TEST ALL SEED
BEFORE GROWING
BETTER FARMING EXPERTS RE.
iTERATE WARNING AGAINST
SEED THAT MAY NOT GERM
NATE--HoW TO ELIMINATE IN.
FERloR GRAIN.

Sec. Thomas Cooper of the Better
Farming association has issued the
following circular reiterating the
warning against inferior seed:
A large number of termination tests
Of wheat, oats, barley and flaw have
been made by the field men of the Bet
ter Farming association. Sufficient
evidence is now at hand to indicate
that much of the small grain has a
very low termination and is unfit for
seed in the present condition.
To illustrate, out of some hundred
samples taken from seed bins in vari-
GUS parts of the state, very few sam
pies of wheat were fou.d that germin-
ated 80 per cent. Many samples grad
ed less than 20 per cent. Flax and
barley showed a low termination
Many samples germilated so per cent
or less. Very few samples of grain
were found which had normal germ.
ination.
What This Means.
The probabilities are that the sam.
pies taken represent fairly the condi-
tion of seed grain that prevails
throughout the state. Seeding grair
of low terminating power means dis.
appointment in stands and yields
Grain with low termination should
either be- left in the bin or an addi-
tional quantity sown to make UP fol
poor termination. Every farmer should
test his seed Immediately and satisfy
himself as to its viabiIity. Know what
W., fs- 81,
to make termination test.
What Can Be Done.
In many instances 1t will be found
that if the seed grain is recleaned and
regarded the termination can be in
creased. The elimination of the
lighter and shrunken kernels will make
marked difference in termination ol
the seed. To illustrate--one sample
of blue stem wheat as tested by q
field man, terminated 81 per cent. L
was run through the mill again, thor.
oughly graded, and termination raised
to 81 per cent. This is an actual per.
centage increase of 81 per cent, or the
seed recleaned was more than one,
third more valuable than formerly.
There is no doubt many farmers IL
the state will discover that their seeC
is no better than in the example cited
A little care and time in regradinG

Use the tanning mill.
Make a termination test of all seet
grain before sowing. If a low germi
nation is found reclean and regrad
