the application of science to agricul-
ture and science is simply organized

The Improvement OF seed alone will
come to little. for the use OF the most
improved seed on soil low in fertility
or in poor physical condition will be
disappointing. but good results Will
come OF planting improved seed on

When We recognize this character
