Judujnu PEOPLE,

the manner In which that character

We find 1t difficult to think well OF
those by whom we are thwarted or
depressed; and we are ready to admit
every excuse for the vices OF those
who are useful or agreeable to us.

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

II 10 not at all certain that seed
when sown In the open field will show
the same amount of digestibility AZ
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 Ii,
and It has been figured out That the
results would be the same in the field
as in the seed testers. It Is inter
esting. therefore. to notes that a com
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 49 per
cent. and the highest 80 per cent. A
like number of samples of the same
seed were planted in the open ground
Mt the same time, the samples being
the same grain AS those planted in
the testers. One Of the Oat samples
that had shown a termination Of "a
per cent. when planted in the tester
gave only ga per cent. Of termination
when planted In the open field. An.
other lot gave in the tester a germi.
nation OF 81 per cent, yet when sown
in the open field 1t gave only 13 per
cent. This was a most remarkable de-
cline.
One of the samples OF wheat seed
gave GO per cent. Of termination when
sown in the seed tester, but when
sOwn in the field gave only 8 per cent.
Of termination. The poorest sample
for field work gave G2 per cent. Of ger.
minatl0n when sOwn in the seed test.
