GOOD SEED is
HALF OF THE CROP

Within a short time seed drills
of all kinds will be seen operating
in the fields Already most farm
ers have their seed selected for
planting 1t has been gathered
from many sources. Much of it is
good and some of it is inferior.
Still it will all be put into the
ground with the expectation of re-
ceiving good stand and a good
crop in the fall. Those who have
been reading agricultural journals
are familiar with the statement
that only about 10 per cent of the
seed that is being planted in the
United States terminates. In other
words, thirty seeds out of every
hundred are lost. 1t is well known
by all farmers that in order to se-
cure good pig, a good calf or
good colt that good dam and sire
are very essential indeed, but the
fact that thoroughly cleaned seed,
high in quality and termination,
are very important factors in getting
stand and good crop is often
overlooked. All seed grain should
be tested for termination and
famed several times if it is neces-
sary to free it of its foreign matter,
then treated for grain diseases by
using one pound of formaldehyde,
40 per cent strength, mixed with
forty gallons of water. A gallon of
the mixture will treat one bushel
of grain.
To make termination test is
very simple. Two pie tins and
three moist blotters are all that is
required. Place one hundred seeds
taken from your seed grain on one
of the moistened blotters, then
cover them with the other blotters,
placing all between two pie tins
and keeping them in a room hav-
ing temperature of about 10 de-
grees. In three days all seeds that
are strong and vital will have ger
minated This test will now give
you the per cent of your seed that
will grow.
Our public schools have an op-
portunity here to do some very
valuable work in this regard, as
they could ask the farmers in the
various school districts to bring in
samples of their seed grains to be
tested. The termination test could
then be made by the students, later

"Thcre are great many things

meant, more diversified farming,
more stock on the farms. especially
dairy stock, better preparation of the

use Of water.
diversified farming is the founda-
