Testing Seed Corn Before Plant
ing.

- =
Seed corn which has been stored
through the winter under ordinary
conditions in South Carolina, is often
thought to need no testing before
planting But the high price of land
| and the additional expense of replant-
ing the field demands that the progress
sive farmer know more about the quail
ity OF seed that he is to plant.
The proper time to make the germ
mating test is about three weeks be-
fore planting, so that if any bad ears
are found in the lot and discarded.
the ears which are to take their place
may also be tested before the seed are
placed in the soil.
A convenient sized testing box for
the average farmer is one that is "a
inches by "a inches, and about 4 to 6
inches deep. This box can be made
from six inch plank or soap or
starch box sawed down to the desired
depth can be used. This box should
nave layer of at least two inches of
wet sawdust packed tightly over the
bottom. 1t will be found convenient
to wet the sawdust in an old sack
by letting (the sack containing the
sawdusD soak in warm water for 90
TO 80 minutes, so that the sawdust
may have an equal moisture content
throughout
Having completed the box, take a
piece of white cloth, which should be
llttle larger than the box, and mark
Off one hundred squares 2x2 inches.
Number each of these consecutively
from l to 100, then dip this cloth into
a bucket of water and stretch it even
ly over the sawdust.
When the tester is complete. take
the ears of corn to be tested and unm-
Der each ear. Then tage six kernels
from each ear, two from opposite
sides Of the butt two from opposite
sldes oil the middle, and two from op-
posite sides of the tip. See that no
two kernels are taken from the same
row, and If the butt and tip kernels
are taken one inch from the end of
the ear, this will be an average sam
pie. Having taken the kernels from
the ears, place them in the square
which is numbered to correspond to
the number Of the ear. Allow no two
OF them to touch, place them withe the
heart side up, and all of the tips
pointing in the same direction. When
grains from all the ears have been
placed In the squares which cores
pond to the number of the ear from
which they were taken, place another
piece of wet cloth on top Of them and
cover this with Q to inches of wet
sawdust. Then place the box in some
place where it will remain warm. AT
the end of four days dampen the saw
dust again by sprinkling some warm
water over 1t. At the end of week
the tester should be examined by care
fully removing the sawdust and ton
cloth. The numbers of all squares
which do not show six big healthy
sprouts should be ascertained, and the
ears which have the corresponding
numbers should not be planted.
