warm room where It will not be upset
or disturbed until the test is finished.
The watering Is best done by laying
a small piece Of paper fiat on the tray
and pouring the water carefully on
this until the sand Is fully saturated.
The planted tray should not be al.
lowed to dry out until the young corn
plants are an inch or two above the
sand. Sometimes the corn roots are
stih enough to push the kernels up
out Of the sand. When this happens
they should be covered again by
sprinkling some damp sand on them.
This method Of terminating seed.
corn has been carefully tested for a
long term Of years. 1t Is one OF the
best and simplest because the neces.
sary materials can be easily procured.
the terminating seed does not need to
be uncovered or disturbed during the
test. and the conditions are artificial
only to the extent Of treating all
kernels alike. which Is necessary to
secure reliable results. Testing In soil
is much the most natural method Of
determining the probabilities Of
growth In the field.
Another very important thing to
consider In corn planting Is the depth
Of the seed. Don't plant too deep.

of these girls rank high in class, and
as many children are in the hotel
