even growth and maturity Of the

A tester for testing the samples can
be easily made by using two tin
plates, one slightly smaller than the
other. Cotton flannel pads are cut Of
the same size as the inside Of the un.
,derplate. The pads are soaked in wa.
ter and squeezed to remove surplus
moisture. A pad is put in bottom of
larger plate and 100 grains distribut.
ed over it. Another pad is placed
upon the seed and the smaller plate
inverted and used as a cover to pre-
vent evaporation. This tester should
be placed in convenient place where
the temperature is between "a and 80
degrees F. Water can be added to
pads when they become somewhat dry
A record Of the test should be kept
