What reading level is The Testing of Corn for Seed book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The actual time used in testing several lots of corn by this method is shown in Table 2.
TESTING WITH Box AND CLOTH.
One of the quickest and most convenient devices for making germi- nation tests is that commonly known as the Geneva Tester, so called because it was first used by Professor Goff at the Geneva Station in New York. (Plate 5. ) This apparatus consists of a water-tight box across which are extended folds of canton flannel. These folds are sus- pended from wires, as shown in Plate 5, ...and can be removed to dry when not in use. The box must be filled to the depth of about an inch with water, so that the folds of canton flannel will hang down enough to touch the water, and thus be moistened by capillarity. The box should be about 12 by 24 inches and 4 or 5 inches deep. It may be made of wood, galvanized iron, tin, or copper, and the wires can be cut from ordinary smooth galvanized fence wire. When kernels of corn are to be tested in this germinating apparatus, they are removed from the ears as described above, placed between the folds, in regular order (Plate 5) and the folds closed together.
