FIG. 17. The Rag Doll Tester. Lay out the corn to be tested on the table. The cloth should be dip- 

 ped in warm water and spread as shown. Straighten out the kernels with their points all toward one side 

 of the cloth, and the germ side up. The tester should be put in the pail with the points of the kernels down. 



FIG. 18. Rolling up the Tester. After the squares have all been filled, roll up the tester, tie a string or put 

 a rubber band around the center just tight enough to hold the kernels in place.
