Keep the box in a fairly warm
room, leaving it undisturbed for
seven days. Then catch the ends OF
the top cloth and raise the cloth care
fully from the box. This will take
off the top layer Of sawdust without
disturbing the corn. Raise the see

ii is then possible to read the tests
See which kernels have germinatcd
we'll and which have terminated
poorly. If square No. &c shows poor
termination, go to your plank and
take out ear NO. l6, throwing it into
the feed pile. DO this with each ear
whose kernels show poor germinat-
ing powers. The ears left on your
plank will then be good ones and YOU
are ready for your planting. If YOU
do not secure good crop YOU can
feel certain that it was not the fault
OF the seed.
Use one OOX for every 100 ears.
If desired, however, larger box
may be used. But that described
above is the most convenient size to
handle and should satisfy the needs
OF the average farmer.
The time to make this test is really
III winter. when the ears which turn
out we'll are stored for planting in
spring. However. if ii was not done
in winter, there is still ample time
to make the test now, and the far
mer who makes it has the unanimous
opinion Of all the experts that it Will
bring him rich profits.
