FINAL CALL FOR
SEED CORN TESTING.

For the last time, have you
tested your seed corn? Fear
that May and June may find an
unusually large number of corn
fields with insufficient plants for
satisfactory yields has prompted
specialists Of the United states
department Of agriculture TO
make a final app eal for seed
testing. The appeal is, directed
particularly 10 farmers in the
corn belt proper who rarely be-
fore have experienced serious
seed corn troubles.

rieties that will ripen, it will be
necessary for many to plant seed

per cent: but no seed should be
planted this year without know

10 per cent should be planted

Danger that imperfect stands of

understanding regarding the extent
70 which the rate of seeding should
be increased with seed OF low ge,-
mination has prompted specialist
OF the bureau OF plant Industry ID
devise simple tables showing how
20 increase the rate when poor seed
is used. Many farmers throughout
the northern part OF the corn belt
will be compelled 10 use seed OF rel
atively low termination this year.
II the fact is realized and the low
v.ability or terminating power IS
offset by properly increasing the
rate OF seeding, there is little reason
TO fear the reduction in yield.
Determining the correct rate Of
seeding is not as simple as would
at first appear. To increase the
seeding in the same ratio that the
same termination is reduced will by
no means insure an equivalent stand.
There may he the same number OF
plants but their distribution will be
more irregular and consequently
there will be a greater percentage
