Testing Seed Corn.

The majority of wide-awake corn
growers realize the advantage of
testing the termination of their seed
corn before planting. The "ear to
row. method Of improving corn has
emphasized the need of selecting
seed corn on the ear. Although the
apparatus required for testing the
termination Of ear corn need not be
expensive. still It is believed that
there are many who hesitate to un-
dertake this work through fear that
1t will involve the expenditure of
much time and labor. To satisfy this
demand and to arouse a greater in
terest In corn improvement, the Ne
Draska Seed Laboratory has arrang-
ed to make single car termination
tests of seed corn for Nebraska
farmers. Not more than so such
tests, however. can be made for one
person. II you wish your seed corn
tested write US to that effect and we
will send you so small envelopes in
which the samples can be sent to this
laboratory. Let US know at once il
you wish us to make this test. Ad-
