Tests of Seed Corn.

Tests OF seed corn made by the 1arm-
ers in accordance with the method ur-
ged by the agricultural missionaries on
the "corn special'' have surprised many.
The custom among our farming people
has been to select for seed the plump.
est, latest ears without regard to any
other test. 1t seems now that this test,
that Of appearance, is not enough.
There was published in the Sun recent
ly some letters giving results of expert
ments. MIR. Horace L. Smith, Of Bal
timore county, wrote to Mr.. G. Bosley
Littlg, of the Chamber Of Commerce,
who was largely instrumental in send
ing out the "corn special" that he got
from Hartford county farmer a lot Of
the finest looking seed corn that could
be procured. This corn he proceeded
to test with the following result: Out
of $40 ears only 100 sprouted, and OF
these only Is sprouted vigorously.
Mr.. T. Murray Maynadier, Of Hartford
county, tested 200 ears and IL failed to
terminate, and these IL were among
the finest looking of the lot. Miss
Grace Riddle, Baltimore county school
girl, heard the talk from the corn spe.
cial' and made some tests, finding that
one half the ears were poor seed. About
IL good ears it is said, will seed an acre.
The work Of testing therefore for the
ordinary farm is not great, and 1t would
seem that it will pay any farmer to do
it. For farmer to plant bad seed,
pillow and cultivate it and get nothing,
or at best not full crop, is but lost la
Dor and wise man will avoid working
for nothing if he can. Those public
spirited people who have called the at
tention of farmers to this subject are
doing a great service, and it will result
without doubt in increased corn crops
even with the same cost Of labor and
manure.
Along with the gospel Of good corn
and good farming goes the gospel Of
good roads. Good roods are an evidence
of enlightenment. just as good farming
is, and the good farmer finds himself at
great disadvantage when he is unable
to haul his crops to market at the pro-
per time because of the condition Of
the roads. Or if the roads are to de-
gree passable he finds it great hard
ship 10 be compelled to have several
horses to do the work one could do if
the roads were good. Without doubt
Maryland is marching in the procession
of improvement.-Ed Baltimore Sun.
