20% to 70%,

purchase seed grain this year should make
careful selection upon Germination Tests. A
farmer can make a simple and accurate test
at home by sprouting a number of kernels
either between two Bheets of dampened blot*
ting paper or in a box 6f earth. The sample
sprouted must be a fair average of the lot
