If we can make two of these stalks
produce at least an eight ounce ear
each, the yield will be 81 bushels to
the acre.
Poor seed is the chief cause of a
poor stand and poor stand means a
small yield.
There is nothing else that will do
so much to increase the yield of corn
on every farm as the making of a
termination test of six or eight kerr
nels from each ear to be used as seed
and discarding those ears which show
weak or sickly roots or stem sprouts.
The most common mistake is to con-
clude that we can judge the germi-
mating power of seed corn by looking
at it and that it does not need testing.
A few days spent during March in
selecting and testing our seed corn
may be worth more to us at harvest
time than a whole years hard work.
1t is nothing more or less less than
good business for us to know that
the seed we put into the ground will
grow. And the only way we can tell
good seed is by testing it.
One man in two days can test e.
nough corn to plant 40 acres of grund.
Testing will not cost to exceed 10
cents an acre. Yet, because it is "too
much bother" to test corn, we pick
out 600 ears, look at them, guess
that they will grow, and plant them.
AS a consequence more than IL acres
out of every 40 planted to corn in
the average Corn belt state produce
nothing.
BY testing we get rid of the dead,
weak and moldy ears. Testing does
not hurt the corn. 1t requires but
little time and that at a season of
the year when we have little to do.
By testing we have everything to
gain, and nothing to lose.
| There are several methods of test
ing corn but the limitations of this
article will not permit of a descrip-
ton of any of them. Any county a.
gent, any agricultural college or any
good farmer will be glad to tell his
neighbor how to test seed corn.
After the corn has been tested,
sorted, shelled and graded for the
planter and the bad kernels removed,
it should be placed in half-bushel
sacks and hung up in dry place. We
should put in sack separate from
the rest, the seed from the best 100
ears When planting we should use
the seed from these chest 100 ears
on one side of the field and pick our
seed corn from these rows next year.
If we have no good seed corn we
should buy from our neighbors OF
some one in the community. We
should not import seed corn from out
side our immediate vicinity. Thou
sands of individual ear tests prove that
home grown seed will yield on an
average, from eight to twenty bush
els of corn more to the acre than will
imported seed. The best plan is to
grow our own seed and test every
ear intended for planting.

At that time Assistant Secretary

ceeded by Lincoln c. Andrews of New
York Although changes have not
been worked out in detail, and some
of them may be delayed, IL was indi-
Gated that in a general way the ar
rangement would be somewhat as fol-
lows:
Undersecretary Winston will be
come secretary of the World War
Foreign Debt Commission and viii
have jurisdiction in handling all for
, eign debt matters, two functions now
carried on by Mr.. Wadsworth. These
will be in addition TO the regular du-
| ties assigned to the Undersecretary'
office.
Assistant Secretary Dewey will su-
pervise all railroad loan questions,
heretofore under control of Mr.. Wads-
| worth, in addition to his duties as
Assistant Secretary IN charge OF fis
cal affairs.
Assistant Secretary Moss will be
relieved of jurisdiction over the In
ternal Revenue Bureau. which will
be given to Mr.. Andrews. Mr.. Moss,
however, VIII retain SupeTFisloH ONff
| the bureaus prohibition unit, thus
keeping enforcement efforts centert d
in one Office. which will continue in
| charge of the division of customs and
the Coast Guard. both of which are
active in the prohibition program.
Mr.. Andrews, in addition to the In
ternal Revenue Bureau, which us
ually is regarded as a oueman job,
probably will be given charg" of the
supervising architects office also, to-
gether with continued control over
| the Public Health Service.
| While this arrangement of duties
is subject to revision, Treasury a.
ficials believe il will provide 4 more
balanced distribution of the work,
with relief especially for Mr.. Moss,
whose Office has handled probably tie
greatest volume of any in the de-
partment.
