This seed condition is true of all
the territory south of the Platte river
to central Texas. except in small
areas. A district FROM Bridgeport,
Okla. extending eastward through
Oklahoma City and Shawnee has
large amount OF good seed but other
districts have very little.
In Missouri all the county demon

raj districts and smaller towns. and
the banks are all testing the seed corn
Of all communities They all report
that almost no seed produced in 1913
Is safe TO plant. The termination
tests Of the 1912 crop show that 80
to 80 per cent OF the seed corn will
germinate if soil conditions are favor
able at the time Of planting.
III the termination, as shown by
tests, is weak the seed must, in or
der to grow, be planted next spring
when the soil is moist and warm. Cold

Cottrell says that from reports he
has received from points in all parts
Of the state and the seed he examined
at the State fair, much kadr seed is
immature as well as the corn and
peanuts. He IS urging all farmers to
test corn, kafr, milo and peanut seed
before the planting season arrives If
the tests show poor seed then there
will be time to secure seed from other
districts
