er methods described in a former issue of
the Red Lake News and each ear tested after
the butts and tips have been sheled off and
thrown away.
An easy way Of testing the seed corn af-
ter it is all shelled off from the ears, which
is an old custom Of the Indians, is to take
a pan, fill it full Of sand or sawdust, place
the sand where it will be kept warm or about
the same temperature as the soil is when
the corn is planted in the field Moisten
the plant, but do not keep it too wet as the
moisture keeps the air out of the soil and
thus prevents termination. Place about
100 kernels in the sand, small end down. and
cover with a cloth or tin 1t will take about
nine days for the kernels to terminate. If
Is per cent of the kernels do not show good
strong sprouts the seed should not be
planted. Some kernels may show small
sprouts. These will produce only "Nub-
bins" or be barren stalks.
The reasons for selecting, storing, and
testing the whole ear are that we can select
the type of ear true to the variety of corn
we are raising and stick to this type year
after year as, 'ELike Produces Like 1t en-
ables us to discard those ears which have
been weakened or killed by freezing, mould
or premature sprouting in the fall, and en-
ables us to discover the scrubs or runts and
discard them. .--z.....--.
The ear should be large large, cylindrical
in shape and the tip and butt we'll covered
with kernels. The kernels should be firmly
together, forming a solid ear, the rows
should be straight, and the cob small, thus
the grain forming about 80 per cent of the
ear by weight,
Each ear can then be tested and only the
kernels from the good ears planted. The
kernels should be Of an even size, so that
when planted the same number will be
planted in each hill A great mistake is
made by letting more than three stalks
grow in hill When this is allowed near
ly every ear will be a ''Nubbin" instead of
a good ear OF corn
When number of ears are tested the
ears should be laid together in a row and sep
arated by driving two nails between each
ear, thus keeping them from getting mixed
up, and each ear should be numbered.
Make box 30x3O inches and inches
deep This will test about 100 ears at once.
Fill the box about half full of sawdust that
has been placed in a sack and soaked over
night in water and allowed to drain for
about twelve hours. After placing the saw
dust in the box pack it down smooth and
firm.
The terminating cloth which should be
muslin is then placed over the sawdust and
tackled around the edge Mark the cloth in
to squares about 2114ax211%inches and num-
Der each square to correspond with the num-
Der Of ears Of corn. Six kernels from diff
ferent pars Of the ears-no two out OF the
same row-should be taken and placed in
the squares Of the box with the tips all one
way and the germ side up.
Another piece of muslin cloth, twice the
size of the box, should be dampened and
then carefully placed over the kernels. Fiji
