GOOD sEED--EARLY WHEAT.

NCC1 PifbD GhNlii W itIJ a l.
"What you sow, that you also reap"
is as true in agriculture as in morals. 1t
was once thought, and sustained by high
authority, that imperfcctly ripened wheat,
if it would germinate, was as good as any
for seed-and even recommended as better
than good, plump kernels, as more seeds
were contained in bushel. Experience
proves this nation fallacious. We may as
wei. expect full-sized Morgan horse from
a Spanish jackass, as a good crop Of wheat
from imperfect seed. TO produce tie best
zoe must propagate from the best.
In England, the faamers take the
sheavc, and whip them gently over stone,
when the best and earliest kernels will fall
out, which they take for seed. A better
method is to 90 through the field and Sc
lect the earliest ripened heads for seed,
which will soon porduce an earlier variety
than the origional stock. Such seed will
also produce crop free from smut. Sow
ing poor, half.ripened; imperfect seed, is
sowing smut and disappointment. 1t
might seem that it would be an endles task
to gather enough early heads for seed,
but it requires but two or three years to
change the variety, and have seed enough
and to spare.
A wheat known in Scotland as the
Hopetown wheat, and deemed an exec llent
and prolific variety, owes its origin to an
accidental circumstance, an observing
farmer having remarked a very superior
ear, from which he picked out ninety nine
kernels, and from their product come this
celebrated variety.
To show the rapidity with which such
seed may multiply, we give an instance:-
A farmer in Cambridgeshire, England, in
1910, gathered eighteen very fine ears, the
pr oeeeds of which filled a common wine
glass. The seeds he planted the following
antumn, and produced one peck. This
was planted the following autumn, and
produced seven bushels and one peck, and
this produced one hundred and eight BUSH
els and two pecks, which was planted in
ls43, and produced one thousand eight
hundred and sixty.eight bushels. This
was the Increase of eighteen heads of
wheat in four years.
Another farmer planted thirty kernels
in 1889, which produced fourteen and
three ounces; this was sown, and
produced one bushel and one peck this
produced forty-fve bushels; and this, in
ls4l, produced five hundred and thirty
seven bushels.
1t will thus be seen that the task Of
gathering the earliest ripened heads, and
thus producing an earlier variety, is rot
great; and farmers will be well paid for
their trouble They will get variety
that can be sowed late enough to escape
the fly, and that will still ripen early c.
nough to escape the rust. Try it and
give US the result.-Ohio Farnser.
