Seed Tests May Be Made
With Homemade Euuipment

Seed tests sufficiently accurate to
answer all practical purposes can be
made by a beginner with very little
practice, say specialists Of the United
States department of agriculture.
The younger members Of the home
circle should find such work not
only comparatively easy but very in
teresting. Testing of 1ocally-grown
seed is aided by the possession of
a correctly named set Of the seeds of
crops and of weeds prevailing in the
vicinity.
Only such apparatus is needed in
making practical seed tests as en-
ables one to use weighed quantity
of seed from the sample, to separate
the pure seed from the foreign seeds
and other impurities, to distinguish
the character of the foreign seeds,
and to make the termination test.
Only by using a weighed quantity
of seed can one determine the rela-
tive quantities of pure and of impure
seeds in the sample. This requires a
balance sufficiently sensitive to be
moved by a small weight, such as
that of a few clover seed. But a
balance Of this kind, designed to rest
on the edge of knife blade, can be
made from two lead pencils, two
cardboard disks, two pieces of wire,
some rubber bands, a darning needle,
a common brass pin, and two bits of
board. The only equipment needed
consists of a few BIB Shots flatten-
ed, to be used as weights. With this
balance, if the pure seed from a
sample balances ten shots and the
impurities balance one shot, the sam
pie is shown to be 80 per cent pure.
Some shots may be cut into halves.
quarters, Fights and sixteenths for
fractional weights.
Such other apparatus as is desir-
able can be made or bought at small
cost. A pair of forceps for picking
up the shots and for separating seeds
can be made of two thin strips of
hickory, or piece Of spring wire
bent into U-shape and having the
points flattened. A magnifying glass
is needed, but the common reading
glass to be found in many homes or
that can be bought at a cost of 81 or
81 serves the purpose we'll Seed
can be best examined over white pa
per and, to prevent loss of seed,
paper tray is desirable.
There are many simple devices for
making termination tests For forage
crops and cereal seeds, one Of the best
consists of two dinner plates and two
pieces of blotting paper or cloth. One
OF the blotters is placed on a plate
and the seed scattered over it. Then
1t is covered with the other blotter
and the other plate inverted over the
whole. There are several equally
simple methods of testing seed corn.

20 Year Experiment
Shows Much PROGRESS

The 20year breeding experiment
which the Bureau of Animal Indus
try, United States Department of
Agriculture, is conducting in CO.
operation with the Kansas agricul-
tural experiment station at Man
haitian, has been in progress since
September 1, 1915. The principal
objects are to determine whether
the milking tendency in beef cat
tie is transmitted mainly by the
dams through the male line of de-
scent, and to what extent this milk
giving function of the dam influ-
ences the beef character of the
progeny. Several steers and bull
calves have shown unusual merit
and have become prize winners of
Importance.
Experiments Of the kind mention-
10 dare particularly adapted to CO.
operative federal and state work.
The great length of time necessary
for satisfactory results in cattle
breeding and the need for records
of official character make it diff
cult for individual breeders to con-
duct the work in a manner likely
to be Of general value to the indus

The time was-and not so long
ago--When many a farmer who
shipped his fruit or vegetables to
market in his own name or through
shipper, felt that he was taking
2 leap in the dark. Returns seemed
very uncertain. Having heard of in
stances in which friends Or neigh
bors were treated unfairly by buy
ers or transportation compares he
was often fearful lest he would be
the victim of dishonesty. No doubt
the number of dishonest dealers han
ding produce was far less than
imag tned, but in any event, buyers
in general suffered from the fraud
ulent practices of the few.
These days of uncertainty for the
shipper and grower, so far as inter-
state commerce is concerned, are
gone. The Food Products Inspection
service maintained by the bureau of
markets of the United States depart
ment of agriculture practically elm
mates the possibility of unfair rat
ing of produce. Its inspection offices
are located in 80 of the larger cities
and from these centers inspections
are made in approximately 40 ad
ditional cities.
Benefits Seller and Buyer
This service is open to shippers,
receivers, railroads, and any other
persons interested financially or
1t is recognized to be of
as great benefit to buyers of produce
as to shippers. In case of dispute
over a shipment any party concerned
can call on the inspector at the
market in which the car is located
to make a thorough examination and
issue a certificate stating all the
facts regarding the quality and con-
6ition of the goods. This certificate
will be received as prima facie evil
dence in all United States courts.
The service has been in operation
since November, 1917. It is in no
sense a regulatory or police organi-
cation. The inspector examines a
shipment and makes a report on 1t
only when requested to do so by
some one having financial interest
in the transaction. He has no author

Make the Sirup at Home

III sectlons Where sugar-ma pie
trees grow, or where sugar cane Or
sorghum are grown, the farmer may
produce all the strip the family con-
sumes, says the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Many farm
ers of the North Atlantic states pro-
duce their own maple syrup and
in the southern states the home pro-
duction of cane and sorghum syrup
is even more common. Sorghum is
also grown to considerable extent
in parts of the north. 1t is not I'M
usual for southern families to pro-
duce ten to twenty-five gallons of
syrup for home consumption, making
a very important contribution to the
family living.
