Much of the seed corn With the usual favorable appear- ance of soundness and vitality has liteless or weak beed germs. Superinfefident Bishop suggested to su- perintendénts and principals that they ar- range to have thelr class in agriculture, normal tralning class or other rellable puplls, comstruct a ‘home-made seed corn testor and advertise that they will test free of charge mot to exceed a bushel of seed corn for any farmer who .will bring in his corn for that purpose, the corn to be care- fully and accurately tested, each ear sepa- rately, & definite report to be made and every ert returnied to the owner. The letter Was accompanied by a bulletin on “How to Test Seed Corn.” It tells stu- dents how to prepare a germination box, gives detalled instructions as to the test- ing of each seed eat, and has a blank re- port fo rthe student to flll cut present to the farmer whose seed corn they test. This report. shows the exact condition of each ear tested.

The letters were sent out Saturday and since Monday morning orders have been Ppo in for additional coples of the bul- Tt the use-0f.1 -and - paphs-tn tural classes. BSo great has been the demand for the bulletin that a second edition has been ordered.
