Jasper County Democrat, Volume 20, Number 12, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 May 1917 — TEST BARLEY. [ARTICLE]

TEST BARLEY.

[National Crop Improvement Service.] All seed barley should be tested for vitality before sowing as the seed is quite frequently injured by heating in the stack or bin. If the seed is of low vitality and does not test 90 per cent it should be regarded as inferior and new seed should be purchased.
