to be of very good quality this yeas.
that it seems we should not even
take tho least chance of using poor
seed this spring. The vocational
agriculture boys here at the high
school will be glad to test your seed
for you if you will bring your sam
pie in. The individual ear tests is
of course the best Then you can
throw out any ears that give weak
or spindling sprouts. But each ear
must be marked and a correspond
ing number put on the rag doll
tester. The composite test will give
you fairly accurate check on the
seed that you have laid up, or the
crib. To take the sample for a
composite test, select two grains
each from so or 100 ears of your
seed; put these all in one package.
If the boys are testing, or in one
test if you are testing. If $3.50 to
1909 of these grains grow with
good strong sprouts, you can be
reasonably sure that your seed corn
will give you good strong stand
when planted. If the percent of
good termination is less than this.
you probably should test each ear
separately. There is plenty of time
TO do this now. For detailed test
ing at home, You can get a bulletin
from the county agent. We would
like to be Of service to you.-Penn
