L. Hutchinson, of Clemson 10l college. Prof. Hutchinson urges i every farmer to make a germination ; tesrt of his seed, which numerous ex- | periments have proved beyond a doubt i tr "will result in a large increase in yield. | C? An ear-to-row test with seed that has Sj been tested for germinating powers ! r< will be sure to pay a farmer hand- j t somely in future crops, bu: even if he C( makes only the germination test this i year, he is likely to have his yield increased from five to 10 bushels an acre, at least. The test is so simple V. and requires so little time in proportion to results that Chere is no farm- ft< er in the State who c??. not make it. p The average farmer in this State se- t lects his planting ears bv siehf ainne, h icking out the ears which appear ound. Unless he is an expert and has ad training in corn judging, thi. lethod is not of great value to him. Vliat he should do is to select his est looking ears and then put these hroiiga a germination test. A:\er selecting the best looking ears, 'range tnem suie oy siue un ijiuj.ks, riving a tenpennv tail after every [ nth oar. The ears should then be umbered consecutively, which can ie done by marking the number of ach ear 011 the plank with lead penil. They should then be left until fter the germination test is compietu. except when they are taken out ne by one for the purpose of ge::ins ernels from them. < One of the simplest and best methds of tesiing is the use of i\ sawdusi ox. I'.se a !>ox ab >ut two fc-et square nd nr inches deep. Fill the box [.? wi hin an inch and a half o.' the toy ir: sawdust, well packed. Select a '. ( .< of white cloth a lit:le larger an the u d mark this oil in two :icii ;<iuaes with a pencil, numbering iiough oi' the squar s to :ell ;he numer or any of Uhem without trouble. )y leaving outside rows vacant all rjund the box, there will be about 00 squares. Tack the cloth inside he box so cha: it rests firmly and moorhly over the sawdust. With the box near at hand, take the ars from the plank one by Oiie. Sesct from each ear six kernels, takag them from different parts of the ar and no two from the same row. 'lace the six kernels from ear No. 1 a square No. 1 on the cloth, and so n with all the ears. Kernels should e laid with the germ side up. Put ach ear back in its place on the lank. When each square in the box, exep; those in the outside rows, coniins its six kernels, sprinkle water 1:0 the box until the corn and sawust are thoroughly moistened, takig care not to disturb the kernels, hen place a dry white cloth carefully ver the kernels and another cloth on )p cf this one. Finally, cover :he top Loth with sawdust until the box is 'Vol full. Keep the box in a fairly warm room, >aving i: undisturbed for seven days, hpri ra'Hi thp pnris r>f thp ton nloth id raise the cloth carefully from the 3X. This will take off the top layer sawdust without disturbing "he )rn. Raise the second cloth, still iisig great care, and it is then ssible ? read the tests. Soo which kernels ive germinated well anil which have 3'minated poorly. If square No. 16 iows poor germina ion. go to your lank and rake out ear Xo. 16, throw<r i* into tht? feed uile. Do this wi h :ch ear whose kernels show poor ?rminating powers. The ears left cn mr plank will^ ;hen be good ones id you are ready for your planting. you do not secure a good crop you m feel certain that it was not the iul: of tae seed. Use one box lor every 100 ears. If *sired, however, a larger box may be sed. But that described above is the tost convenieni size to handle and lould satisfy the needs of the average inner. The time to make this test is really t winter, when the ears which turn Lit well are stored for planting in )ring. However, if it was not done i winter, there is still ample time to lake the test now and the farmer who takes it has the unanimous opinion all thp pxr?prt<5 that it will hrin^ ~ " rv- ~? - - o im rich profits.
