Method Allow ; Eight or . Ten
Days for Germination --A Use for
Old Fruit Jar Rubbers,
(Contributed by Ontario Department of
• • Agriculture, Toronto.)
Without good. seed satisfactory
crop ,production is impossible. Good
crops of wheat,, oats, and barley are
grown each year without 'a seed test
before seeding. "Why cane we not
get the same condition in corn?" is
frequently asked. Corn is different
in many ways from the cereals men-
tioned, and we cannot expect the high
germination common to well ripened
before harvest grains. Corn ripens
later in the season when damp days
and nights are common. The grain
is attached to an open pithy cob that
is frequently slower In drying out
than .the grain is in ripening. The
corn grain contains a large percent-
age of oil, and the grain oils are not
noted .. as .preservatives if subjected
to many changes. The corn germ is
not as we11"protected by coverings as
is the germ .in; the other farm grains,
The fact that wheat, oats and barley
can generally be sown without a test
and relied on to germinate has led
many farmers to; believe tnat the
same holds good far corn, and they
hesitate to do the necessary careful
work and prove to themselves the
dependableness of the seed corn be-
fore planting.
Seed Tests Will Repay Corn Growers.
A few hours devoted to .corn test-
ing during the slack season in Feb-
ruary or March will frequently prove
of greater' value in providing corn
with . which to fill the corn crib the
next autumn than many days of hard
work in the field during the season
of growth. With the seed carefully
tested, and proven capable or pro-
ducing strong vigorous plants, the.
risk is removed from the most im-
portant of all the factors involved in
corn -growing. Various methods of
making a germinatiou test have been
devised, and different measures of
success in operation obtained. The
elimination that follows experience
has caused a discard of many meth-
ods and centered on the usefulness
and simplicity of the Sawdust Corn
Germiflation Box.
The -Sawdust Germination Box.
This method requires a minimum
of attention, it is easy to prepare,
and it is sure. The 'box used as a
container= for the sawdust can be of
any convenient size, easy to handle or
stack up. Boxes 30 x 30 inches and
5 inches deep are very satisfactory
and are large enough to test the seed
ears required to plant five or six
acres.' _The seed bed is prepared as
follows: Pack moist sawdust to the,
depth of -three inches in the box (old
or dry sawdust, hardwood sawdust is
to be desired). Mark off in squares
2% x 2', inches with pencil a piece
of -cotton sheeting checkerboard fash-
ion, num,per the squares, Lay this
sheet over the sawdust, press down
and moisten. Take six grains of
corn from the ears to be tested, two
from near the butt, two from the
center and two from near the tip,
and place these in each square, num-
ber the ear to correspond with the
uumber of the square in which the
six grains are placed. Using a piece
of cotton of the same dimension as
the box, lay it over the seed and
press down gently, do not disturb the
corn in the numbered spaces. Take a
second cloth large enough to fold
aoth ways or about twice the size of
the box, lay this larger .csotn over
thebox in such a way that it extends
all around, cover the box' area with
warm, moist sawdust, piling directly
on the last -applied large• clotn, pack
the sawdust down well, by treading
or .stamping; with a brick or heavy
block, of wood. Tris ,layer of saw-'
eust.shouid be two inches thick when
