from L. N. Trent of Alexandria en-
quiring about seed corn. Nh. Bren-
ner sent a small sample for him
to test. Mr.. Trent writes that out OF
the 81 kernels sent which he tested,
SO sprouted. He was so tickled over
the result that he sent Mr.. Bremen
SIS for two bushels and a half for
seed. Mr.. Bremen tested ITO kernels
from 355 a + IN his seed germinator
and all but g %sprouted. This is a re-
markable test. Mr.. Trent's test of
81 kernels is a small fraction Of n
per cent better than Mr.. Brenner's
own test. 1t pays to raise good corn.
