The safe thing to do is to test the seed eaily and have plenty of time to look- elsewhere - for seed of greater vitality i f occasion de­ mands. ' ■ - The station . has recently tested eight lots of corn including five varie ties.- Three of these tests were •ujade- with the same variety of corn, - the selected seed of which had been car ried through the winter in .different ways, viz,:. In a large crib of” corn six feet wide; overhead in crib spread Out in a-thin layer on the floor; in. a room where the temperature was from 60 to 71 degrees. O f the crib corn (selected ears; only 60 kernels out of a hundred germmated;-of similar corn kept over- hqad in crib 81' kernels germinated; o f that subjected to artificial 95 opt of the hundred geiminutea. This for corn which -seemed quite mature a t husking time. O f the other corn tested, choice ears sent to the station in 'the pink of condition (supposedly sp until the kernels were examined) showed as ow as 80 per cent germinated. . ■I t is quite ■probable, that the low temperature of the early winter, emu-, ing while kernels and cob yet con.- tained ranch .moisture, „is responsible for this state of affairs. A convenient way to test .corn is 'between sheets of moist paper or elotli, placed in a box of suitable size. ’ Sev- oral lots maybeJegtcd af.once.flhiI.cx: report rendv Monday evening a recess im taken until Saturday night at which time they will be ready* - .CARDOFTHANKS; The-family of the late Mrs. Ervin Kyle desire to express their heaitfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends fin*their many tokens of love and for their kindness in ministering to .her during her long sickness and death, and also for caring for little Robert during his recent illness. < Foil R ent —House of eight rooms, inquire of Mrs. Lucy McClellan. 15d. ?'

Many of the weak, .spindlings ■ stalks which p'roduce a small nubbin, or nothing at all,-spring from seed of barely enough vitality to get the plant above the ground. Seed that will grow fairly Well when conditions are favor­ able a t seeding time will rot in cold, damp weather to prevail. If possible use only such seed as has large, bright looking germs. Wrink­ led and dull-colored germs have likely been injured by freezing. Plumpness a t the tip is an evidence of vitality. Thin', skruken kernels having sharp pointed' tips should be rejected, as well as those having an excess of soft,' white starch a t either crown or tip. The Station hopes tha t its sugges­ tions given last fall have been followed by the corn growers of the stale and that all have sdpplieil themselves with the best seed corn obtainable and have taken good care of it.
