Hcrcdfty In Plants.

The general principles Of heredity
formulated by Mendel give much prom
ise in the way of crop Improvement
through more systematic methods of
breeding. 1t is believed by many biol
oglsts, says Harper's Magazine, that
Mendel's law offers in part a solution
TO some of the perplexing problems in
plant and animal Improvement 1t is
too early, however, to predict what
benefits can reasonably be expected
from its application. This law at
tempts to reduce TO a mathematical ba-
sis the characteristic of the progeny
OF plants and animals: certain per-
centage having the individual charac-
terlstlcs of each parent, and GER
tain percentage the blended character
lstlcs OF both parents. 1t is not too
much to expect that the proposed law,
with notifications, will do much to
place the science of plant breeding
upon rational basis.
III the case of corn. careful selec-,
tons of seed has resulted in the pro-
ductIon of plants which have a tenden-
cy TO produce an additional ear, there
by increasing the yield 10 to % per
cent. Also ears of larger size and
more uniform character are secured
by breeding and selecting the seed corn.
One of the best examples of the i'm
provement of crop by selection and
breeding is the sugar beet, which has
been developed from the common stock
OF garden beets that contain only a
small amount of saccharine material
and are unsuitable for the manufac-
lure OF sugar, until high-grade beets
containing Is to IS per cent of sugar
are secured

and kinds of foods used are all impor-
tant factors to be considered. So far
as the denial of the utility of public
tests is concerned the fact remains that
they serve as lights in the direction of
which all must steer. 1t signifies moth
ing that the product Of the COW may
apparently exceed the nutritive value
of the food consumed, but the figures
point unerringly to the possible realiza-
ton of the objects sought. and, though
the hlgh-pressure public tests may be
of the kind not approved of by the
farmer, yet they open up to him a wide
field for reflection. and teach him that,
while he may not hope to equal such,
yet he must also test his stock. if he is
to succeed, without regard TO capacity.
