university say that greatly increased
yields can be obtained by putting the
seedbed in the best possible condition,
by planting the right seed and by see
ing that all work connected with the
crop is well done at the right time.
GermanatiOn Test Important
Even though the seed ears were Sc
lected with great care and were
housed through the winter in accord
ance with improved practices, steps
should be taken to make certain that
the terminating power is satisfactory.
