Washington turkey men are
less about IS per cent fewer birds
this year than last according to a
survey made of growers intentions
recently. Profits are expected to
be better than last year, and the
growers are advised to reduce the
number of fouls if they can secure
them at a reasonable price.
No doubt some of the people
living in Benton county bought
garden seeds in 1947 which were
not used. 1t may be that you plan
to plant them this year. be-
lieve it would be good idea for
you to run a termination test on
them before planting. This germ
nation test will give you informa-
ton as to the amount of seed you
should plant. This is especially
true for such seeds as onion, par
ships and sweet corn seed. These
seeds are relatively short lived.
The test may be conducted with
little difficulty since the seeds
terminate at room temperature.
The so-called "old rag doll
method is the most common for
testing seed. Directions for using
this method are given by John c.
Dodge, extension garden leader at
WSC, as follows:
Wrap the seeds in cloth that is
kept moist by standing the roll
on end in a partially filled glass
or jar of water. The seeds should
be spread thinly on the cloth, and
the cloth then rolled together anu
fastened. Water in the glass or
jar should be kept just deep
enough to keep the cloth moist,
and the seeds should be kept above
water level in the container.
Another method of keeping the
seeds moist for testing is to use
two saucers or pans. One pan is
set right side up, ana layer OF
moistened plotting paper, cotton,
cloth or other absorbent material
is placed in the bottom. After the
seed is spread on this absorbent
material another layer of the same
moistened material is laid over the
seed. Then a second saucer or pan
is inverted over the top to keep
the material from drying out. A
few drops of water may be added
occasionally.
From 25 to SO seeds should be
used in each termination test in
order to get reliable tests. Most
garden seeds will terminate with
in 10 days at room temperature.
Three new extension publica-
tons are now ready for distribu-
ton at the County Extension of
fee, c. F. Webster, County Ex-
tension Agent announced yester-
day.
