SELECTING SEED COKN.
Results of Experiments Demonstrate:
the Value of Seed Testing.
Editor Cornty Record:?
It is not for sake of notoriety that
I again ask space m your columns.;
No, sir; for with a school of do or -40 1
pupils, a wife and seven children, :
besides a farm, etc., which demand
my attention and services, I tell you
frankly, I have no time to lose seek- !
notoriety or publicity, even were I
so disposed to do.
/"' write I listen to the drops;
^Kjpfain as they fall from the eaves to j.
N^the ground and 1 think how really j
^^significant one drop appears and i
yet each drop represents a component
part of the stream which is now .
running down the hill near my house;
then I consider may not I, though
a comparatively small "drop", be f
used in the stream of progression by .
noti6nly individual labor but also
fifcatiD? some of the results of exper- {
7 ? - i
, , iment. Fact is, Mr Editor, I think
many of us are either too negligent }
or too selfish to make known ofttimes
the gist of our discoveries. .
Can the reason be that we think our ^
editor is unwilling to give space?
No! A thousand times no. Then do j
we think that others are not suffi. '
, ciently interested to consider our oferiags?
Possibly true. Yet we may
feel assured that a certain per centage
of "Record " readers are interested
and will gather some beneficial
information.
' But I must cease along this line
of thought and get back to the ini- ]
tial intention, via., to state partially
the result of the seed corn test
Wben the corn sprouts in the test '
box had reached a height of from one ,
to three inches, according to vitality
of peed, I raised one end of the box
sufficiently to cause a slant, then I
r?continued pouring water until the (
dirt was largely washed from the i
# roots of the sprouts. i
Next I carefully removed each
sprout and wrote on a score-curd the 1
condition of each check (there were
four Bprouts to each check) acoord'
ing to the vitality shown in each i
ch^ck,letting 100 per cent represent
check in which all four sprouts j
showed rigorous roots, stem, ano
^growth. Of 130 ears (each check
represented one ear) only 10 showed
100 per cent., 37ears showed 00?95
? per cent, 47 ears showed 75?89 per
cent., 34 ears showed under 75 per
some ears going as low as 40
|^per cent.
* Now, I shelled from ears showing
90 to 100 per cent, together and
classed same as good; I did likewise
with ears showing 75 per cent, to 89
per cent., bat classed them assecondarj;
I discarded all ears under 75
p per cent, as worthless for planting
- seed.
With class "good** I planted 7
Uteres from which 1 got an excellent
stand, though 1 put only one grain
to the hill and covered with horse,
using au ordinary board. Had the
worms and insects not raged war after
the corn was about two or three
inches high, there would have been
no need to replant. This corn showed
steady growth and matured well.
I used only a sack of fertilizer to
^ f flannia tit Vin q2_
e&CU uci c a1ju iu i x>v>uu ?oj if iiv wv
' sisted to "break" the corn said he
y never saw better average up-hill corn
in bie life, and Mr Dennis has felt
the pleasant zephyrs of many an
, autumn. Bat I mean no reflection
^?on Mr Dennis, for I remember that
when I saw him a few months ago
^2 showed but little sign of his age
?sprightly, cheerful and of a good
countenance. (A handsome widower).
But as to the fields planted from
ears as "secondary" quite a number
of hills were missing, although I put
from ODe to three grains in each hill.
But haven't space to relate further
as regards these fields, so must con
elude by giving result of special test.
In a separate field I selected three
.< plots, each drawn into three rows of
tt^out two acres length. I planted
m t No. 1 with seed from a 100 per
H /Cent, ear, plot No. 2 from a 75 per
cent, ear, and plot No. 3 from a 50
percent, ear. Hlot No. 1 had no
missing hills of consequence, No. 2
had considerably more, and No. 3
was badly missing.
I gathered the middle row of each
plot and measured the com.
How from No. 1 yielded 42 quart?,
from No. 2 " 36 "
from No. 3 " 36 "
Let me say here that I made a

ach in a separate box, mal
fiistake by replanting tne tnree piors
with untested seed, for as plot Xo. 3
was so badly missing the roplant on
t must have afforded about equal
vitality to that of No. 2. * s
At any rate, the test proved about J;
six bushels per acre in favor of the i
LOO per cent. seed.
It cost about ten cents per acre to
:est the seed, so I asfc the question,
Is an increase of even six bushels per
icre worthy of a tri?l in seed-testing? i
I expect to test and experiment
igain this year, D. V. If I can assist
any farmer who is really iuterttted,
then command me; otherwise
['11 conclude that this subject is
aon-interesting to others.
