“Under these circumstances, testing each ear is simply good insurance. One ear of corn will produce about five bushels—if all the grains grow. With corn at 60 cents a bushel, planting a dead ear or an ear that will produce only weak unproductive stalks, means a loss of $3. If you catch only one bad ear, your testing has paid you a good day’s w r ages. If you catch the average number, you’ve saved a week's pay in a winter afternoon.” POSTPONED PUBLIC SALE.
