PROGRESSIVE
CORN GROWERS
TEST THEIR SEED
Successful Crop Depends
Upon Seed That Is Suf-
ficiently Productive

Vermont farmers will undoubt
cdly grow large amount of corr
this year from their own seed
says DR.. F.. Van Alstine, professor
OF agronomy of the University OF
Vermont and state agricultural
college. due to the fact that last
season was so favorable for ripen-
ing corn. This brings up the
question as to how well this seed
Will terminate. termination is
usually considered to depend
largely on maturity, but it has
repeatedly happened that corn
which has high percentage OF
termination at time of harvest has
lost it's value as seed by being
stored where it would freeze
While containing high percent
age of moisture.
Experiments have shown that
When corn with a high percentage
OF moisture at time of first frost
Is allowed to stand in the field for
little more than one month the
termination may be reduced from
81 per cent to IA per cent.
The only way to find out wheth-
ef corn is suitable for seed is to
make a termination test and it is
mach safer to make the test on q
sroall scale before planting time
than to wait for the field test
which may prove very expensive.
The simplest way to make a
termination test is to fiji a
shallow box with soil or sand to
within an inch of the top, drive
tacks at one and one-half inch in
telvalS around the edges Of the
box and stretch string across,
making one and one-half inch
squares. These squares are large
enough to hold half dozen ker-
nels of corn and if this number
IS taken from each ear a square
box two feet on a side is large
to test about two bushel
OF seed. 1t is better to take kerr
nels from near butt, middle and
tip Of each ear and once the kerr
pels are placed in the squares,
covered with more soil and sand,
kept moistoned and in a warm
place, Il weeks time will tell
whether or not the corn is good
for seed. If the ears be alYang-
eG in order on a shelf as the kerr
nels are taken for the test, those
winch show poor terminating
power can be discarded.
Still another method of making
The test by rolling the test kernels
IN sheeting around stick has
been described in extension SER
vice brieflet No. 81, which may
b" had free Of cost.
During the winter of 1917-f918
here was great saving in many
cases by making such a test. The
est does not always prevent loss
rs but It is a good insurance which
,osts but little.
