SEED CORN SITUATION
Prof. w. C. Palmer of N. d. Agri'
cultural College on Testing
Seed

The seed corn situation Is seri-
GUS one. Prof. Holden the corn ex-
pert of Iowa, states that in his state
but one-half of the seed corn will
grow. The same will likely apply
to Minnesota and is even worse in
North Dakota. This has made good
seed very scarce, as is evidenced by
the high price OF it, and this makes
it all the more necessary to get seed
corn early and to test it.
Get it on the ear, If possible, and
test each ear separately, This,is not
as much work as, 1T seems to be on
first thought 1t takes but IS to 20
ears to plant an acre. That many
ears can be tested in few minutes.
make small box, say 20 inches
square and 2 inches deep. Drive
tacks two inches apart along each
side of the box and stretch a string
across each way so as to make two
inch squares. The box can be filled
with sand or soil. Then lay the corn
out and pin small label or tie q
label to each ear and put q number
en- each one, thus numbering the
ears. Then put numbers opposite
the squares in the box. From ear
No. 1, take kernels and put, them
in square No. / III the box and so
on. This box Will. hold 100 ears or
enough sto plant s. IL s acres. Leave
the corn In the box 5 or days, then
the seed that is good, win be grown.
Throw out the ears. that have not
grown.
In case the corn Is shelled. then
mix the seed we'll and take 100 kerr
nels and plant them In some soil,
or cloth can be put In plate and
the corn laid on 1t and the cloth
folded over 1t. Moisten 1t and leave
for 5-or s days, Then count the
kernels that have sprouted. II it
is found. for instance. that only x
Of the corn has sprouted it will be
necessary to plant / to. 2 more kerr
nels per hill.
Do not neglect to test the seed corn
no matter from what source it 10
secured. 1t takes 80 little time
and may mean the difference between
good crop and no crop.

Bismarck, March 11-Starting
with Stutsman county April End at
10 a. m. the annual leasing of pub
lie school lands in various counties
in the state will commence under
the supervision Of the state land de-
partment. There are 49 counties, in
all but one of which a public leasing
will be held this spring. The excep-
tion is Steele county and she has the
distinction of being the only county
in the state since its admission to
the Union that has every tract Of
state land under lease and all rentals
for the current year paid in advance.
This is a situation never before ex-
listing in the state, for every other
county has some vacant tracts or
has some leases that have either ex-
pired or been cancelled for non-pay-
ment of rental.
