SEED WHEAT.

GRADE Generally OSeo NO. Op 70 tne
Standard.
That the grade Of seed wheat gen
orally used is not up to the standard
was a~scertained in an investigation by
G. w. Shaw of the California station,
who secured a large lumber of sam
pies Of seed wheat over a wide area IN
the Sacramento and San Joaquin va.
leys of California to determine the
general character Of the seed used by
the farmers Of the state. In general
the samples showed that the quality
of seed used by most farmers is lack
ing in purity. perfection Of develop.
ment. weight per bushel. freedom from
weeds and freedom from hunt. 1t is
stated that practically all investiga-
tors have found the use OF large,
plump seed and of a high weight per
bushel the most profitable. No perma-
nent benefit is believed to De secured
from the frequent exchange of seed
unless a better type Of wheat or a
more vigorous strain of the same type
is obtained by the exchange. The use
Of seed from heavy yielding plants. Il
plump and heavy grain, a clean wheat
and a pure variety are considered by
him the most important points in seed
selection.
In this connection the results Secur-
ed by r. G. Montgomery Of the Ne
hraska station in an experiment with
seed wheat and seed oats selected by
the use Of the tanning mill are of in
terest. In these experiments heavy
seed wheat as separated by the fan
ming mill ia net show an improve
ment in either yield or quality of grain
rs compared with light or unSeparated
seed. and it is believed that no perma-
men Improvement in quality or yield
is to be expected from the use Of the
tanning mill in Seed selection.
At first thought it would seem that
il like produces like the large or
! crop. However, we must recognize the
individual plant as a unit for selection
rather than the individual seed. If a
single plant Of wheat be taken and the
kernels thrashed out it will be found
that all sizes of kernels are produced
by the plant, some large and some
small.
AS every wheat plant contains both
heavy and light seed, the tanning mill
gives almost the same kind of wheat.
SO far as inheritance Is concerned, in
the light wheat as In the heavy. 1t
must be remembered that reference is
made here to the permanent results
which may be expected from the use
Of the tanning mill and that its use or

To destroy weeyils working in wheat

Breeding Good Horses.

bred should have a good thoroughbred

they make the best fire engine horses.
