Me- THOD IN SAVING SEED
CROP OF ENTIRE PLANT RATHER
THAN SINGLE SPECIMEN.
BY A. C. Page, College Of Agriculture,
University OF Missouri.

Going on the theory that like Dcgot1
like" farmers often save the seed
from the largest watermelon, the
largest tomatoes or the largest aud
finest of various other crops. This IS
not entirely wrong. for large fruits DO
tend TO reproduce themselves to Il
certain extent But III general tho
results from selection Of single large
fruits are Disappointing.
The farmer who saves the largest
potatoes from the pit OF seed expects
TO get q crop OF large potatoes when
he plants them. Instead, he gets u
crop in which there are few very
large potatoes and great many
very small ones The same wi. be-
found true Of tomatoes or any other
plant which is raised from seed and
which Is expected to bear more than
one fruit
Livingstone, the man who probably
improved the tomato more than any
other man, tells that FOR twenty years
he tried to get improved fruit by s".
lccung the largest and finest looking
single Tomatoes The results were
never up to his expectations. While
some OF the fruits would be large ana
fine, many moro would be too small
TO be much account lie stumbled
onto the principle however, which is
now recognized as one OF the most
important in seed selection. i is

II takes nature thousands OF years
to build up this soil which the farm
