farmer who believes that it does not

have his eyes opened by an expert
ment. Procure some rye, oats or
other grain that is usually sown
broadcast and clean it SO there are
two or three grades counting the
waste grains such as blow over when
cleaning. Get a box, such as fruit
comes in at fruit stores, which is
long and narrow and shallow, fill
with dirt and lay off several rows.
Number che rows and plant so to 100
grains of each grade, one grade to a
row, and watch the growth Of the
plants. Keep it in a warm place and
keep moist so as to encourage growth
and the difference in the growth can
he noted from time to time. This is
worth a trial.
