Have you tested the seed you expect to
plant in the spring? 1t is very simple
process and much loss and annoyance
may be avoided by attending to it before
seeding time. The terminating power of
seed cannot be ascertained by looking at
it. 1t is important in testing that you
submit the sesd to field conditions as
nearly rs possible in order to make the
test practical. If the terminating power
OF seed is little weak it will make
much better showing under hot.house
conditions than in the field, thus making
the test misleading.-Rural Spirit.
