STATE EXAMINING SEED CORN.
Commissioner Barney's Men. Testing

l
| Samples Offered For Sale.
Special to Times-Republican.
4 EDes Moines Feb. 23.-The condition
T; of their seed corn, is matter which
should receive careful attention by
every Iowa farmer. Never before has
| there been so much difference in quail
| ity as is noticeable this year OF the
various samples submitted to the state
pure food laboratory for analysis, but
few more than one-half have been
up to the legal standard Of 81 per cent
, germinative seeds. The best two
samples sent in were sample OF 1914
crop containing 81 per cent germina-
tive seed and a sample of 1915 crop,
testing 81 per cent. The poorest sample
submitted, so far. showed a test Of
but 70 per cent. Such variation in
seed corn will show a like variation in
crop. The foundation of the success
corn can not be grown from poor seed.
State Dairy and Food Commissioner
Barney is now examining the various
lots of seed being offered for sale. In
spectors from the office, however.
can not reach all the dealers and the
cooperation of the farmer is solicited.
Mr.. Barney is anxious to see every
lot Of seed corn planted in Iowa,
tested. He will have examined any
lot Of seed corn, sent in by farmer,
free Of charge. Frequently samples
of seed corn which contain the kernels
from the butt and tip of the ear, are
sent in for analysis. The butt and tip
kernels should not be present in seed.
Select only the kernels from the body
of the ear.
Where possible, the individual ears
should be tested. Such a test Is made
by taking from six to ten kernels from
each ear and the ears and sample
numbered. Where sample is sent in.
the kernels should be placed in en-
velopes properly numbered. The De-
partment will then give a report show
ing the value OF each ear for seed.
