and exposure to light and heat. were
planted at the Same time with corn from
q single ear. and placed recently in q
physicians Office. In one box dry corn
was planted; in another. seed previous
ly soaked In clean, warm water; In the
third. seed had been soaked in solu-
ton of lime water; in the fourth, seed
soaked in chloride OF lime and copperas
water, equal parts. One week after.
the dry corn had not germinated; the
corn in the second box had just COM
menced to sprout; that in the third box
was Just showing the green blades, and
| that in the fourth box had grown near
| ly three inches high. Copperas water
will prevent birds and worms from eat
