TEsT YouR Sc CORN.

Jno. r. Fain, Professor Of Agronomy,
Inquiry When and how would you
test seed corn?
Since this is the season of the year
when farmers can find more time
than others, it is good time to carry
on termination tests. Prepare boxes
or hot he'd, use sand preferably as a
seed bed, plant from to 10 grains Of
corn from each ear to be tested, tax
ing the grains from various points on
the ear: keep temperature, if possi-
BILE, above so degrees. Before plant
ing be sure to properly mark the ears
and the rows planted with grains
therefrom. A good way to mark the
ears is to take a small nail and fasten
a piece Of cardboard to each ear by
driving nail in the butt Of the ear
On this board place a number cores
pending to a number placed at the
head of the row.
Let the terminated corn grow lone
enough to develop a root system
Discard all ears showing less than sc
per cent. termination. Examine the
remainder to see which show the best
root development, dicarding those
showing the poorest. The corn plants
should have not only primary root
but at least three secondary roots.
1t is better to select an ear that
shows so per cent. termination and
so per cent. root development than te
select an ear with 100 per cent. ger
mination and so per cent root devel
opment.
Do not plant a single ear which yor
have not thus tested. It win take on
ly a short time. From 10 to IA ears
Of corn will plant an acre and, O
course, it will take no great time MOI
