HIGH GRADE SEED IN DEMAND.
(By George S. Green.)

The very evident increase in the de
mand for high grade seed grain is
most encouraging to seedmen and the
leading houses in the seed trade are
making an earnest effort to supply
this demand. Heretofore there has
been neither widespread demand
nor any adequate source of supply for
quantities of high grade seed grain IN
any proportionate to the total area
to be seeded The supply for this de,
mand must come from two sources.
First, the breeding of pure seed grain
through the careful and painstaking
methods Of the scientific plant breed
er. This method while highly efficient
and fun of promise for the future and
hence worthy of all encouragement, is
necessarily slow. Furthermore, 1t will
only be useful to the farsighted and
educated farmer, who Is willing to pay
liberal prices for his seed and to give
his own local conditions sufficient
study to enable him to choose wisely
from the mass OF information offered
him by agricultural colleges
Sow Plump, WeIlMatured Grain.
The other method, which for the
present, appeals even more strongly
to me, is the selection and careful re.
cleaning of plump, high colored and
well matured grain, grown on clean
farms in sections which now produce
heavy crops of the grain in question
This class of seed grain distributed
In quantity through seedsmen and
other commercial channels will, | be.
ieve, produce quick results In great
~ increased average yield of grain in
the sections whore 1t Is sown
| verify believe that this should be
primarily a campaign against the use
Of inferior seed grain, against the use
If Weody, immature. poorly cleaned
seed grain, such as so many farmers
are now using
Insist on Clean, Heavy Seed
II you can displace the seeding OF
this character Of grain IN u county
and substitute the use Of good heavy
clean perfectly matured grain So
cured at moderate cost through ordin-
airy channels from sections where the
grain in question produces beautifully
yo@ will at once raise materially the
average production Of grain in that
county both in quantity and quality
what We want first and most of all
IL that farmers generally shall plant
GOOD. clean strong, germinabe seed,
produced under favorable conditions
and recloaned by modern methods
This kind of seed can be supplied in
large Qualities by scedsnen when the
demand for it is created

A SEED PLAT.
How to Select and Grow Your Own
Seed

icy N. A, Carleton, U. S, Cereallst.)
There is great difference In the
grain grown in the same fields and
under axactly the same conditions,
and the farmer should learn the Inn
portance of selecting sound, healthy
plants from all over the field in all
cases,
The best procedure is to make con
slant use Of a regular seed plat which
is simply small space Of one acre or
more, depending upon the size OF the
farm, in which enough seed grain is
grown, none of It being sold in the
usual manner, but all being used for
sowing the regular crop of the next
year
Select Healthy Plants.
To start the seed plat. SO through
the large field just before harvesting.
and select all OF the best individual
plants that can be quickly obtained,
keeping In mind good stooliug. large
heads and vigorous. healthy plants
without rust or smut, Continue select
ing until n sufficient number of bun
dies OF the plants are obtained, which,
when threshed, will give seed enough
Tor sowing an acre of ground, or more

for both throsher and engine should
not exceed $500,
Sowing the Seed Plat.
The seed from these bundles Is to be
used for sowing the seed plat, which
should ne set apart separate from any
of the fields and kept thoroughly pro
tectod, even fenced II necessary, A
new location should be selected each
season, Just before harvesting this
seed plat, the very best plants should
be selected from the plat in the man
ner before described, and the seed OF
these choice plants should be used the
following season for the seed plat, All
the remainder of the seed from the
seed plat should then be used for SOW
ing the general crop next season,
Continue this method from year TO
yoar, always obtaining the best seed
from the seed plat for seeding itself,
using the remainder of the seed for
the general crop. In this way no seed
is ever taken from the general crop
and yet II Is produced on the same
farm, Consequently 1t becomes Inn
