To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" The quantity of seed corn selected from the field should always be considerably more than will be needed for planting, so that there may be room for further and more critical selection later on. If the quantity of seed ears selected before the general husking is insufficient, it is a good plan to have a small box attached to the out- side of the wagon box into which desirable seed ears found while husking can be put." When you buy seed corn, get it on the ear and from a place in your same lat...itude, and an early variety. All seed corn should be tested before planting. The importance of this is seen when we consider that gen- erally farmers do not get more than an average of 75 per cent, of a stand of corn, when the average should not be less than 95 per cent. After corn has once been planted it is generally too late to replant the entire field if the stand is poor, and I have never known replanted corn in missing hills to make anything more than fodder. The method of testing seed as given by the Purdue University Agricultural Experiment Station is as follows : " There are many simple methods of making the germination test, but in all cases each ear should be tested by itself.
