282 SELECTING SEED CORN 



fifty or one hundred squares on a sheet of muslin large 

 enough to cover the table, numbering the squares from 

 one up. On each square place three or four kernels of 

 corn from ears which are numbered with tickets to cor- 

 respond with the squares. Cover the whole batch on 

 the table with a cloth pad or several sheets of muslin and 

 keep moist until germination is completed. The table 

 should stand in a warm room.
