SEED SELECTION IMPROVES THE POTATOES
Product OF a Single Hill, Showing Uniformity Of Size and Shape Resulting
From Hill Selection Of Seed.

acres were planted in q special plat
for seed, to be used for the main
crop the following year. This plan vas
followed for IL years with a potato
which 1t was said would degenerate
and ultimately run out; but that po-
tato continued to improve during all
that time.
Several years ago Prof. e. R. Ben
nett, a specialist in potato work. be-
came interested in the work the writer
was doing and freely complimented
him on his success in potato produc-
ton; but he wanted to take up and
further improve the stock. Out Of
specially selected seed he selected
perfect tubers and planted them in Q
field by themselves, and when the po-
tatoes were ready to harvest we dug
all Of them by hand and kept the
product of each hill separate. All
hills that did not have 20 tubers OF
uniform size, without knob, crack, or
rough end. we're discarded. No hill
was selected unless it came within
these requirements, and surprisingly
few hills were found which passed
muster. Enough were selected, how.
ever, to make about two hundred
pounds, and these were planted the
following spring. When harvested Il
was a most marvellous row Of pota-
toes. BY pursuing this method It is
expected that we will soon have q
potato that will make rs perfect tn
bers to the hill.
Had we bred our Shorthorn cattle
as we have been in the habit of Sc
lecting and breeding our seed pota-
toes, we would now have no breed Of
Shorthorns. If we used only the culls
and scrubs to breed from, u breeds
of stock would soon run out. These
breeds have been brought to their
present standard by selecting the best
on scientific principles Of breeding.
One reason why potatoes have degen-
Grated in the past Is that the potato
growers Of the United States have
planted their culls and screenings un-
der the erroneous impression that
such methods in seed selection would
produce as good results as any other.
In selecting potatoes in the field.
considerable dependence can be
placed on the appearance Of the top.
A large. perfect top, with several
stems of good shape and size. can be
depended upon to have more tubers
under it, and Of more uniform quail
ity and size, than a hill with a single
stalk or one with small weak ones.

GREEN CUT BONE IS
RELISHED BY W
It Contains All Elements Found
in Egg From Shell to Center
Saves Grain Bill.

Some years ago a certain poultry
keeper wrote Of his success with green
cut bone in a flock OF laying hens. All
the extra care this flock got was to
see that they got all the extra green
cut bone they could eat every day.
Laying was heavy, cockerels and hens
grew heavy; it saved other feed. When
next l heard that flock had gone to
smash after a couple of years, says a
writer in Twentieth Century Farmer.
Too much pushing. too much green
bone. You cannot give hens all they
will eat Of fresh meat, for green cut
bone is certainly fresh meat and fresh
bone mixed. A few years ago every
poultry writer was experimenting
with green cut bone and giving re-
suits; then the enthusiasm yer green
cut bone died out. And yet there Is
much to the advisability Of feeding
green cut bone in moderation each
day in certain amounts II you can get
1t fresh, as it contains all the elements
found in the egg from shell to center,
while often much OF the other animal
matter fed for eggs contains moth
ing Of some of the egg elements, and
these must be supplied in other foods.
An ounce Of green bone each day is
enough for a laying hen. 1t must be
fresh; to feed it tainted means sick.
ness in the flock, and oon worse. A
bone cutter is a necessity where win.

bers for market; or. II handy to a
meat market. the butcher often dis.
poses Of his green bone scraps, ready
cut or shaved. and at low prices. An
ounce Of green cut bone a day for
each hen saves Just that much on
the grain bill.
