Hard Seed in Legumes
Do Not Cause Poor Stands
Seeds which do not germinate
are not necessarily dead seeds.
Some go through a period of
dormancy which may extend from
the time of ripening for a few
weeks or many months. |
A common knd of dormancy
with cultivated leguminous crops
is that of “‘hard seed.”” Hard seeds
are those not capable of absorbing
water, Since both oxygen and wa
ter are required for germination,
hard seeds do not germinate
geadily.
Various factors influence the per
eentage of hard seed in a given lot
of leguminous seeds. The variety,
stage of maturity, weather or some
other factor may affect it.
The occurrence of dormancy of
seeds in nature is more widespread
than usually realized. It is found
in many of our native plants and
weeds and is an obvious advantage,
which may preserve viability until
a season favorable for the develop
ment of the plant, where that does
not coincide with the time of ripen
ing of the seed.
A considerable portion (but not
nscessarily all) of the hard seeds
in a sample will germinate in the
late winter if sown while freez
ing and thawing are still taking
place, so that seed which contains
a high proportion of hard seeds
may be sown earlier than permea
ble seeds. This is considered in
sowing sweet clover.
Seed with a high proportion of
hard seeds Is often ‘‘scarified.”’
bpecial scarifying machines for
blowing the seed at a high rate
of speed over coarse sandpaper,
or passing it between rapidly re
volving steel disks, have been de
veloped for this purpose. The seed
coats are thus scratched sufficient
ly to admit water and permit ger
mination. Scarified seed loses vi
tality rapidly, so scarifying seed
is not recommended wunless the
seed is to be sown soon.
Buyers of seeds often ask about
the germination and hard seed per
centages appearinihon test tags.
Though it is true t hard seeds
may not sprout soon after sow
ing, it i 8 also true that they are
seldom a cause for unsatistactory
stands, |
In sowing aifalfe at 10 pounds
per acre, more than 2,000,000
1. ‘““Hard’’ seeds are those which
have seed coats that do not
absorb water, therefore, are
not likely to germinate imme
diately after sowing.
2. The best ripened seed con
tains the most hard seed.
3. The percentage of hard seed
in a lot may increase with
reduction in moisture content.
4. Fifty per cent of the hard seed
of some kinds such as alfalfa
usually germinates within 2
weeks.
5. One advantage of hard seed is
that it does net all grow at the
same time.
6. Hard seeds furnish insurance
in getting stands.
7. Commercial seed contains
less hard seed than seed
when harvested because of
scarifying effect of hulling
and cleaning.
8. Scratching or scarifying” seed
by machinery increases ger
mination but unless carefully
done injures many seeds.
9. Scarifying is not recommend
ed unless seed is to be sown
soon.
seeds are sown or approximately 50
seeds per square foot. An equal
seeding of red clover will place
about 75 seeds per square foot.
In both cases this is much more
than needed to obtain a good stand.
State Agricultural Experiment
Stations recognize that hard seeds
are not detrimental to obtaining
stands as shown by the following
comments:
From Oregon: ‘““We do not re
gard hard seed as a handicap of
any kind. In*most cases it i{s an
advantage to have hard seed be
cause it furnishes what amounts
to insurance in getting stands. Un
der field conditions many es the
seeds which grade as hard in the
laboratory germinate gather
promptly.”’
From Jowa: “Hard seeds msual
ly germinate soon enough after
planting in the field to justify their
inclusion with readily germinable
seeds in determining rates of seed

"Russell Special”
Convention City
ATLANTA — (AP) — Waving
placards and Confederate flags, a
large delegation of Georgians
headed for Chicago Saturday to
do battle for Sen. Richard Russell
in his campaign for the Democra

The “Dick Russell Special”
pulled out of Atlanta shortly after
moon carrying about 175 stnauch
Russell supporters. Included in the
high-spirited group were Georgia’s
slate of 36 delegates and 36 alter
nates, several of Georgia’s con
gressmen, other top state politi
cians and a good-sized unofficial
cheering section.
Predictions of a Russell victory
in the nominating flight flew thick
and fast.

Cover Happenings At Demo Confab
By HAL BOYLE
HOMETOWN, U. S. (AP) —
Wilbur Peeble, America’s average
man, came home from work to
find his wMe furiously tossing
clothing into a suitcase,
“Now, what have I done
wrong?” asked Wilbur, surprised.
“Noting, silly.”
“What are you packing for
then?”
“An old school friend of mine
who lives in Chicago has invited
me to go out there and attend the
Democratic national convention,”
said Trellis Mae. “And I'm going.”
“What do you know about pol
itics?” jeered Wilbur.
“I know as much as the average
Democrat does at this moment.”
replied his wife.
“A woman'’s place is in—" began
Wilber.
“Is in Chicago,” finished Trellis
Mae. “Maybe those Democrats
could use a few feminine sugges
tions on budget balancing.”
There was a don't -you-argue
with-me-anymore look on her face,
so Wilbur kept silent. A few deft
movements later she had finished
packing, and Wilbur drove her out
to the airport.
Trellis Mae kissed him goodbye
and said, "your clean suits are in
the closet, there’s some food in
the icebox, and be a good boy and
Convention Sidelights
stay out of trouble and—"
“Write me every day,” said Wil
bur, “and don’t talk to any strange
men.”
“I won’t—l will,” said Trellis
Mae. “I mean I will—and I won’t.”
As she started to board the plant
Wilbur called, “Does your woman
ly intuition tell you who the Dem
ocrats are going to nominate?”
“Not yet,” said Trellis Mae gaily.
“But Bryan's chances are getting
beter every day.”
EDITOR'S NOTE: Trellis

Aquatic Stars
Nude Pictures
Found In Locker
DAYTONA BEACH July 19 —
(AP) — Olympic and national
AAU swimming stars were among
the women secrety photographed
through a two-way mirror at the
municipal swimming pool here,
investigators were told Friday.
Assistant City Manager Hewitt
Edmondson testified that about
130 photographs showing women
in various stages of undress were
found in a locked closet.
A two-way mirror in the wo
men’s dressing room backed up to
the closet so that a person inside
could look through into the dress
ing room. Some of those photo
graphed were aquatic stars now
on the Olympic team, said Ed
mondson.
James D. Young, city aquatic
director, was dismissed on grounds
that he “photographed or per
mitted the photographs” to be
taken. Young, prominent in the
national AAU, was dismissed July
9.
Leroy Harlow, city manager who
questioned Young, said most of the
pictures were taken in a 1-Gay
period during a AAU meet. The
1951 and 1950 AAU women’s out
door swimming and diving cham
pionships were held here.
Young told city officials he did
not take the photos or permit them
to_be taken, but that he destroyed
the negatives and locked up the
prints. He declined to identify the
photographer.
