The results are this, that 35 per cent of the corn tested will not grow. Now, can you afford to plant corn that will not germinate more than 65 per cent? Now, on part of these individual tests there was not a single grain germinated from io fars of corn. Can you tell the slackers from the loyal ears pf corn without the germination tests? I should say not. This year is an unusual year for seed corn, The early freeze caught the corn when there @as a great deal of sap-still in the ear, thereby killing the germ of the kernel. Now farm- ers, this is the time to eliminate the slacker, and don’t be a slacker your- self. Either give your seed corn the germination test or bring your corn to the Poage building, southeast cor- ner of the square, and don't be a slacker.
