This test can very easily be made by numbering the ears and then tak ing six kernels from each ear and placing them in numbered rows in shallow boxes and moist sand, ar ranging them so that the kernels from ear No 1 are in row No. 1, etc. If the boxes used are 2 1-2 inches deep and a damp cloth is spread over the top after the kernels are placed in the sand, no further attention will be necessary for 5 or 6 days, when the results of the test can be record ed. The boxes should be kept in a warm place where the temperature doesn't' fall below 50 degrees F. Seed Corn Should Always Be Shelled By Hand. After the seed corn has been selected from the most productive stalks as they stand in the field in competition with other surrounding stalks and stored in a dry place free from insects and rodents, the job is only half done. Shelling is one of the most important of the tasks. The first step in shelling seed corn is to take the small kernels from the tips of the ears, and the round, thick kernels from the butts and discard them. Each ear should be shelled separately into a shollaw pan oc box, and aVery blemished, misshapen, or worm-eaten kernal should be reject ed. Testing tka Plantar. After fifteen or eighteen ears hare been shelled and graded, teat the planter using different sized pla tes. If it is found that the grades ?elected do not lit the' plates, shell some more con and grade a little differently, putting mori of the corn in thf large grm&t or the re verse. Now test the planter plates again and keep doing this until the grade coafoma to tk* plates of planter in such a way aa to give thi desired number of kernels per hill This step should be taken before all the corn is shelled, so that the work can be finished intelligently. The pro per amount of seed and Ma even A tribution are important factors i producing the largeat yields. In se l tions where the corn is mostly check ed, and the crop is grown for the grains and not the fodder, greater attention should be given to uniform planting. It will not take more than an hour or two to test the pWnter, as described. It isn't good bunities to guess that the planter is dropping the right amount. Test the planter? ! know that the drop is right. NOTICE OF SALE.
