Hence 1t was the practice to act on
the assumption that the difference be-
tween the best seed and that OF aver
age quality was not great enough to
be worth the trouble OF selection. That
our deficiencies in production are az
fributabIe chiefly to the neglect OF this
important matter there can be no
doubt and Il is equally indubitable
THAT the progress made lately in the
way Of increasing yields has been due
TO the greater care that ls being shown

But the care that Is even now Gus

are obtainable. Hence Col p. L.
