Select Your Seed Corn

F B. Munford of the, Miss
ouri Agricultural College calls
attention to the fact shat the
farmers might with greater
profit select seed corn before
spring work begins. Numerous
Investigations. he says, have
shown that in the averge year
a Missouri corn field has sew
enty-fve per cent of a stand.
That is to say, the Missouri
farmer will plant and cult.
vate 100 acres Of corn and har-
vest rs. The cause of this is
poor seed. He offers this simple
method of testing seed corn:
put several old newspaper in
the bottom of a box and wet
them. Then spread a white
cloth with checkerboard square
on top of the paper, each
square being numbered. Now
number the ears to correspond
with the squares. Take three
grains from each ear and place
them on the cloth in the square
bearing the same number as
the ear Put another cloth on
top of the grains and place the
box in a warm place In four or
five days they will sprout.
Now start with one ear. If
all three of the grains from that
ear sprouted vigorously, it will
do for seed, but if the grants fail
to terminate or show weak aud
spindling sprouts, throw the
ears aside and so on for ever
ear. In this way almost per-
feet stand can be select which
means much larger yield per
acre,
