A'Ve will assume that the six kernels from ear No. i all showed strong root and steiu sprouts. That is, the stem sprout was of good length and large in diameter. A lung, slentler siekly stem sprout in- dicates weakness. In other words, ear No. i is a vital seed ear. Move to ear No. 2. The kernels in square No. 2 show five healthy sprouts, but the sixth is small and has quit growing. This is not a first-cIass ear for seed. If you have much more seed than you will use, then push this ear back until one-half or three-quarters of its length extends back of the line of ears. By this action, you mean to throw this ear out entirely and not plant a single kernel from such an unreliable source. But do not take the ear out immediately because the arrangement of the row of ears would be altered and confusion would result. On the other hand, should the supply of seed.
