprouts and be accurately
graded to meet the Ohio Seed Im
provement Association requirements.
Cutting straight, thrifty trees for
firewood because they work up easier
into fuel has the same effect on the
woodlot as the practice of selling
young, high-producing cows and
keeping the animals which are fail
ing in production would have on a
dairy herd.
