Earl Dalziel, with four men, under
the direction Of the Algona CONNER
lcial Club. Is very busy testing seed
corn. Up to date they have tested
about 400 bushels, most Of 1t by the
rag doll method. They take six kerr
Snels from each ear. wrap 1t in a muslin
cloth, soak 1t in water for twenty-t
hours, after which 1t is kept for seven
days. A charge of Is cents a bushel
Is made for testing, which will almost
pay the expense incurred. Mr.. Dalziei
says 30 far, the corn tested has aver
aged about so per cent, some of it very
low, and occasionally a lot that aver
ages very good. The corn that tests
best Is generally 1915 corn that was
picked early and kept in dry place.
Often times it appeared wlthered and
practically worthless, but upon being
tested showed life and strong vitality.
AT any rate. farmers In northern Iowa
VIII be more careful In the future and
will take pains to select and care for
their seed corn early. IN
