INACCURATE SEED TESTING.
What the termination May and May
Not Show.

1t is not at all certain that seed
when sown in the open field will show
the same amount of digestibility as
when sown in seed testing boxes or
between plates in the house and I'M
der ideal conditions OF warmth and
moisture A great many experiments
have been made to show what the
terminating power Of various seeds Is.
and 1t has been figured ont that the
results would be the same in the field
AZ in the seed testers. 1t ia inter
parison of results do not show the
same percentage of seed terminating
under the two conditions.
In some comparative tests reported
81 samples of seed of oats and wheat
were tested in regular seed testers.
The lowest termination was 40 per
cent and the highest 80 per cent. A
like aamber OF samples Of the same
seed were planted in the open ground
et the same time, the samples being
the same grain as those planted in
the testers. One Of the oat samples
That had shown termination of "a
per cent when planted in the tester
gave only 81 per cent of termination
when planted In the open field. An
pther lot gave in the tester a germi
nation Of 81 per cent. yet when sown
In the open field 1t gave only IL per
cent This was a most remarkable de-
cline.
One OF the samples of wheat seed

Bown in the field gave only s per cent
Of termination. The poorest sample
Tor field work gave 81 per cent of ger
mination when sown in the seed test
Err but in the field gave only 4 per
cent. of termination This illustrates
the fact that something besides ger
mination tests need be looked for
when figuring on what seed will do
Conditions in the field are much hard
er than in a terminating plate.
An investigation OF this seed show
ed that it had been produced under
bad conditions and probably lacked
vitality. 1t had been injuriously af
fected by early fall frosts Most of
1t had enough vitality to enable it
to sprout under the perfectly favor
able conditions found IN sprouting
tray, but had not enough vitality to
enable 1t to sprout when buried in the
ground where the moisture supply
would be too great or too little. the
temperature too high or too low, and
where the air would not have free
access to the grain.
The termination tests may still be
considered valuable. says Farmers

conclusive. SO long as they are con-

Mass of stlpa Grass.

Digest from an abstract made for the
Revue Scientifique Says the writer:
In South America chiefly in the
vast plain that extends from Pata-
gonia up to Bahia Blanca, and also in
the province of Santa Fe and in
Uruguay, there are large grasses of
the genus Stipa, which grow in the
spring, and whose misdeeds have been
exposed by Mr.. Blanchard.
These grasses have sruit about
rs millimeters (three inches) long,
made up of three parts; first. short
basal portion formed of conical
axis with very sharp point covered
with sharp stiff hairs directed back

formed of membrane enclosing the
seed; and third. a shaft like that of
an arrow.

THE genus Stipa is disseminated
