options he has secured.

less than $35O,OOO, and he has arranged
for the money, but the option expires
on the first prox, "a date that is getting

work is being pushed as rapidly as
possible. -

grown from the seed of one scotsman.
Many of the hills from this strain Of
Rockyford seed remained green
throughout the season and produced
a good crop of melons. Further obser-
vations in the muskmelon fields of
that neighborhood also showed that
wherever this strain of Rockyford seed
had been used many hills were unaf-
fected with rust, while with other
strains of seed of the same variety
the vines were all dead.
The investigator selected a quantity
of seed from the rust-resistant hills
and planted them in comparison with
ordinary seed. "On the rust-resisting
hills the melons were hidden under a
healthy growth of vines, and were
large, solidly netted, with thick, firm
flesh small seed cavity completely
filled with seed. On the rusted hills
the plants were almost devoid of leaves
and the small melons were premature
ly ripe, with thin, watery flesh. open,
large seed cavity, and practically OF
no market value"
In tracing back the history of this
strain of seed it was found that some
years before a scotsman had saved the
first lot from a single healthy melon
taken from a field of rusted vines. 1t
had therefore been developed by the
simple process of saving seed from
the best melons produced by plants
which withstood attacks of rust when
surrounding plants were destroyed by
this disease. What was thus accom-
plished by one farmer with one crop
can probably be accomplished by other
farmers with the same or with other
crops, if they will be alert, while the
crops are growing, to select and mark
individual plants which show eXcep-
tional merit along the lines of pro-
life yield. early maturity. resistance to
disease. or other desirable quality, and
save seed separately from the plant
showing such qualities. Marked va
riations which may be prOftably util-
lied in this way are constantly occur
ring and are plainly evident on all
farms.
The point to be emphasized is that
improvements in farm crop varieties
nearly always trace back to individual
plants. No one is in better position
to notice these exceptional plants than
the farmer. He is in his fields, gar
den, or orchard, every day, where these
exceptional plants are produced. If
one plant in a rust-infected wheat
field stands up green and free from
the disease, that is a plant to save
seed from as the basis of a rust-re-
sistant strain. If one hill of pota.
toes in a blighted field remains unaf-
fected by disease. seed from that hill
may produce a blight-resistant variety.
If a squash phnt is found that is dis
tasteful to the squash bug, seed from
that hill may produce squash vines
which the bugs will not molest.
The important fact is that some
plants are much more resistant to dis
ease and insect attacks than others.
1t is a question of seeing the resistant

hard to handle. None is so arrogant
as to profess Indifferent to their at

expected. not the less dreaded, espe-
cially the blights and the rots and the

Some instances may be cited to show
just what is meant By resistant or i'm
mune varieties and their value. Grapes
furnish a striking example. Euro
pean grapes planted in this country
fail wherever the American grape-rOOt
louise is present, because the louise is
able to attack and destroy the roots
of these varieties. The roots of ma
tive American grapes are also attacked
by the same louise, but are so hard and
wiry that the louise can not destroy
them In other words they are re
sistant.

sible to grow this pear in the South

ties fail because of blight The va
riety OF cowpea known as Little Iron
has proved so resistant to wilt disease
that in some fields it has survived

Some varieties of the same plan

few show merit, most Of them hav'
not measured up to the claims made
