EXPERIMENT STATION EEPOET Injury Done by Ixw Tempera! ure I'recaution Sue jested. A report made by A- D.'Shamel, of the ' Illinois experiment station at I'rbuna. impresses the need of a care ful testing of the seed corn to be planted this year. I'rof. Shamel says the quality of the seed corn from ordinary corn cribs examine. I by the Illinois experi ment station aIiows that the vitality of much of the corn is so weak it should not be planted under any cir-eum.-Ian. e., -iiiiil so g'-eat i ; . I ecu the injury done by the low tempera tures upon corn not thoroughly ma tured and dried, that it has alarmed the fanners as to the condition of their supply of seed corn for the coming season. The vitality of the seel corn is of -great importance to the corn growers, because no mat ter how favorable the season or how rich the soil seed corn of poor vitality will produce a xor stand ami result in a small icl. per acre. The corn in the ordinary cribs of the Sibley farms, from which seed was to have been selected, was found to be injured so much that none of it would grow upon lteing tested in the genninators. All of s ich seed was discarded at once, and a most careful examination made of the seed to be ued on the farms the coming season. The result of this examination is that although the corn selected from the ordinary cribs looks bright and vigorous, it is found upon testing that the sprout has been kill ed upd the seed will not grow. Fire Dried Corn Mont VlKoronM. The advance class in farm crops has tested over L'OO samples sent to the college of agriculture of the State university by Illinois farmers. It has been found that the lire dried corn is the most vigorous. Most of the corn selected from ordinary cribs is unre liable especially where the corn did not fully mature last season.' The corn which was allowed to slajid in shock was entirely killed, and much old seed corn cannot be relied upon. This damage wa probably done by the short unfavorable season, which lid not allow much of the corn to mature, and the severe cold spells o'f the winter season. If the seed corn is thoroughly dry no ordinary amount of coj.l can injure it. However, where there was a little, moisturn in the linrnels or cob the temperature of from IS to "II degrees below zero kfflcd or weakened the vitality of the seed. How to TnU . Seed corn is tested by selecting from different parts of the supply of corn loo cars of average sie and ap-H-arancc. Take out one kernel for testing from near tlie middle of each car, making KM) kernels in all. If the seed corn' is shelled pick out from different parts of the bin loo kernels. Fill an ordinary dinner plate with sand and pour water on the sand un til it runs off the plate. Shake the sand down tirni and level in the plate and run off the extra water not re tained by the sand. Stick the kernels selected for testing point down in the sand, lno kernels to the plate. Sprinkle a little dry sand oxer the wet sand, turn a second small-'r plate over tin first to prevent the too rapid evaporation of the moisture, and set. in a warm place, under the stove or in a warm room. The temperature of the ordinary living room -is warm enough to sprout the seed. t'rreniitlonn to Vollo'v. The following precautions arc sug gested: 1. If tin sand becomes dry sprinkle warm water not too hot to hoi I the hand - in) over it until Ihe sand is thoroughly moistened. '4. Wait until the kernels are push ed out of the sand by the young plants. Do not dig them up until the end of ten days. .!. I'se as fine sand as can be pro cured. It will hold the moisture longer than coarse sand; hence will furnish more favorable conditions for germinal ion. At the end of six days !." per cent out of the tested kernels should have sprouted. If 5 per cent of the kernels fail to sprout it indicates poor vital ity. Such seed should not be planted, as the result will be weak plants, an uneven stand and a poor yield. A Horrible Outhrwiilc .
