Condition of Your Seed Corn.


The time is at hand when each farm
er should look well to the condition of
his seed corn before the rush of spring
work begins A few hours spent now In
testing the termination of individual
seed ears may mean the prevention of
the loss of many dollars and much
time, says a press bulletin of the Ohio
Experiment Station. Testing a sample
of bulk seed after Smelling and mixing
Is OF little value, for one is then pow
erless to improve the quality of his
seed by the rejection of the ears of
low termination. He simply has to
discard all or none, and generally does
the latter BY testing each ear in such
way that one knows exactly how
each ear behaves the worthless ears
can be rejected and the quality of the
seed greatly improved While the
termination test is not a substitute
FOR the eGr-row corn test, since ears
which show equally good termination
frequently vary widely in their ability
to yield, yet it is of great value in
that 1t will weed out ears more or less
injured as a result either Of too late
gathering of seed, or of lack of proper
care in drying out, or both and this will
pay any corn grower many times over
for the labor involved.
The experiment station does not be-
lieve. in doing for the farmer what he
can do for himself vs. well, or perhaps
better, and hence 1t does not contem-
plate making an individual ear germin-
alton test for him, but will be glad
to send full instructions for making
the termination box and test, to such
as apply.
In addition to this, the station would
like to study, both in the termination
box and in the field, as nany samples
as possible of the seed corn that is to
be planted in Ohio this spring. To all
who care to assist in this matter full
instructions for sampllng and shipping
seed samples will be Sent

nitro Culture and Inoculaficn.
| Two series of pot cultures carried out
during the winter and spring of 19O4-5
and the fall of 1905 are reported in
Texas bulletin
| In the first series the object was to
determine whether nodules will appear
on the roots of alfalfa when this plant
is grown in such soils where none had
ever before been cultivated, but which
produced a fine growth Of bur clover
(Medicago denticulata), and, further,
whether the nodules already present on
the roots Of bur clover could be car
ried over to alfalfa when grown in soil
that had previously been sterilized; in
shorl, whether artificial inocculation of
alfalfa with the germs from bur clover
| Is feasible. In the second series the
question was to determine the value, IL
any, of the so-called nitro-culture and
other like cultures.
A variety Of soils was used in the
first series, and the method of proce-
dure was much the same in the two
series of experiments. The first series
showed in brief that alfalfa will be-
come infected with the tubercleform-
ing organism (a) when grown in soil
which has produced crop Of bur clio
yer, (b) after being watered with a
solution Of such soil, and (c) by means
OF ar ,nfusion Of the root nodules Of
| bur clover. The results of the second
series Of experiments indicate that in
oculetion with nitro-cu.ture is of doubt
full value ''since only small proper
| ton of the plants treated developed
| tubercles, and these were in no OBJ
servable degree benefited by their pres
ence. In no case Of artificial inOcu-
lation were the number and vigor of
the tubercles so great as in that occur

for minister's children which some
claim are the worst children in

If those who are ever ready to point
out imperfections in the character
OF minister's children would read
the hlstoryofthe human family, they
will find that the perfect children
die before they are old enough to
become contaminated by contact
with the common progeny of the

ciety and guidance of the father.
while he is occupied in looking
after other peoples childreh and
furnishing spiritual food to the
church, and when at home he is
obliged to give his time and
thought to the preparation of his
sermons, it he is worthy of the name
OF minister. AS quiet is requisite
