Testing Seed Grain Ontario farmers are being advised by the Ontario Dept. of Agriculture to test all seed for germination be- fore planting this year. With farm help scarce, every acre tilled should b« made to produce more bushels per acre. Farmers can test seed at home and there is no time like the present. Any method which keeps seed moist and at average room temper- ature for six to ten days should re- sult in satisfactory germination, says Dr. G- P- McRostie, Field Husbandry Dept. O. A. C. Guelph. He states a fi];e inch or larger flower pot makes a suitable container. This can be filled about three-quar- ters full p^ither sand or loamy ear^ which sMwRlrbe firmed down. Scat- ter the seeds to be tested over the top of the soil, Pack firmly and keep moist but not wet. Set in some suit- able place not too near the stove oi window. Count the germinated SeeSs at the end of six days and again at tj\e end of ten days. The total number of the 100 seeds which produce sprouts will be the percentap^mrmination. Any sprouts whiclivi*e weak and sickly looking shonid be discarded and not included in the final percent germ- ination as they would not likely pro- duce healthy plants. If the germination is about 85 per- cent the seed should be quite satisfac- tory to plant at the regular rates of seeding. If it is between 60 and 86 percent, the rate of seeding, should be increas- ed in proportion to the percent of kernels that do not grrow. If germination is below 60 per cent, it would seem advisable to secure other seed for planting. If this is im- possible the . rate of seeding would have to be increased as previously suggested, states Dr. McRostie.
