RAG-DolL TESTER Is
SIMPLE AND efficient

The rag-doll method of test
ing individual ears Of corn Is one
of the simplest and most eco
nomlcal, and Is efficient, says
the United States department of
agriculture.
The tester consists CT strip
OF cloth, preferably bleached
muslin. 10 inches wide and from
three to FIVE feet long. The
cloth should be marked Off into
square sections and the squares
all numbered. The ears to be
tested should also be given cor
responding numbers. Six or
more kernels should be selected
from different parts Of each ear,
and placed in the proper Sec
ton.
When the tester Is filed, fold
over each side so that the edges
meet in the center, roll up, and
soak the tester for few hours
I'm lukewarm water. Drain Off
the excess water and place the
dolls In a warm place for the
seed to germinate. They should
be covered with a wet cloth to
keep them moist, and in about
five days the seed should be suf-
ficiently well terminated to show
its fitness for planting.
Farmers Bulletin y4S, 'The
Rag-Doll Seed Tester" describes
fully this method of testing seed
corn. 1t may be obtained free
from the department.

The quantity ard quality Of the corn
you will harvest next fall depend, first,
on the kind of seed you plant this
spring. Perfect culture and the best
weather in the world cannot remedy
the initial evil If you plant poor seed.
A good seed corn, say specialists of
the United States department Of agri-
culture, Is one that Is adapted to the
locality, is grown on the most produc-
tive plants of a productive variety, Is
well matured. and preserved from RI
pening to planting time in such a way
that the full vigor of the seed will be
retained.
1t should have been selected in the
fall from the stalk, hut IL that was
neglected all that can be done now Is
TO obtain uniform type of seed true
to varietal characteristics and that will

cause It fools the farmer into wasting
labor and land on it. Know what your
seed will do by selecting 1t yourself.

best crop usually is the cheapest.

Points on Preparing for Planting Seed.
Seed ears should first be nubbed, and
the kernels from tip and butt should
ne discarded from the seed supply.
