a group of farms. To accomplish
this, he said. experts from Purdue

How Corn Is Tested
About $50 farmers have taken adj
vantage of the chance to have their
corn tested This has been done
by the rag doll method The
seed in this way is classified as
strong, weak. diseased or dead.
The testing is being done by the
National Youth Administration
Sample kernels are taken from each
part of an ear and placed on a
long piece of paper Kernels from
other ears are placed at intervals
along the sheet.
The paper then is rolled and
marked then placed in a germinator,
where it remains for about five days.
During this time it is kept at a tenn
perature of IS to 80 degrees and
sprinkled twice daily.

examination and classified and

Quality of Seed improved
Through Need for Tests,
Abbott Says.

Because last winters extremely
cold weather showed farmers the
need for testing seed corn. more
good corn will be planted in Marion
county this year than during any
previous spring, Horace E. Abbott,
county agricultural agent, said to-
day.
Marion County farmers, in this
respect, probably are ahead OF those
in any other Hoosier County, Mr..
Abbott added.
Moisture in corn when it was put
in the cribs last fall largely was
responsible for the great amount of
seed later found unfit for planting,
he explained.
Tests Set Up
This was discovered early this
spring, and Immediately steps we're
taken to remedy the situation, Mr..
Abbott said.
Three testers were set up to de-
termine which corn had withstocd
the winter and which had not, he
said
Two of these, one of 30-bushel
capacity and the other of 15-bushei,
were placed in operation in the
county in public school buildings.
The other of 150-bushel capacity
was set up at the Warren Seed Co.,
143 N, Delaware-st.
More than. 10000 ears of corn
will have been tested in this man
ner before the end of the planting
season, and this will produce
enough seed to plant about $4,000
acres, the agent said.
Some Grain Purchased
Many farmers not using the IA
cilities of the testers have been test
ing their own corn. Besides the seed
corn saved, 1870 bushels of hybrid
grain have, been purchased, which
will plant about $4,000 acres addi-
tional, and enough regular corn has
been bought to take care of another
$4,000 acres, he explained.
Although the winter was bad, it
has resulted in the farmers receiving
more education about seed corn
than at any other time or in any
other manner" Mr. Abbott said.
Not only will many farmers build
the proper kind of seed houses,
where corn properly can be dried
and stored, but a movement has
been started to construct COM
munity seed houses to take care of
