~ NE of the most important fac
"a tors in crop production Is the
selection of seed. This is i'm
portant not only in producing
a large yield, but also in obtaining
product of the highest quality.
The use of the tanning mill as
means of sorting out the heaviest,
plumpest grains was spoken of In the
previous article. The Importance of
this means of seed selection cannot be
too greatly emphasized.
One of the principal reasons for Sc
lecting the largest grains for seed Is
that they contain so much more food
for the young plant. This enables 1t
to make strong, vigorous start.
such plants have more vitality, grow
faster and produce larger yields than
plants from shrivcled seeds, which
have a struggle for existence from
the time they terminate. Another
reason for selecting plump seed is
that the resulting crop is likely to be
of better quality and will thus bring
higher price when sold. The old
law of like produces like" applies to
plants as we'll as to animals. One of
the surest ways Of bringing about i'm
provement is by using parents of the
desired type year after year.
Selecting seed according to size by
screening out the small grains is not
