WHY TEST SEED CORN?

The average Missouri farm grows
rs acres of corn each year. The APP
proximate stand is II IL per cent.
This means that on every Missouri
farm there are 5.87 in every rs acres
that are not faithfully at work. By a
termination test of. every seed ear, a
perfect stand, as far as seed is con-
cerned, can be had. Allowing IL IL
per cent decrease for unavoidable
losses-wind, weather, and pests-a
gain of Is per cent Of corn is still
possible as a result of testing. This
additional Is per cent of corn would
mean approximately A IL bushels an
acre. On the average farm this would
total 112 bushels. 1t costs about 8
cents an acre to test each ear of seed
corn. Individual tests are absolutely
necessary to attain maximum produc-
ton.
This, says ]. c. Hackleman of"the
Extension Service of the University
of Missouri College Of Agriculture, is
the reason for testing seed corn
From the farmers viewpoint, no work
which he can do in February or even
most of March will be any more profit
able than testing his seed corn, YET
not more than one in twenty Missouri
farmers practice it. Obviously, the
corn field is an expensive seed tester
Yet these farmers persist in planting
INFESTED seed with the result that they
must replant or be satisfied with 8
poor stand, consequent reduction II
yield, and lower return. 1t has beer
remarked that it is some trouble tt
test seed corn, but it is more trouble
to replant. Unfortunately, too many
farmers neither test nor replant. A
number of seed corn testers, easil!
made at home, are described in Elk
tension Circular 48.
The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1919-02-21
HOMEMADE SEED CORN TESTER

The kind of seed corn testers, or
germinators, in which the farmer is
naturally most interested are those
which are simple, and can be quickly
and easily made at home. One Of the
most common ones is the rag doll
germinator. The way to make this
tester, which is perhaps the least ex-
pensive and about as satisfactory as
any, is described by J. C. Hackleman
in Extension Circular 48 of the Uni
versity of Missouri College of Agri-
culture.
Take a piece of muslin 10 inches
wide and of any desired length, de-
pending on the number of ears to be
tested. If the tester is to accommo-
date 20 ears of corn, piece of cloth
10 inches wide and four feet long will
be ample. The cloth should be mark
ed off in IL or 8 inch squares. These
squares may be smaller or larger as
occasion demands, but in general the
inch square is large enough to acco-
modate as many kernels as will be
used-usually not more than ten. At
least six inches Of cloth should be al
lowed on each end Of the tester beyond
the squares. I..
After the kernels have been remov-
ed from the ear and placed in the
numbered squares, the sides of the
cloth may be folded over and the
"doll" may then be rolled up without
fear of disturbing the kernels. The
cloth, which was left at either end
permits starting and finishing the
roll without losing the kernels. The
rag doll should be thoroughly moist
ened either by sprinkling with warm
water or by immersing in bucket of
warm mot hot) water for two or
three hours. After the cloth has been
thoroughly saturated it can be put
