GOOD VEGETABLE SEED
Major Portion of American

Seedsmen and Professional Growers
Are Learning That Wisdom and
Care in Breeding and Growing

|. It is practically impossible to give
an aceurate statement Of the area In
! the United States which is annually
devoted to raising garden seeds. or
even to make a reliable estimate Of
The total acreage. Even on farms
where the chief money crop is garden
seed, only portion (often but small
portion) Of the. whole farm is IN a
seed crop any single year, the remain
der being occupied with ordinary
farm crops in order to maintain a
profitable crop rotation. The major
portion Of American-grown small
seeds, like those Of onion and lettuce,
Is the product Of large farms located
In California, though many thousands
Of pounds Of such seeds are grown In
the eastern states. One who Is
very familiar with seed growing on
the Pacific coast estimates that the
total acreage Of vegetable seed an
nually planted In California is not far
from 10000 acres.

In the northwestern states and others

Fifty years ago there was little gen.

tor in determining the real profit In

It Is evident that the present prac-
tice of growing and handling seeds Is
by no means ideal or such as to give
the greatest possible uniformity OF
varietal character. In the case Of q
majority Of the vegetable cultures In
America, If all Of even 90 per cent Of
the plants were as nearly alike In
varietal,t type as the 20 per cent which
were the most alike, the profit from
these cultures would be greatly in
creased; often actually doubled. On
the other hand. the growing Of vege.
table seed under. present conditions is
not particularly profitable or satisfac'
tory to the farmer. Is there any pos
sibility Of betterment? We think 80.
Seed planters are coming to realize
more fully the Importance Of the use
Of better seed and the folly Of being
SO largely Influenced by low prices

The question is often asked, "'Of how
much value Is school training to farm

recent agricultural survey Of several
townships Of Tompkins county, New

many interesting and suggestive facts
bearing upon rural sociology. To quote

Glassmaking used at one time to be
the most aristocratic Of all industries.
A French law passed under Louis
TX. allowed none but men of noble
birth to set up glass-blowing estab-
lishments or even to work therein.
For many centuries this was the only
trade noblemen could venture to work
IN without any danger Of losing caste.
The art of glassmaking reached Eng
land through France, and in its early
days those engaged in it styled them
selves gentlemen glass blowers"

Those who imagine that creative
artist can, through the medium Of his
art, express his feelings at the
moment when he is moved, make the
greatest mistake. Emotions, sad or
joyful, can only be expressed retro

special reason for rejoicing, | may be

mood, and, vice versa. a work coEi-
posed amid the happiest surround

Down in the Texas Panhandle, some
times referred to as the plains" coun
try. the farmers have started a move
ment to eXterminate the jack rabbit in
the interest of the grain crops. The
county commissioners of Hale county
have placed a boundary of three cents
each on the rabbits scalp. Several
rabbit drives" have been pulled off
near Plainview, the county seat of Hale
county, and up to last New Years day
there had been 5000 rabbits brought in
for the sake of the bounty upon their
heads. The choicest ones are first sold
to the local produce companies for table
use, at five cents apiece, and the ears
are then taken ito court to claim the
three cents bounty. The produce COM
panies have done big business ship
ping the rabbits away for food, and
hundreds of those not suited for such
use have been bought by farmers for
hog feed.

A New Feature Of The Republican

The Republican Instituted yesterday the Farm

Tuesday morning feature of this paper. IT will be
under the direction of Professor Stanley Il, Morse
superintendent of the agricultural extension service
of the University of Arizona The object is to bring
to the attention of farmers, who would not he
reached otherwise, much matter gathered by the ex-
tension service and usually issued in the form of a
circular The circular, however, IS not to be dis
continued.
a particularly valuable feature of the depart
ment will be a column devoted to the personal ex
periences of well known farmers who have conspc-
uousy succeeded in or more of the many
branches of agriculture in this state, and nowhere
else is agriculture diversified We believe that
in this way more than in any other, can there be a
dissemination of information regarding the best
methods farming.
The thing in which The Republican is especially
interested is to make of this department y clearing
house for practical helpful suggestions from farm
ers themselves, and we should be particularly in
terested in getting suggestions from farmers many Of
whom are specializing most successfully. We know
that these men will be glad to give the benefit Of
their experience to the newcomer. and believe
that these will he glad Professor Morse
in the solution of the problems of the newcomer as
well others
1t is not the purpose Of Professor Morse or The
Republican to encroach upon the field excelently
filled by those journals exclusively devoted to agri-
culture in all its branches hoped that this
department will enlist the attention of the General
reader and those farmers whom the agricultural
journals do not come
The interest in farming is much greater in Ari-
than it "a few years ago, but it is not vet
either general intense as it ought to be;
itself though
than formerly, is not yet nearly profitable as it
will be when the best methods are more widely en-
ployed.
This department, it is hoped, as a supplement to
the efforts of the extension through its bull
letins demonstration tours and institutes
assist in making the use of these better methods
widespread.
