TEST SEED BEFORE PLANTING
Otherwise Full Crop Cannot Be Grown
Even Under the Most Favorable
Weather Conditions.

Practically the only element in crop
production that the farmer has COM
pletely under his own control is the
planting of good seed.
1t is important that farm seeds he
tested before they are sown. Other

simple apparatus necessary and of be-

poses and methods of testing and the
features of importance peculiar to
tests of particular kinds of seeds. Ask

The demand for range in tho na-
