Not a tingle, solitary ear. of seed corn should go into McHenry county soil until it has been properly tested for germinating power. This warning comes from E.( B. Heaton, general manager of the National Seed Corn Show to be held in Chicago March 2 to 7. Writing to the county agricultural agent and county superintendent of schools, Mr. Heaton states that tests on early entries to the show point to the fact that less than half the ears received to date are not fit for seeding purposes. Normally 82 per cent of the Illinois corn crop is merchantable, but only 70 per cent of last year's crop is of merchantable quality. It is the seriousness of the situation in which the country is finding itself and in the hope of bringing home to corn growers of the nation the need for careful testing and selection of ears this spring to insure a normal 1925 crop that $17,00Q in prizes is being offered by the Sears-Ro.ebuck Agricultural Foundation, according to Mr. Heaton. In addition to a five-dollar prize to the farmer in the county showing the best ear, the M. Kittle trophy of a thousand dollars will be awarded to the grower of the best ear of seed sent to the show and another thousand dollars will go to the county agent, farm bureau, agricultural or community organization of the county sending the largest number of entries. Any person may enter ah ear of corn, according to Mr. Heaton, and the name, address, county and state of its owner should be on paper wrapped around the ear with the writing on the outside. No entry will be eligible if mailed after March 1, and no prizes will be awarded until after the winning ears^have been tested for vitality and disease resistence. The judges of the Show are to be selected by the American Society of Agronomy, and entries should be addressed to the National Seed Corn Show, Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation, Chicago.
