Ranch NeDs
BY JOHN DEXTER


Much Of the late threshed grain OF
last years crop had high moisture
content and tests at the Montana
Grain Laboratory at Bozeman show
that such grain is low In termination.
w. o WhitcOmh, superintendent Of
the laboratory, urges farmers to have
all such seed OF wheat. oats and barley
tested for termination before. plant
ing. In recent tests at the laboratory
seed wheat has tested from SO to 100
per cent termination and grain with q
high moisture content ranges from 90
10 81 per cent while that with less
than 1e per cent moisture has tested
from 96 to 100 per cent termination.
Oats and barley gave similar results.
Drying the grain at this time had no
effect on the termination. Mr.. Whit
comb explains that grain which has
been kept over winter IN a wet con-
ditlon has been subjected TO alternate
freezing and thawing and this has in
jured the germ. He suggests that
moist grain which stil has good
termination should be shoveled over
occasionally between now and plant
ing time to prevent damage from
and heating. All late
threshed grain should be tested for
termination this year. Samples for
testing should be representative Of the
entire supply and should be sent to the
Montana Grain Laboratory at Boze-
man. pint sample is sufficient for
a termination test.

The temperature Of the hotbed dur
ing the day should be kept between
65 and rs degrees for such plants as
tomatoes and peppers, and from 90 to
co degrees for the harder plants In
jury from freezing at night can be pre-
vented by covering the. hotbed with
blankets. old burlap sacks or straw
All covering should be removed in the
morning as soon as danger from freez-
ing is past so that plants will get all
the light available. Too much shade
produces spindly plants.
