cost not less than $1,000 per month,

benefited were the manufacturers and

association is three months In ar

monthly assessment would be $3.50

La Junta is whether the town is n.

The new plan did not meet with a
very cordial reception. especially
from the La Junta delegates, They
advised the Valley Boosters that the

Single Ear Test
for Seed Corn.
BY c. p. Bull, Minnesota Uni
versity Farm.

j. i .s.:. + /. + + ]. !. !. !. i. + + !. i
The safest and best test for deter
mining the vitality of seed corn is the
I, individual ear test. A Dox of convent
ent size, (2x2 or 2x3 feet) and four to
six inches deep, is first made. 1t is
| next filed with sand or sawdust and
thoroughly wetted. A muslin cloth
the size of the box is next provided
Upon it, with a lead pencil, two-inch
squares are marked. These squares
are numbered l, 2, 3, 4, etc. This
cloth is now carefully placed in the
box and fastened. We are now ready
to place the seeds.
Preparatory to taking ten kernels
from each ear for the termination,
one must provide place for keeping
the ears according to number, un-
mixed, so that when the test is made
one can go at once to the ears, and
discard or save as the case may be.
The Minnesota Experiment Station
has found that a tree" is most con-
venient and entirely practicable.
About $50 ears can be numbered and
cared for on a AKA tree six feet high.
This would be enough corn to plant a
field of twelve to fifteen acres. The
tree is made of AKA, or 4-inch post
or even 2x4, with a 15x1S-inch base.
Ten-penny finishing nails are driven
(slanting slightly upward) three to
four inches apart into the tree. Each
nail is given a number, as 1, 2, 8, 4,
etc.
When the ten kernels from the first
ear are removed, they are placed in
square No. 1 in the box, and the ear
is placed on nail No. thus the iden-
tification. The next ear goes on nail
No. 2, and it's ten seeds are placed in
square No. 2; and so on until the
squares in the box are all filled and
the ears are on their respective nails.
Another cloth is now necessary. This
one should be several inches larger
than the box. Spread it evenly over
the seeds in the squares, and cover
over with about an inch of sawdust or
sand. Moisten it thoroughly, and turn
in the edges of the cloth, and press
gently but firmly down on the seeds
Now set the germinator away and
await results.
In four or five days, if the tempera-
ture is right, the count may be made
and the best ears saved Remove the

Observing the squares in numerical
order, remove the seeds carefully, and
count the number in each square that
have no termination. Observe care
fully that each seed has both roots
and stem; otherwise class it as not
terminated. All ears which have a
perfect termination should, after the
count has been made, be placed to-
gether. All ears with one seed not
germinated should be placed together.
All ears with two seeds not germinat-
ed should be placed together. ALI
ears with three or more seeds not
terminated should be discarded, as
they are absolutely unsafe for seed
purposes. Those having one dead
seed should be recorded as 80 per cent
germinated; those with two dead
seeds 80 per cent AS q matter Of fact.
on test of 100 seeds from any of
these ears, you would get a different
percentage test, as more individual
kernels would be involved. Your seed
of the different percentages of ger
mination should be kept at all times

cent may be planted with the exact
number of kernels desired for the

80 per cent germinated should be
planted with one additional seed per

four to six inches, those hills with an
excess number OF stalks may be
