 The Alaska irOad commission has had a goodtsizcd crew at work in that section all season under Ross Kinney and as a result it is possible for team io land sup plies and machinery on the var ious properties at reasonable cost.

is made by using a 2x2 piece, with
long nails driven in it, each nail hav-
ing a number. This rack is also used
for storing corn. The tester is filled
by taking six kernels from each ear
Of corn and placing them in one of the
squares. 1t is important that the kerr
aels be removed SO as to not injure
the germ. This may best be done by
inserting knife at the edge of the
kernel and gently prying it out, as
shown in Figure 8. Handle each ear
in similar manner. The kernels
should be removed from different
parts Of the ear. After the kernels
are placed in the tester, spread a
thickness or two of damp cloth over
them and cover with moist sand. Then
set the tester where it will have good
growing temperature. A temperature
Of about 70 degrees F. is suitable. If
sufficient moisture has been supplied,
the corn will have sprouted in four or
five days So as to enable one to de-
termine the good ears If in any of
/, the squares the kernels fail to grow
or show low vitality, they should be
discarded and not planted, as it will
result in a poor and uneven stand,
which will greatly reduce the profit
of the corn crop,

PROPER FLOWING INCREASES THE CORN YIELD
[By Prof. /. S. Cook, jr. Department

IBy Prof /. S. Cook, jr. Department

sity.]
The time of blowing for corn will
usually be determined by the conye-
nience of the farmer. 1t is pretty well
established that the differences in
Yield on land plowed in the fall and
similar land plowed in the spring are
very slight Generally it will be wise
to pillow for corn when the ground is
in good condition to be finely pulver-
lied by the pillow and when other work
does not interfere Sticky clay land
should not be plowed when it is SO
wet as to slip on the moldboard in a
shiny condition. Land that is likely to
wash because of steepness or other
conditions should be plowed late in the
winter rather than early.
Part of the purpose of blowing is to
enable the land to store water; an
other part to enable it to retain water.
Fall blowing provides for the storage
OF water in the soil; spring blowing
provides for its retention. But this
qualification needs to be added, that
spring blowing is likely to hasten the
evaporation of soil moisture unless the
pillow is almost Immediately followed
by the harrow. Water escapes very
rapidly from the surface of newly
pIowed field. Following the pillow with
the harrow while the surface soil is
still fresh reduces the exposed sur

Greatly Reduced Each Ear Should Be
Well Tested Before Using


in return for our time and labor. The
farmer who goes to the crib to select
his seed corn just before planting has
poor chances to get good stand OF
corn this season. The damaged, I'M
matured condition of the corn makes
it very necessary tha every ear that
is selected for planting be carefully
tested This can be done quickly and
without cost at your own home. Make

Fcompanying illustration Figure u.

small wires or cord across the top OF
the box SO as to mark off in squares

or cord with sand, thoroughly moisten-
ed, the tester is ready for use.

also retards the rise of the water from
the subsoil, thus retaining it where
the plant root will need it during the
growing season.
The depth of blowing for corn will
be determined largely by the depth
of previous blowing. 1t is not wise to
turn large amount of raw subsoil up
to the surface. Usually it is well to
bring a small amount of new soil I'M
der the direct influence of sun and
rain, thus preparing it to be useful to
subsequent crops. 1t is to be remem
hered that it is the mellowed soil that
contributes most to- the growth of
plants Other influences have much
to do with determining the proper
depth of blowing for corn. If the
ground is plowed in the fall, it may
be safe to pillow an inch or more deep
er than it would be wise to pillow the
same ground in the spring The frosts
and freezes Of winter will do much to
mellow and tame. the soil that has
