spring seeding was q success. The
demand for tho seed has now become
20 great that one Of the largest seed
houses In the state, that has been pur-
chasing from Western Canada farmers
and importing It. has decided to pur-
chase large block Of land In that
country for the purpose Of growing the
grain themselves. They will devote
considerable portion Of their West
ern Canada holdings to growing oats,
barley and rye. Their action Is a
strong Endorsement Of the product. For
some time past a considerable qunn-
tity Of seed oats has also been import
ed. The prolific yield reported was
what probably gave an impetus to the
Introduction Of wheat.

Of years the quality Of the oats, ms
well as the yield. began to detcrioratc
when grown seed was used, making II
necessary for fresh importations every
couple of years. II Is possible that
the same experience may follow the
growing Of Western Canada wheat. In
fact II is quite probable, and the Ohio
farmer will find It necessary to import
every two years.
With the success that has followed
the Ohio farmers experiments with
this imported seed II Is possible other
states now growing winter wheat will
begin growing spring wheat. II may
