TRYING FOR BETTER
COTTONSEED GRADE j
Government Now Making Tests In
Various Southern States.
Washington, Oct. 10.?A new
nethod of testing germination of
:otton seed is being tried out at vaious
southern experimental stations
it was announced by the Unit?d
States department of agriculture
ivith the result it is expected that old
nethods may be superceded. Cotton
growers would welcome a test method
that would give results as dependable
as the methods applied to testing
corn for germination as the cotton
seed tests in use at the present
times are declared to be not very
satisfactory on most strains of cotton.
There is always mucn pvur cottonseed
for planting, both that in the
dealers' hands and that kept by the
growers themselves, it was said, and
for that reason alone a good germilation
test is urgently needed. The
reason for the large quantity of bad
seed it is said, is that very little is
aiown about the effects of various
conditions on the vigor of the seed,
rhe old way, according to the deDartment's
announcement is to put
the seeds between strips of canton
lannel moisten them, then keep
;hem in a temperature alternating
3etween twenty and thirty degrees
:entigrade. Better results have been
obtained in the new manner with
some strains of cotton by planting
:he seeds in soil in boxes and put;ing
the boxes in incubators where
the proper temperature can be mainlined.
One sample thus tested by
soil method, germinated about nine;y
percent while twenty samples
:rom the same lot tested in the usual
vay, gave results varying all the way
'rom 14 to 50 percent germination,
rhe department however, is not yet
eady to say that the new method
- ?1:?i- ~?1,, tnnr
5 enuiciy dausiatuxy ao winjr a. ict?
>oil tests have been made. The exjeriiqents
are still being made at the
itations. In addition to its efforts to
levise a good germination test, the
lepartment is studying the effects of
storing seed when too damp and of
jicking seed at various stages, of
maturity.
