urally be expected, as the seed was
exposed to the widely varying tenn
peratures which prevailed during the
winter season. The termination was
practically the same with the samples
stored In a dry room and on racks In
b:-a, though these methods Of stor-
ing had but little advantage over the
use Of the warming oven. Considera-
BILE difference was witnessed, however,
in the strength OF the examinations
from corn kept in the several ways In
dicated. The grain from the corn
stored in the crib showed the least
vigor Of termination, the best results
being obtained from the corn stored
on the racks in the barn, followed
quite closely by that stored in a dry
room. The corn stored in the warm
ing oven terminated fairly well In
all except two instances. In one the
termination was remarkably low, due
either to a poor ear or to the fact that
the corn may have been overheated at
some time.-Exchange
