leave a smooth, even surface. Inc
sawdust should be put in gunnysack
and set in a tub of warm water for
at least an hour Cor still better, over
night so that it will be thoroughly
moistened before using. Rule on
piece of good quality white cloth
(sheeting) about the size of the box,
into squares, two and one-half inches
each way. Number the squares. 1, q,
3, etc. Place the cloth on the saw
dust and tack it to the box at the
corners and edges.
Use care that the kernels do not get
mixed with those from the ear next to
it. After the kernels are removed.
boards may be laid over the rows OF
ears to keep them in place until the
result of the termination test Is
known. Place the six kernels from
ear No. 1 in square No. 1 of the
termination box; from ear No. in
square No. 2, and so on with all the
ears. Lay piece of good cloth Ia
good quality of sheeting) on top OF
the kernels and dampen it. Press the
cloth down gently with the palm of
hand, being careful not to misplace
the kernels in the squares.
Now place over this cloth another
cloth of the same material, consider
ably larger than the first one (about
six feet square,, and fill in on top
with two or three inches OF moist,
warm sawdust. Pack it down firmly
with brick or with the feet. The
edges of the cover should then be
folded over the sawdust in the box
to prevent drying out. Now set the
box away until the kernels sprout.
Keep in an ordinary warm place, like
the living room, where it will not
freeze. The kernels will terminate
in about eight days.
Remove the cover carefully to avoid
misplacing the kernels in the squares.
Examine the kernels in each square
in the termination box, and discard
all ears whose kernels in the box are
dead, moldy, or show weak germina-
ton.
Caring for Seed Corn.
If the kernels show weak. spindling
sprouts, or a part of them are very
weak and uneven, the ear should be
thrown out to make place for an ear
whose kernels give strong, vigorous
sprouts. Remember that the kernels
which are slow to sprout, and are
weak, will be behind the strong ones
in the field.
After the seed has been sorted, test
ed shelled, and graded for the planter,
and the bad kernels removed, it should
be placed in half-bushel sacks and
hung up in a dry place. Put in sacks,
separate from the rest, the seed from
the best 100 ears When planting,
use the seed from the best 100 ears"
on one side of the field from which
to pick your seed corn for the next
years planting.
We cannot afford to neglect this inn
portant work. If every farmer would
test every ear of his seed corn in the
winter in the way described above,
the yield would be wonderfully in
creased. No other time will be so
profitable to the farmer as that spent
in testing the vitality of his seed and
in grading to insure the planter drop
ping the proper number of kernels
in each hill. 1t is possible for every
one to do this work. 1t will cost moth
ing but the time, of which there Is
plenty at the season when the work
should be done.
