son Purity Irnportant

Our experiments teach us that soil
purity is more important han seed
purity: that is to say, poor quality Of
diseased seed may produce q reason
ably certain crop on virgin or disease
free soil for even the sick, internally
attacked plants are able to send THEN
roots further and further into the dis
ease-free soil and are able TO rejuve-
nate themselves and thus produce a
fair crop. We have found, however,
that when we have once used such
seed tina the land is very soon ruined
for the growth of wheat. This is a
fact which agrees with commo farm
observation. namely, that new grounds,
which are now rapidly settled up, be-
come wheat sick or wheat tired, fax
tired or fax sick in a much less num-
Der of years than 1t too to spoil the
same number of acres when the Red
river valley and western Minnesota
was being sparsely settled up-s1owIy,
year by year From this standpoint,
therefore, seed purity is all important
and our pure culture experiments are
to show up this particular feature.
