Grain sorghums like a warm soil, and seeding of this crop should not be done too early in the spring. Ten days or two weeks after corn-planting time is the best date. If sowing is done too late, however, early fall "ro ;ts may catch the crop before it matures. Thick stands yield better in favorable seasons, but in dry seasons thins stands are best. Cultivation should be begun early and repeated often enough to destroy all weeds. In testing individual ears of seed corn for germination it is advisable to take not less than six kernels; 2 from near the butt, 2 from near the tip, and 2 from the middle. Each pair of kernels should be taken from op posite rows, the rows being about one-third of the circumference of the ear apart. This method gives a good test of any individual ear. If any of the kernels fail to gehninate, or if the germina tion is weak, produces inferior sprouts, or is very slow, the ear should be discarded.
