the spring. The variation in different
samples was from seven to ninety-five
per cent, the average being fifty-four.
The black. bearded centennial wheat
gave the smallest percentage of veseta-
ton, and the smallest number that sur
vived the winter. In one instance Of
158 kernels planted, only 43 terminated
and but three survived the winter. It
is presumed that tho wheat sown in all
cases was plump and sound in appear
ance, and as good as the average sown
by farmers; consequently taking the av-
erage number of grains that vegetate at
about go per cent, the farmer needs to
SOW about two bushels per acre in order
to be certain of one bushel terminating.
One bushel of wheat per acre is certain
ly enough seed if every kernel germin-
ates, but from the experiments of DR..
Sturtevant it would seem that it is diff
fcult to obtain seed of which more than
seventy.five per cent. will grow.
