IOWA SEED CORN
CAN Be TESTED
WITHOUT COST
Professor P. G. Holden Of State
Agricultural College Tells How
to Make an inexpensive
Tester.
JHE CONDITIONS DEMAND IT
Only Little Care and Patience Re.
CURED to Insure Good Crop to
Every Farmer in Iowa, if
They Will Use a Germ
ination Box.

Testing of seed corn may cost a
FARMER nothing but little time and
patience, that will be justly repaid
by abundant crops, according to Pro-
lessor p. G. Holden of the Iowa State
Agricultural college. This professor,
Who is the highest authority on corn
IN America today, recently told how
farmer can make for practically
nothing a seed tester.
His directions are:
Tbs most practical way Of testing
ahe termination of each ear of seed
corn is by using a termination box
ANY box about 3 or inches deep and
30x30 inches in size may be used.
Fill the box about half full of moist
sawdust well pressed down so it will
leave a smooth even surface. The
saWdust should be put in gunny
sack and set In tub of warm water
for at least an hour Cor better still,
nver night, so it will be thoroughly
moistened before using. Rule off a
piece of good white cloth (sheeting),
about the size of the box, checker
board fashion, two and half inches
each way. Number the squares /, 2,
3 and so on. Place it over the saw
dust and tack to the box at the corn
ers and edges. Lay out the ears to
De tested side by side on the floor;
remove one kernel from near the
suit, middle, and tip of the ear; turn
the ear over and remove three ker-
nels from the opposite side in like
manner, making six kernels in all
thus securing a sample from the en-
tire ear. Place the six kernels at the
end of the ear from which they are
taken. Use care the kernels do not
get mixed with the kernels from the
ear next to it. After the kernels are
removed boards may be laid over the
rows of corn to keep them in place
until the termination is known. Place
the kernels from the ear number ! in
square number / of the termination
box; from ear number 2 in square
anmber 2 and so on. Lay piece OF
good cloth on top Of the kernels and

dampen by sprinkling water over 1t.
Then place over this cloth consid-
erably larger than the box and fill in
on top of this with about two inches
of moist sawdust and press down
firmly, folding the edges of cloth to
cover the sawdust. Keep in warm
place where it will not freeze. The
kernels will terminate in about siE
days. Then remove the cover care
fully to avoid misplacing the kernels
in the squares. Examine the kernels
in the termination box and discard
all ears that are worthless or show
weak termination.
Be sure to soak the sawdust at
least one hour--or better still over
night.
Leave at least two inches margin
around the edges Of the box to pre-
vent freezing and drying out.
Never use the box second time
without first thoroughly scalding both
the cloths and sawdust.
Do not open too soon. The stem
sprouts should be at least two inches
long.
