He is charged in the report wi:h* vio- b<

"While we believe that Capt. Joan- d<

that was humanly possible to save the in

he did net delegate certain duties fa

TESTING SEED CORN D<
" ? ci
Brings Big Yields?Any Farmer Can ! cr
Make Own Germination Tests. w
More Bushels to Acre.
i
Special o The Herald and News. se
Clemson College, March 19.?'Every tj,
farmer in South Carolina who plant* jR
corn should begin selecting his seed ja
for planting at once, is the advice of fa
Prof. W. 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
