Inc. If all the kernels show strong
sprouts try a second test, If this gives
the same result the vitality of the seed
may be taken for granted. If some of
the kernels fail to terminate and 9th
ers have weak sprouts the individual
ear test should be used.
For this select a box of any con-
venient size and put into 1t three or
four inches of moist sand or sawdust
On this place a strip of muslin which
has been marked into inch squares.
Lay down as many ears In row on
the floor as there are squares in the
box. Take four to six kernels from
each ear, selecting them from different
parts, and place them in square cor
responding to the number Of the ear
| from which they came. Cover the
kernels with three or four layers of
moist cloth and with some more of
the sawdust or sand and set away az
before. When the kernels germinate
you have complete record OF the vi
tality of each ear. Those In which
one or more of the kernels failed to
terminate should be discarded. Those
that show weak termination should be
put in pile by themselves. IL there
is enough seed without them they
should not be used at all. II there
is not enough of the strong seed the
other will have to be used. By put
ting it on the warmest. driest soil +
will make fairly good growth.

rest into several grades. according to
size. IL the corn Is well graded mi this
way all edge drop planter will give the
best results. For kernels Ut different

preferable. The celebration of the
planter is an important point If an

of corn plates can be selected that will

Preparing tho Soil.
With graded seed of high germinat-
ing power and planter properly cali

The next step is to prepare the soil to
receive the seed. In sections where
there Is any danger of drought it pays
to run over the fall blowing with a
harrow early in the spring. This crum-

ton. 1t also encourages the weeds to
start. only to be killed by the disk
later. AS soon as possible after the
small grain Is in the disk should be
set to work on the corn ground. If
there is time it pays to double disk, as
the soil is left in smoother and finer
condition. After disking the ground
should be narrowed occasionally until
planting time.
