do not think is sufficient alone to ac-
complish all we want My plan is to
first select the best heads, shell and
then grade them, throwing away all the
small seeds. Sow this selected seed
and do not allow a weed to grow with
it. Repeat the selecting process and
continue to do so. In this way we not
only retain great yields but combine
with these the improved quality. This
process involves some labor, but it Is q
labor that will be well repaid"
