NMALb grain breeding Is second
only To corn breeding I'm impor-
toncc. Indeed. there IL eVon
moro chance for improvement
along this limo, since so littlc has been
done already. The average yield OF
oats I'm Iowa I'm 1908 was only twenty
three bushels 10 tho acre. whllo many
fields yielded three times that much.
This Is only ono instance out OF many
that could DO given TO show the great
need for improved seed.
With small grain, ms with corn. the
work OF Improvement must largely bo
done for each special locality. Each
type OF soil and climate affects the
crops I'm "A different way. and varieties
that yield well In ono part OF tho coun.
try may fail utterly under different
conditions. This makes it necessary
Tor each locality TO have It's small
grain breeder. There Is no opening
along tho limo OF special farming that
offers creator opportunities 60 tho am.
bilious young farmer than this. The
work Is littlo moro particular than
corn breeding perhaps. but tho results
arc just as sure and tho profits just as
great. Even though you may not caro-
10 take UP small grain breeding as
business. IL Will pay you TO carry It on
10 limited extent at least 60 provide
improved seed for your own use.
Selection tho Basis OF Improvement.
The requirements OF the various
grains vary with the use 60 which they
nro TO bo put. but the yield Is IN I'M
portant point with all. Selection IS
the basis for improvement I'm yiold ns
we'll as In the other points that will
be taken up later. The first step Is TO
select the variety that seems TO bo
doing best I'm your locality, and use
that rs the bnsls OF Improvement. The
simplest method OF breeding is 10 Sc
lect n few OF the best heads at harvest
time TO stnrt with. A great difference
VIII be observed at this time. Some
heads OF oats. for instance, will con
tain three times as many berries as
others not n foot away. Tho seed
from these large heads. following tho
law of nike produces like" give lar
ger yields.
The seed from the selected heads IS
sown on n plot by itself tho next
spring. Small grain IL not like corn In
that 1T is normally self fertlllzing. The
flower is inside tho hull, so that the
pollen cannot get from ono TO the
other. The only way cross polllnatlon
can be accomplished is by hand. Some
Improved varieties have been produc-
ed I'm this way. but tho operation is too
delicate and the results too uncertain
for the beginner. Being self fertllzed,
tho only way small grain can be mixed
Is mechanically, by mixing the seed. 1t
ID not necessary that the breeding plot
bo a considerable distance away from
the other fields, as I'm the case or corn.
The produce OF this breeding plot
should be thrnshed separately and used
for planting larger field tho next
year. The year after that there viii
be enough seed for the entire acreage
Of small grain.
This method is simple and easily
worked out on any farm. The trouble
with 1t is that tho inherited differ
