Seed Plat Method.
The first step in the Seed Plat Meth
cd is the selection of the largest, best
filed and otherwise most desirable
heads from the field that is TO be i'm
proved. No set rule can be laid down
as to the number OF heads to gather,
but it is usually best to go through the
field and pick more than enough OF
the best heads to SOW an acre, then
spread out or hang up to dry. In the
winter when time is not so valuable
they can be sorted over and the poor
er ones thrown out, leaving a suffi.
Gent number to SOW a seed plat Of
about n acre. These are threshed
out with a fail and the wheat, after
being cleaned and graded. saved until
spring. If time is too scarce at har-
vest time to make the head selection
while the grain is standing, good re-
suits may be obtained by selecting
them from the shock or even when
stacking or threshing. but the field is
the best place.
Do Not Sow too ThickIy.
The acre plat after being properly
prepared is sowed to this selected
wheat with the ordinary drill in the
usual method. except that it is adyis-
able not to SOW it quite so thick as
most farmers do. thus giving it a
good chance to stool out we'll. de-
velope good root systems and good
heads. Harvesting may be done as
usual with special care to prevent
mixing with other varieties. The
threshing is the most difficult propo-
aition. but the breeder can well af-
ford to pay i thresher a little extra
to clean his machine ont thoroughly
and the first buahel or two may be
thrown away. thus insuring jurity.
The Increase Plat.

The third ear enough selected seed
should be on hand to SOW the field OF

and every succeeding year so long as
one wishes to continue the selecting,
the breeder has the three steps of his
selection process. viz, seed plat OF
one acre, increase plat of 8 to Il

more.
