TEST THE SEED CORN.

In circular just issued by the State
Agricultural college, in which the
farmers are urged to send samples of
seed corn to Ames to be tested free
Of charge, the assertion is made that
unless active measures are taken to
prevent it the loss to Iowa farmers
from planting poor seed corn will be
greater the coming season than in
many years. Tests made at the State
Corn Show in Des Moines and the col
lege corn show at Ames few weeks
ago, the circular says, show start
ling condition. Samples which were
the very best in appearance, and
which often came from our best seed
corn men, were entirely dead; and
very many were weak and unreliable
for seed purposes.
In order to help Iowa farmers to Sc
cure good seed corn, the Agricultural
college notifies the farmers Of it's offer
to test free of charge, all samples of
corn sent them, thereby making It
possible for every farmer to know def
1nitely whether or not his corn Is safe
to plant. Care should be taken in the
selection of this sample for test, in or
der that it may represent accurately
the true condition of the seed supply.
The following directions are given
as to the manner of making up the
sample:
Select average ears at random from
the entire lot Of seed, or at least in-so-
far as this is practicable. From each
of the ears SO selected, remove with
a knife two kernels, one from
each side of the ear. Place all of
these kernels in a strong envelope or
small sack, and mail to the Farm
Crops Department, Ames Iowa, for a
termination test. Send with this corn
a statement of the amount of seed you
have, when it was gathered and how
it was stored
1t is quite probable much of the
corn from the 1908 crop will be better
for seed than that grown in 1909.
Those who have any old corn are ask
ed to send samples of this also, pick
ing out the sample as already indicat-
ed, and accompanying it with state
ment of the amount, condition, ETC.
AS there will be large amount of
this work to be done, farmers are adj
vised that the samples should be sent
as soon as possible to the Farm Crops
Department, Ames, Iowa The de-
partment promises to mail report of
each test at the earliest date possible.
