has issued the following circular in re-
gard to termination tests: "A great
variation is found in the terminating
qualities of seed flom the same To-
cality according to tests made at Min
~neapolis agricultural experiment sta
ton. A sample of wheat grading No.
| hard shows a termination test of 80
per cent; a sample of No. 1 durum only
show So per cent a sample of barley
shows SO per cent and another sample
from the same locality only shows 80
per cent. 1t would therefore seem of
great Importance that every producer
of grain should before seeding apply a
termination test to all grain he intenis
to plant"
