the loblolly pine fourishes the aban-5
doned fields are often entirely seeded
in a few years to young trees. SoSpro,
life is this regeneration that it has
long been the custom in certain sec
lions of the south to allow wornout
land to spring up to pine and when the
trees are 80 to 80 years old to clear and
cultivate the land. Thus there Is a reg
/ ular rotation Of field and forest crops.
Natural reproduction is very prolific
throughout the humid regions Of the
country, and old fields, IL not pastured
or continually burned over, eventually
return to forest. Planting is very de
sirable for small owners, who by the
expenditure of a small amount of mon
leg or labor each year can gradually
stocks the waste portions of their farms,
but for lumbermen and other large
owners planting OF an extensive scale
will, in the majority Of cases, not be
profitable.
On the western plains, where timber
is scare and has a high market value,
tree planting is very important, and 1t
is here that the great bulk Of the work
has been done. Extensive tree plant
ing on the plains was begun about %
to 80 years ago In various states. nota-
bly, Iowa, Kansas, Wisconsin, Nebras-
ka, Missouri, Minnesota, Illinois, Ne

In California the planting Of eucalyp-
tus has proved very profitable to a
large number Of farmers.
The experiments Of j. D. Lyman 10
New Hampshire, who planted several
acres Of waste land with pine, are OF
considerable value, because he was
able to show that the costsof stocking
land with trees can be reduced to

SEED CORN.
a Test OF Its ABILITY to Grow Under
Ordinary Field Conditions.

"a Test OF It's Ability TO Grow UnderS
Ordinary Field Conditions.
1t will not be agreat while until the
corn grower of the west ought to be
providing his stock of seed corn. There
are men who profess togbe able to SEE
lect seed corn SO that every grain will
grow without testing II, but there are
very few who can afford to rely upon
selection alone and omit d test. They
may think they can, but that is only
because they have never tried their
ability under exact test conditions
that is, they have never planted well
tested seed by the side of that which
had been selected merely and noted the
different results. In view of these
facts the Iowa Homestead afirms that
every corn grower should test as well
as select with care, the seed he pur-
poses to use, and, as to the name of
the test, it advises as follows: n
There is a disposition among those
who test their seed corn to do it in the
easiest way-that is to say, between;
wet cloths, under carefully chosen and
exceptionally favorable conditions. But
what the corn planter desires to know
Is not what per cent Of the grains will
germinate under the most favorable.

will not only put forth vigorous roots,
but q vigorous plant under field condi-
tons. Testing between wet cloths in a
pan will show a great many more

make a plant that ought to be allowed
to grow as a part Of the field stand.
In testing, therefore, an effort should
be made.to give an approximation to
field conditions.
AS a can to this end we would
suggest that shallow box should be
procured large enough to contain the
seed to be tested. Put into it a couple
of inches Of soil, well pulverized, place
the seed upon this sufficiently thick,
taking q r to count the seeds, and
then cover with, say, two inches more
of the soil. Keep the soil moistin the
box in a terminating temperature. The
seed should come up in from five to ten
days, eight days being about the aver

as to the yigor Of the seed the plants
should be permitted to grow an inch or
two in height. By that time the OBJ

and grow vigorously.
After these have been counted, IL the
experimenter win examine the seeds
vet in the ground he will find that q
considerable number Of them have put
forth rootlets, but lack vigor sufficient
to make plants. In an ordinary we

be counted good when, in fact, for the
