IMPORTANCE GOOD
SEED GRAIN IS GREAT

The farmers Of Minnesota and the
Dak0ta3 suffer tremendous loss
each year because Of poor seed
Light, shrunkon or weak seed Of
any kind should never be sOWn. In
the search for the cause Of the de.
teri0ratiOn in our car crop which
has been 50 very marked during the
| past two seasons, the scientific agri-
culturists have come to the conclu-
sion that the best they can do is to
advise farmers to select better seed.
They believe that poor seed has
been used so long that when ad-
verse conditions present themselves
the oat crop is unable to Withstand
them.
The best and only safe varieties
OF seed for the farmer are those
that have already proved them
selves adapted to his locality, or
some other locality having like con-
djtions Of soil and climate.
Continuous growth Of grain on the
same kind Of soil on under like eli
matte conditions does not cause de-
generation but on the contrary, if
proper care is taken in culture and
seed selection and the seed be kept
IpuTe, grain grown for q long term
Of years in any given locality should
become, with each added year, bet
ter adapted to the conditions pecu-
liar to that locality. A change OF
seed from one locality to another
often results in serious loss, as it
sometimes takes several years tc
overcome & seemingly slight change
in environment. Importation OF
seed from q distance should be re.
sorted to only when it is impossible
to obtain Suitable seed near home
OF when some new variety is t
be tested, which latter should al
ways be done on q small scale a
first.
Weed seeds and smut are carried
