Seed corn testing and selection methods touted by Prof Holden
The article emphasizes selecting viable seed by testing ears directly, noting that live kernels germinate while dead ones fail. It describes a tied sampling method, using a two by three foot box with grid squares, moistened sand, and careful placement of kernels to observe germination in three to five days. It urges buying home grown or northern seed and planting in the ear.
