Testing seed corn for germination-
always a profitable farm practice-is
an absolute necessity this year IN
many sections. In a number OF DIS
tricts the last corn crop from which
seed for the coming planting will be
taken was late in maturing or so moist
when harvested as to call for special
precautions. A high moisture content
makes seed corn particularly suscepti-
BILE to damage from freezing or heat
ing. Farmers in the sections mere
corn failed to ripen normally Who dc
not test their seed early enough to be
able to replace their own bad seed
with good seed secured from other
sources will be taking an unnecessary
risk. 1t is also especially important
for holders of seed in such districts to
take unusual care during the remain
der of the winter to protect it from
freezing.
While complete testing for germina-
ton should take place shortly before
the seed is planted, the specialists OF
the department believe that it will be
simple forehandedness for farmers
who have any reason to be doubtful
about the viability of their seed to
make & preliminary terminating test

other ways.
In single ear testing, two kernels
from opposite sides OF the ear on the
top, two from the middle, and two
from the butt are put in numbered
squares or portions Of terminating
boxes or other testers. The kernels
are kept moist at a room temperature
not above 80 degrees +. nor below so
degrees F. After six or seven days
the seed should begin to sprout. Only

give strong sprouts should be reserved
for planting.
Under ordinary circumstances, it

Der of typical ears show terminating
tests as high as 81 per cent, the seed
in general may be considered good.
Under the unusual conditions prevail
ing this year, especially in neighbOr-
hoods where the corn did not mature
normally, it should well repay a corn

surance.
Before testing termination, the
farmer should examine each ear and
throw out all the ears which do not
look right or which have several with
cred or damaged kernels. He should
strive to make up his seed from ears
which in size and appearance seem to
be normal for his variety of corn. Seed
corn should be shelled if possible by
hand to avoid the risk Of damage by
mechanical Smelling. Before Smelling
the owner should pick out peculiar
looking kernels and separate the seed
into sizes so as to make certain that
the corn drill will plant regularly.

VALUE OF POTATOES
AS FEED FOR SWINE
When Prices Are Low Surplus Tu-
bers May Be Used to Advan-
tage When Cooked.

CFrom Weekly News Letter, United
States Department of Agricultural
Because of the surplus of white or
Irish potatoes now on the market and
the consequent low prices, many farm
ers have been seeking information as
to the possibility of feeding them to
hogs.
Many experiments have been con-
Quoted in Germany and other foreign
ed States to determine the value Of
potatoes as feed for swine. In Ireland
and Germany farmers feed large guam
titles Of potatoes annually. From eX-
detrimental data it has been concluded
that to Az bushels of potatoes
when cooked are equal to about one
bushel of corn for putting gains on
hogs. Therefore, if corn Is worth so
cents a hushel potatoes when fed to
hogs would be worth only IS to 20
cents a bushel. There may, however,
be instances where it would be more
advantageous for the farmer to feed to
hogs right on his own place at least
part of his crop rather than to haul
these potatoes to an already overload
ed market.
According to the consensus Of opin-
ion potatoes are fed to the best ad-
vantage when cooked or steamed and
mixed with other feeds. Experiments
in which raw potatoes were fed alone
have been reported. In certain in
stances the raw potatoes are said to
have caused scours. However, raw po-
! tatoes in small quantities and in a
diet lacking succulence may be condu-

In cooking potatoes only enough
water should be used to make mealy
mash and prevent burning. The re-
sultant meal should then be mixed
with cornmeal or other grain supple
ment. Tankage, skim milk or meat
meal would probably add to the profit
| Of the mixture. Potatoes when pre-
pared in the manner described and un
der the conditions mentioned can often
! be fed to pigs with advantage.
