are best fitted to help in this work
and are in daily touch with the chil

of demonstrating to the teachers and
schools the rag-doll method of seed
testing and the children are now at
work testing the seeds of the farmers
in an effort to determine whether the
seed will or will not grow. While 4t
is rather early to draw conclusions
from the results of this work a brief
statement of results thus far report
ed may induce many farmers to have
their seeds tested before planting.
Greatest emphasis has been placed on
corn since the seed corn seemed totbe
of much lower germinating quality
this year than in the average year.
To date 80 of the schools reporting
have taken up the testing of seed
corn, the average germination being
66. This means that two kernels
of corn in three will grow. Here is
an alarming condition for if the
farmers of Vermont plant their corn
expecting it all to grow they have
made it absolutely impossible for
Vermont to raise more than two
thirds of a crop of corn. This would
be almost a calamity this year when
every ounce of food is necessary. The
range of germination was from 0 to
100.' No farmer knows whether his
corn will or will not grow unless he
has tested it. It is a duty and a
sound money-making practice. "Lack
of food will lose the war."
Farmers wishing to test their own
seed should send to the Extension
Service, University of Vermont and
State Agricultural College, Burling
ton, for Farmers' Bui. 948 or Circular
No. 10.
