hand pollination is caused by the pecu-
liar shape. structure and nature OF the
flower. Even after the flower Is open
the pollen-bearing stamens and the
stigma on which the pollen must fall
are rolled up tightly In the keel or
lower petal of the flower. Now. in
order to set seed, It has been shown
that these organs must be released
from the keel and the stigma some

this by alighting on the keel in their
weight of the insects body bursts the
keel and allows the pollen to be
thrown out. At the same time the stig-

done artifcially by pressing upon the

ment. By this method the number of
flowers pollinated may be counted and
recorded and the seeding ability Of a

After careful study OF the charac-
ters of many individual plants. certain
ones will be selected as worthy OF fu.
ture tests and further propagation.
Three lines Of procedure are offered:
/. The selected plants may be al
lowed TO seed In the open and these
seed be harvested and planted in test
rows, subsequent selections being
made from each testrow. This method
has been fully described by Wheeler
and BALI, in Bulletin 10l. South Dako-
Ia, as follows:
In the breeding OF alfalfas the seed
from various sources is sown In selec-
tlon rows, each row representing a
single source of South Dakota acces-
sion number. The rows are three feet
apart and each plant occupies one foot
OF row. One hundred or more plants
are grown in each row. From the Sc
lection rows the best appearing indi-
viduals from the best original sources
are selected and marked by numbered
stakes. The seed from these plants Is
saved separately and sown the next
season in centgener or pedigree rows.
The plants In these rows are grown
the same as In the selection rows. The
difference between the selection and
pedigree rows is simply in the source
OF the seed; selection rows are from
single regional sources, while pedigree
rows are from single plants selected
from selection rows or from older pedi.

IDEA FOR SHORT CURTAINS.
Decorative Scheme That Is Proving
Helpful to Degree.

There is a fashion In decoration that
should be helpful to the woman who
must fit short curtains to new win
dows.
This is the idea Of having deep dec
orative borders on fabrics Of solid
color.
Separate borders can be bought at
the large shops with surprising ease
by the woman who knows how to root
out the artistic thing. They do not
come for curtains as rule, but they
serve admirably.
The foundation color is usually deep
tinted, although some good patterns
can be got with the foundation In
natural crash tones.
The color note is Intended, OF
course, to harmonic with the room In
which II Is placed.
The border may be fastened on by
a double row of stitching close to
gether, over which are big stitcbe:
with coarse thread Of the foundation
color, sewed as Bagdad strips are
sewed.
Some people omit the stitching
using only this coarse sewing.
