Interesting Account of LIBERALIZATION
Work. Resulting in
Improved Seed.

Wheat growing has always been
and will probably continue TO be for
years to come. the leading agricult-
nral industry of eastern Washington.
This being the case, the necessity for
maintaining and improving the stand
ard as a wheat producing section Is
at once apparent. The varieties
grown here are OF such peculiar char
acter that they have attained and held
a place of their own in the worlds
markets and this in competition with
other countries which have become
prominent as producers The area
in the Pacific northwest devoted to
wheat production has been largely eX-
tended during recent years. Most Of
this area embraces lands in the semi
arid zones where wheat growing was
formerly considered impossible 1t
has been found that many of the older
varieties depended on We're not well
adapted to these new lands and the
necessity of discovering other
varieties or developing newer and
harder ones became Imperative
Varieties, too, which had been promi-
nent in the Palouse and other sec
tons began 10 show deterioration due
10 different causes. chief among which
was the indiscriminate use of spring
varieties for fall seeding. One tend
ency among Washington wheat is to
become softer and to overcome this
undesirable quality requires constant
effort and improvement. 1t has been
the history of every wheat producing
country that the yield has steadily
declined after the first few years dur
ing which maximum yields were OBJ
tanned. This reduction has been
usually attributed TO loss of fertility
but ii has always been marked by a
falling off in quality Of the grain and
the consequent loss of standing in
markets. While proper methods of
soil management would have main
tanned fertility. the yield and quality
should also have been kept up by fol-
lowing rigid methods of seed selection
and Improvement. The farmers of
Washington can we'll take warning
from the experiences of other coun-
tries and join with the state expert

the prominence as wheat grow II )

The value of Washington wheat
has been greatly deprecated in the
markets by failure to pay attention
10 the many details which together
set the standards for quality. The
grain goes directly into the sack from
the threshers and is passed on to the
miller or exporter exactly in the same
condition in which it was threshed.

The total number Of bearing an-
