How to Got Good Seed.

W. N. UOuuV WTlttS lTOm LluCoiu,
Neb., saying: 81 notice in the papers
that the farmers around Abilene are
engaged in a movement toward the
importation from Russia Of seed
wheat for the next falls sowing. 1t
seems that there is o movement to-
ward the importation Of fresh seed SO
that the Kansas farmer may begin
again where he began years ago when
he first got seed from Russia.
Nov all experiments demonstrate
that grains are improved by careful
and persistent selection Of the grain
to be planted; and that a continued
sowing OF unsolicited seed is sure to
be followed by persistent deteriora'
ton Of the quality and decrease Of
the quantity oithe crop grown. When
the farmer finds that his crop has
beengrowing less and that its quality
has become lowered be says his seed
has run out. This is but another
way Of saying that the natural ten
dency toward degeneracy has been
permitted to prevail.
"All careful and scientific expert
mentors know that the tendency to-
ward degeneracy, inherent in all
plants, is overcome in two ways
namely, first, the persistent selection
of the highest quality Of seed, and,
second, by cultivation Of the crop.
This movement by the Kansas farm
ers and millers toward improvement
is both opportune and to their credit;
it shows that the farmers are on the
lookout for means Of lettering the
crops and that they are disposed to
apply scientific principles to agricul-
tural practice. This is the fruit Of
the agricultural education as carried
on by the agricultural colleges and
through agricultural societies.
"Allow me to suggest that the Kan
sas farmer would not 60 to Russia
and pay from e to 50 per bushel for
an unacclimated seed OF doubtful pc.
tency II knew that he had in his own |
bin grain that is in every respect
equal to that which he intends to i'm
port at great expense from Russia.
II the farmer will take up q handful
Of an average quality Of wheat from
his bin and carefully examine it he
will find a considerable quantity Of
very superior grain there. This
grain is good; it is pure; it is accli-
mated and he can get it all out and
have it for seed. Does any one
doubt that the selection of this, the
very largest and heaviest grains, and
the SOW of them year after year
would work wonders in the improve
ment Of his CROP But while he has
done this always with his corn and
with good results, too, it has not been
possible for him to do SO any great
extent with his wheat. So the only
course apparently open to him has
been the renewal his seed from some
foreign country.
at is not necessary for him to go
abroad for pure seed of the very high
est quality; but he can, by what is
known as Gray's method of selection,
provide for himself an unlimited
quantity of seed from his own bin
