NEW YORK. March 10.-The desul-
tory character of the stock market in

ono Way to Test seed.

Every car OF seed corn should be
tested before the crop is planted. This
prccaution against n poor stand has
been made necessary by the shortage
OF good seed this year. While seed corn
testing is tho only safe practice III
ordinary years. it is douoly important
this GEAR because a big crop OF corn
will he necessary to meet tho coun-
TVS demands for food and feed. The
department OF farm crops OF the Uni
versity Of Missouri College OF Agricul-
ture offers the following suggestion for
testing seed corn. This Is ono OF the
simplest ways by which tho test may
be made.
Usually several shallow woodri.
trays are made and nearly filed with
sowdust or fine soil They may he
% any size desired, but tray about
two feet square is pcrhnDs the most
ccHvrricnt one TO handle. \ cotton
cloth ;hc size of the tray is marked
oN IA two-iucl SQUARES. each sGuar"
numbered. and laid on top Of tho soil.
Tho cara To- he tested are laid out IL
sets OF ton. each car being given the
same uumhor as ono OF tho squares
or tn" r'uth. Taking set OF cars.
remove So Kernels from an car and
which bears tho cav number. DO this
go', all tho cars When al tho squares
on tho cloth arc filed tn" Kernels arc
covered with second cloth. tAi-d
cloth is placed over this and an inch
az "a wdus, or soil i spread on top
ana Thoroughly vet with warm water.
III pln"" Of tho layer OF soil. a pad
filed with sawdus' may he used t"
cover the tester. This is somewhat
cleaner and moro convenient than
loosc soil or sawdust. When all the
trays are allied. stack thon III a warm
place and "ct tho top layer of soil
in each tray With warm water once -
day ror five or six days AZ tho end
- this tim" rcmovc III" tor cloth ana
