The Importance of

of seed offered by dealers has been

Seed time is now almost here and
We want to again emphasize the i'm

Various states have passed laws
regarding the sale of farm seeds in
such way as to protect the farmer
from losses due to the purchase of
inferior seeds. In the farm crop
bulletins published by our expert

States Department of Agriculture
emphasis has been laid upon the
importance of bestowing much study
and care upon the selection of seeds
to he used on the farm.
With all the advancement that
has been made along the line of seed
Improvement, it can still be said
that little more than good begin
ming has been made. No amount
of seed testing or experimental work
can amount to much unless the
farmer duly appreciates the fact that
good seed is one of the first reQuis-
ties Of good farming. Ever 50 much !
attention may be given to careful
and thorough preparation of a seed !

an abundant supply of plant food

physical condition in the soil, ana
to o4her such essentials Of successful
crop raising. but, if the importance
OF gocd seed is not sufficiently real
