grower to plant seed from any ears
that have not been given a careful in
dividual test. There are several types
OF testing racks and boxes on the
market which are very handy. but the
home made tester will answer the pur
pose ,cls well il enc hasn't the price.
) Nc i'iea to be carried out is to take
at least six kernels from each ear, SO
arranging the testing box that one has
al, accurate reference between the six
kernel groups and the ear from which
the groups were taken Perhaps the
most convenient means OF doing this is
by fixing a shallow box as long and
broad as desired and about FIVE inches
deep, spreading moist earth or sawdust
i'll the bottom to the depth OF two in
ches and on this placing piece OF
N.iitc cloth about ten inches larger
than the box all around, which has
been marked o" in squares OF about
two inches and hall and numbered
IN consecutive order. The ears Eom
which the kernels are taken should be
in such order that the operator will
know from which ear each group OF six
kernels is taken. When the squares
all have their quotas OF six kernels each
a piece of cloth OF about the same size
as the first should be carefully placed
over the kernels. and when this has
been placed so as to cover all the ker-
neis and with edges extending outside
the box third cloth should be laid
on. and on this should be spread the
sawdust or other material which is to
be used, and this moistened sufficiently
SO as to make termination possible
When loaded the testing box should
be placed i'll a warm room, and when
1t has stood about week the cover
ing should be raised at the corner and
il the termination has proceeded far
enough to tell the story the first cloth
with the sawdust, should be carefully
removed. The cloth Immediately over
the seed can then be removed without
disturbing the kernels which lie be-
meath, when the story OF the germin-
ating power OF the ears will be plainly
told, In deciding which ears to elimi-
nate it is just as necessary to discard
ears whose kernels show weak vitality
as those which fail to terminate at all.
Only those should be selected which
show vigorous root and shoot deve-
lopment in at least five out of six kerr
nels. If the scarcity OF seed corn ne
ceSsitatcs the use OF ears showing only
four good kernels, this fact should be
kept i'll mind in selecting plates for the
planter boxes, as more seed will have
to be used to secure the desired stand.
Unless a careful method OF testing in
dividual ears like that outlined above is
followed there will be thousands Of
fields of corn next season that will have
