Seed TESTING.

II q farmer believes he can not af-
ford to grow and select his own seed,
he surely can determine its value be-
fore seeding. If he will take an ordi-
nary dinner plate, put little sand in
it and moisten the same, count out
100 or 100 seeds OF the various grasses
and clovers, put in separate plates
and invert other plates over the ones
containing the sand and let them
stand at the temperature of the living
room for several days being sure that
the sand is kept moist, he can readily
determine how much of this seed will
terminate and whether it is worth
his while to SOW it. Seed testing is
such a simple process that it is sur
pristng that every farmer does not
give more attention to it. especially
when it is so very important. Though
the experiment station has tried to
use discretion in the purchase Of seeds
it has been found that many samples
sent us would not show % per cent of
termination; some went below this
while very few came up to a fair
standard. 1t is the lack Of vitality
that should be guarded against as it
causes an appalling waste of money
not to speak of the annoyance which
could be prevented by making a ger
mination test Of the seed before they
are purchased or only buying them on
the guarantee that they show certain
termination test.-Seed Testing

rhe suppIy of New Potatoes.

The supply of new potatoes has not
been very large this season and buy
ers in the cities are fearing a short
age in the crop available for summer
use. 1t seems that the very unequal
distribution of moisture has resulted
in a considerable shortening of the
crop. The very abundant rains that
have fallen in the neighborhood of the
Great Lakes have in many instances
prevented the development Of the crop
of early tubers. In the extreme west
the drouth has been SO severe that
the vines have made little growth. A
like condition exists among the truck
gardens Of the Atlantic slope. The
drouth thsre extends from New Eng
land tc. Georgia and has resulted in
the cutting short of much of the gar
den truck. Some of the Virginia grow
ers will have no crop at all Up to
the first of June the prospects there
were favorable, but since that time ali
has changed. Just what the supply OF
new potatoes is no one can tell, as the
crop depends on the weather from
week to- week This does not neces-
sarily mean that the main crop of DO
tatoes Is to be short. The late pota-
toes may not suffer at ali in compari-
son to the early crop.

outlook for Apples and Peaches

Outlook for Apples and Peaches.
government report says that the
average condition of apples is, on the
whole, unfavorable. OF the fourteen
large producing states but two report
a condition above the ten-year aver
age, as follows: North Carolina, 68, a
gain of 1 point and Michigan 81,
gain of points. In Maine the condi-
ton is SO, corresponding with the ten
year condition in that state. New
York reports a condition 5 points be-
low the ten-year average. Illinois
and Iowa 9 points, Ohio II, Pennsyl-
vania and Kansas 16, Kentucky, Vir-
GINA and Tennessee, II, Missouri 18,
and Indiana 10 points, and in the re-
naming states it is probable that con-
siderably less than an average crop
will be produced. The present pros
poets Of the peach crop are quite fav-
orable. Notwithstanding the fact that
several important peach growing
states report conditions considerably
below their ten-year averages. The
states showing such reductions are:
Tennessee points, Georgia 8, Kansas
80, and Missouri 35 points. On the
other hand, Mississippi reports a con-
dition 1 point, Virginia 2, South Caro-
