PIE METHODS BY WHICH SEED
WHEAT MAY BE TESTED.
Large handlers, OF wheat are mail
ing to many OF the prominent farmers
ofHthe northwest an article. on the
treatment Of seed recently written by
Professor H: L. Bolley of the North
Dakota experiment station at Fargo.
Professor Bolley says: A large amount
of wheat has been put in the bin more
or less damp and has become heated"
Even If the stored grain was only
slightly damp, this heating has gone
on, although it may not have felt
warm to the hand. -. Grain will be
damaged by this heating even il. it is
kept shoveled, because only a slight
amount Of heating Injuries germina-
ton. In some eases grain has stayed
soft and. remained q comparatively
good color. but the heating or ferment-
alive action has taken place and thus
injured the. terminating qualities.
Some samples which the station has
received were reported as mot heated
at 4 III, b but it, is evident that some
heating must have occurred, for the
grain was not sprouted, but yet half
Of it, failed to terminate in good con-
dition. Other samples heated slightly
kept shoveled,p1@ gave a poorer record
than the preceding. Another sample
which was said. to have. been heated
slightly in the bin, but not bin burned, :
resulted in, only one-third's giving
