 THE GERMINATION OE SEED CORN 



Six grains of corn are taken from each ear and wrapped in rags, which are then mois- 

 tened and set away for germination. After the grains have had time to sprout, the rags are 

 opened and the seeds examined. Some ears yield no sprouting grains; others yield grains 

 that sprout weakly; still others yield grains with a "batting average of 1,000 per cent." These 

 are the ones which produce good corn crops.
