Testing Seed Corn.
The Germination Test of Seed
Corn, is the title of a circular
jast issued by the Pennsylvania
State College.
"it is a good plan after seasons
like last fall, when much of the
corn failed to mature owing to
early freezing," says Nickolas
Schmitz, the author, "to test
twenty five or more represenl a
tive ears from the supply saved
for seed. If eighty-five percent
of the kernels or ears show vi
tality, it will not be necessary to
germinate every ear, but if less
than eighty-five percent produce
v'gorous sprouts, each ear should
be tested separately and those
cot up standard discarded."
The circular describes and il
lustrates the methods of testing
seed corn, This circular (No 81)
is free, and may be obtained up
on the request made to the Penn
sylvania State College Extension
Department.
