am going to thank you for a copy
of that article you were so thoughtful
to send me, and before making any
comments as to it's merits, | am led
to tell you a little story to illustrate
my position--and perhaps yours.
My wife once had a cousin living
here, one Henry Walker who. in his
boyhood, lived near the pond in Madi-
son. After residing in Sprin gfeld,
Mass, several years and having gone
to the front in the Civil War, he came
back to Maine. He was a good schol-
ar, somewhat of poet, a dreamer and
a great lover of nature and the beauti-
full, and his flights of Imagination in
that line sometimes ran very high.
1t happened that one night, or af-
ternoon, he took the stage here for
East Madison. 1t was lovely after
noon and the gorgeous sunset was
charming, and of course Mr. Walker
became very much enamored with the
scenery AS he passed by the pond
on which he in boyhood had skated
and sailed, while in the West the
beautiful sun was dropping behind the
distant hills, under the poetic infu-
ence and inspiration of the hour he
had to give vent to his pent up en-
thusiasm by reminding the plain old
stage driver of the beauties spread out

Maine Department of Agriculture

The Maine Seed Improvement Asso-
citation was organized in 1910 for the
purpose of improving the yield and
quality of the crops grown in Maine
The question was one of profit The
greater the yields and the better the
quality, the greater amount of prod
uct we have to feed or to sell and the
higher price We shall receive.
] Each year the membership and in
terest have increased until now it is
realized there has been no move made
in the past few years which will have
a greater or more far reaching effect
on Maine Agriculture than improved
ample; the average yield in Maine Is
/ 81 bushels per acre, yet many men
in the State are raising an average
of so to 60 bushels per acre. If we
can learn the methods employed by
these men and secure seed which nat
urally gives a high yield, we can raise
/ lIt ave. dSt ' ltIQ W llIOlt lIdu ~
bushels per acre. If man has ten
acres of oats at 81 bushels per acre
and they are worth fifty cents per
bushel he has a value of $l55 If his
yield is Al bushels per acre, the val
ue of his crop will be sos, or a clear
gain of $50. as the cost of growing 81
! bushels per acre is as much as grow
ing 4 bushels.
What is true of oats is true of all
the farm crops we grow. The yield
may be largely increased and the
quality much improved by using the
best methods of caring for our crop
and by planting only seeds which
have been carefully selected for yield
and tested for termination.
Now is the best time to select our
seed for next years crop. 1t is nat
ural that potatoes from good strong
j hill which has a large number of
smooth potatoes of the best size and
shape, growing under a plant with
vigorous top and strong stem should
yield better than seed from a weak
i hill with rough and uneven potatoes
or few in the hill, under a weak, sick
j ly. yellow plant.
/ Let us select our seed at digging
time in the field from those hills
which show Tigor in the top and yield
and quality in the hill.
With corn, let us choose our seed
while still on the stalk. Strong up
! right stalks and large corn yields go
together Vitality in the corn will
be lacking unless there is vigor in
the plant.
! Let us select our seed with one eye
upon the individual ear and one upon
the parent stalk. If the ear is of the
type we desire large in size for the
variety, we'll filled, matured and
grown upon a strong, upright vigor-
Gus plant, we may reasonably expect
an Improvement in the yield and
quality of our crop the next season.
The Commissioner Of Agriculture
and the officers of the Maine Seed
Improvement Association urge field
selection of seed. They urge more
careful study of our crops that we
may learn which variety or strain
of seed will yield best upon our
farms. The Department and the AS
ISOLATION stand ready to offer sugges-
tons in regard to Seed improvement
work or give assistance TO any who
Will apply.
