The seeds were all secured from seed corn being used as seed by the farmers. How much is Texas losing each year by planting inferior untested seed? Courtesy of Professor P. G. Holclen. ears only the farmers would have added to their yield on the average bushels per acre, or more than double what they would have made by planting the six poorest-yielding ears. Professor Holden also tested 102 ears of the selected seed-corn at the station, and these fine-looking ears varied in yielding power all the way from bushels from ear No. 75 to 36 bushels from ear No. 93. Ear No. 19 gave 79 barren stalks, while ear No. 83 gave only 6; ear No. 54 had 258.
