SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

LARGE PERCENTAGE OF STERILE CORN CAUSES SEED IEST ' General reports that corn which Is being tested shows a high percentage of dead or weak kernels, are inspiring farmers of this section of Indiana to test their corn and make sure of possibility of grpwth in time for spring planting. Owing to the favorable season last year, there had been till now, an impression that there would be little corn thrown out in tests, as it had plenty of time to ripen and dry, and there has not been much severe cold to weaken even corn stored in exposed places. Much to the surprise, however, of those careful ones who decided to make assurance doubly sure by tests, more than the average of corn has been found to be incapable of growth, end farmers who had not intended this year to test, or those who have never tested, are this year testing for germination in order that no work may be wasted on ground which is occupied by weak or barren 6talks, or no stalks at all. President Davis of the Wayne county farm bureau, was the first to report in this county that corn tests were turning out unfavorably, and give warning of the necessity of testing. His reports stimulated others to run tests, and, though percentages of nonviable see vary, all are finding that testing is a wise move, either by discovering the weak ears, or in rare cases, proving that there are no weak ears, and allaying disturbing doubts. Supervises Test. Rush county, which makes a practise of running germination tests as a county activity, the tests being supervised by the county agent, was the first county to report poor corn. The Rushville Republican says: "Seed corn being tested in the county agent's office is averaging from five to 40 per cent bad. The county agent has tested to date 80 bushels of corn most of the corn discarded is thrown out because of disease although much is found to be weak and showing poor qualities which would make planting unprofitable." Charles Robinson, county agent of Fayette county, says: "No reports of very discouraging tests have -ome in to this office, but we are not very well organized yet. I know that many ears were thrown out at corn shows because of poor vitality, and I would not care to state that seed orn this year Is strong." Germination Lacking. Union county reports, through the agent, Foster Campbell, that no figures are available there on tests, but that there is a general impression that corn this year is lacking in germination. Randolph county, Roscoe Fields, agent, has conducted tests in the office and farm tests, supervised by the agent, which show an average of 20 per cent of the corn dead or weak or diseased. This average is the same, also for private tests reported by farmers of the county. The number of dead, weak or diseased ears which have been thrown out by Theodore Davis of Greensfork in his tests runs as high as 40 per cent, which is the maximum reported by Rush county. Other reports are not so high, but all are finding enough bad ears to make testing worth while. I Farm Sale Calendar I . ; Saturday, March 12 B. F.

IND FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1921.

Director Mumford of the Missouri agricultural station, feels it his duty to. call attention to the serious situation confronting the state agricultural stations of the entire country. For lack of adequate financing more than fifty per cent of the directors of these stations have resigned during the past five years. Among 1,700 workers at these stations there were 1,400 changes in the same period. "The situation Is very critical and is not being met satisfactorily bv state annronri- ! ations." This is indeed a serious matter. The need for the best efforts of these helpful institutions was never more apparent than today. The supply of bread and meats largely depends on the results discovered by the bureau of agriculture and on. the work done at the state colleges. It is claimed that "only one per cent of the federal revenues were expended for research, education and development In 1920." Nor do the various college authorities feel that the states have all done their full duty in this regard. Be that as, it may, we are assured that there remains much to be learned, and that a thousand pests to crops remain to be destroyed. The betterment of agricultural conditions the country over depends so largely on what is accomplished by the field workers from Washington by the state colleges and by all research men that we cannot afford to cut down the number of workers, nor to reduce their facilities for experimental effort. Certified Field Seeds. The Missouri corn growers' association have issued a price list on about 10.000 bushels of tested and certified field seeds. There are 6,790 bushels of seed corn on which the average price is placed at $4. Their price on soy beans is $6, on red clover $12, 17

This is a case where the purest and best seeds are cheapest and the most profitable to plant, regardless of cost. Farmers Must Pay Cash. Every farmer has seen a world of advertising, flaunting in large letters the catch line, "Send No Money." But the Federated Marketing Service of Indiana are not fixed to do business that way. They operate on a strictly cash basis to take advantage of every possible price inducement and discount. Should the pooled order of any township or county marketing committee be sent to the state marketing service. President Brown of the federation instructs that "a letter or credit from a bank must accompany it before it will be honored." This rule is absolutely necessary in the circumstances, because neither the county or state marketing committees have either credit or standing with the concerns from whom they are to buy. The buyers are not in business, have no financial rating, and may only hold office during the year for which elected or appointed. So, then, when a pool is made up the cash must be paid in.
