GEORGIA’S SUPERIOR CORN
Pres. Andrew M. Soule, Georgia State College of Agriculture
Those who have purchased corn
from the West have often found that
it has heated in transit and is in a
moldy condition and therefore unfit
for food. Stomach staggers and sim
ilar diseases are largely due to feed
ing moldy or rotten corn.
This heating of corn is due to a
very considerable extent to the high
moisture content of the grain. At the
State College of Agriculture a consid
erable number of samples of com
have been tested for moisture con
tent during several years past. An
examination of theso samples reveal
ed the fact that the majority ranged
between 10 and 15 per cent in moist
ure content. With this data in hand
it has been decided that 12 per cent

time t 0 acc|uire the necessary skill.

repairs of si] kinds, and also keep a
moisture would be a proper allowance
for Number One Georgia grown corn.
This standard for Georgia is 3
per cent under that which is allowed
to govern Number One com in the
general markets of the country. Gen
erally speaking southern grown corn
has lower moisture content and as
against western corn, is less subject
to heating and molding. Gathered
with the same degree of care, south
ern com will be a better com for the
trade than western corn.
Varieties of corn differ in moisture
content. Farmers should select corn
with grains fairly firm and flinty,
closely packed on a small cob. These
resist moisture to the best adva*. age.
Georgia farmers have a handicap
over the Western farmer and should
find no trouble in disposing of their
com to advantage.
