That's advice from Secretary C. R. Porter of the Nebraska Crop Improvement Association. He points out that wheat qual ity particularly In the eastern third of Nebraska is not good. Many of the kernels are badly shriveled and will have weak germination. Some of the kern els are dead. Wheat scab and other " dis eases have been serious, and Mr. Porter says many kernels are infected with foreign or ganisms. If the seed is not treated, he emphasizes, many of the kern els will mold in the soil instead of germinating. He says this condition of kernels now is showing ud in the Nebraska CroD Improvement Association's seed laboratory where germin ation tests are being conducted. Mr. Porter says that wheat used for seed purposes should test 80 Oper cent germination or better. While cleaning and treating are always profitable for small grain, he says, it will pay un usually high dividends this year.
