The importance of testing eed corn cannot be over estimated for it meann a good stand of coni and n good stand of corn means a good j field of oorn. " | One of the best and most reliable j ways of testing seed corn is with tHe j germination box. Any farmer can ! make cheaply his own box. It may I be any sise to suit the needs of tho j Individual. The sides should be made j of 2x4 timbers; the* bottom, of any ! convenient material. A box the size j suggested here will test two hundred j ears at one time, enough seed to ; plant about sixteen acres. It usually requires about 12 ears to plant an ' acre. I 1. Make .a box 48 inches long. 23 , Inches wide, and 4 or 6 inches d >*iv 2. Procure a good r-'^ce of musi one Inch larger each way tlnn 'ho I box. 3. Mark this muslin with heavy lines into squares 2 inches. Leave a margin of 4 Inches between the outside row of squares and the edge of the cloth. 4. Hegin a? the left of the upper j row of squares (top row first) and number the squares to the right. The squares down the left hand side will then be numbered 1, 21, 41, 61, and 81. 5. Place 1% bushels of sawdust or old chaff In a sack and soak well In warm water (at least two hours). 6. Drain and afterwards press surplus water out of sawdust. 7. Place about 2 inches of sawdust in the box and press Arm and smooth with a brick. 8. Place marked muslin on this sawdust and tack to box around edge. 9. Prepare another piece of muslin 2 inches shorter each way than the one marked. 10. Secure an'other piece of any coarse, strong cloth twice as long each way as one mentioned in 9. The Com. 11. Number the ears of corn to be tested from 1 to 200. Use tag in butt of ear fastened by pin or shingle mail. Preserve the identity of the ear until the test is complete. 18. Remove 6 kernels from each ear as follows; two about 12 inches from the butt ofear; two about middle; two about 2 inches from tip. 13. Place the kerm-is from ear No. 1 in square No. 1; from ear No. 2 in square No. 2. etc., putting germ side of kernels up and tips all pointing toward rows of gquares with lower numbers. 14. Wet small sheets of muslin, as made in No. 9, and place over kernels to hold in place. 15. Place a large sheet of cloth as made In No. 10 over this. 16. Put about 2 Inches of wet sawdust on this, press Arm, and fold edges of cloth over to cover sawdust. 17. Keep from freezing.- If kept warm, sprouts should be long enough In 7 or 8 days. 18. Open by rolling the cloth con* tatning the sawdust; then taking off the loose cloth carefully, not disturb* ing the kernels. Reading the Test. 19. Do not read until sprouts are at least 2 inches long. ?C tf all ?.? .. I .. ? ww aviuQis *ruw Weil, the ear is considered "strong." 21. If the sprouts are weak, call that a "weak" ear. 22. If two or more kernels do not grow, call it a "bad" ear. 23. All bnt strong ears should be rejected for seed. Hare all sawdust and cloth thoroughly wet. If warm water is used, it will promote early growth. If sawdust and cloths ' to be used repeatedly, thoroughl* scald to destroy mold PREVENT 8WEET POTATO ROT8, j Increase Production, Decreaae Loss. Clemson College.?Bweet potato rota take a toll from two to four million dollars every year from South Carolina, and as the time approaches for j bedding, the way in which some of the j more troublesome of these diseases I get into the fleld should be kept in | mind. Black rot, foot-rot, and scurf live I over winter on the potatoes In storage. When potatoes affected with these ' troubles are used for seed, the dla- J eases get on the sprouts and are car rled directly to the fleld. Seed pota- j toes should therefore he carefully selected and no tuber used whose surface shows any sign at all of blackened or discolored areas. These diseases also llVe over from one season to the next In the old beds. The potatoee should therefore be bedded each year In a new place where potatoes have never been grown or bedded before. These diseases are so common that I H Is almost Impossible to secure pota- j ??roo nutiivi; irw iruin an or mom. Therefore, it is well to soak the tubers M minutes In a solution of formalins made by adding one pint of formaline to SO gallons of water. This treatment which wifl destroy any disease germs which happen to he on the surface of the potatoes, can he made at any time before plan til.*, provided the potatoes are allowed to dry and are stored In bags or bins which have been similarly treated. fly selecting and treating your seed pot?toes you can Increase your productlon and at the same time make the potatoes keep better next winter.
