cation. Unless such precautions are
taken, differences in yield due to err
rors may appear and be attributed to
differences in the inherent yielding
abilities of the varieties.
2. Assembling data. By January
1 the yields secured at the central
and substations and other places
where the official tests are made are
carefully compiled and checked and
a copy is sent to each man directly
interested in the work.
3. Deciding on the varieties to be
recommended. All of the men inter-
ested in this work at the central and
substations meet at University Farm
during the first week in January Of
each year. With the results from the
official tests for the year before them,
together with results from the plant
breeding nursery, the merits of the
varieties are considered and based on
the results from these carefully made
tests. Decisions are made by major
ity vote of those presnt as to the var
ieties that are to be increased for
further trial or distributed to the
growers throughout the state. Be-
fore a variety is recommended data
must be available that will satisfy at
least dozen men that it merits rec
ommendation. Varieties originated
within the state and at other loca-
lions stand or fall on their intrinsic
worth as shown by careful test.
Following this meeting, list of
the recommended varieties is made
up and published in papers through
out the state and in bulletins when
this method is thought advisable.
This list can be secured each year by
| any one interested in receiving it and
the recommendations should be fol-
lowed in preference to rumors and
hearsay regarding the value of var
ious varieties.
1t appears that a united program
like this which aims to locate
through careful tests the best varie-
ties available at any particular time,
to make these available and to give
information regarding them should
meet with the approval and hearty
support of the growers themselves
and all those dependent on them for
prosperity.-A. G. Army, associate
professor of farm crops, University of
Minnesota.

SPUD SEED SHOULD
COME FROM SEED PLOT
European Yields Much Lower Than
American on Account of Bin
Selection Hen

"Mr. Potato Grower, are you in
terested in getting a larger yield
from your acreage, as we'll as bet
ter grade of stock?" asks R. G. Rose,
potato specialist with the agricul-
tural extension division of the state
university. eff you are, then why
not join the movement to maintain
potato seed plots and develop high
grade seed that has record for pro-
duction and freedom from disease.
Just remember that good seed will al
ways give good returns under favor
able conditions, while poor seed is
always uncertain
Mr.. Rose points out that the aver
age yield of potatoes in this coun-
try is around SO bushels an acre,
while in Great Britain and Germany
the average yield is about 200
bushels an acre.
Several things may contribute to
this disparity in yields, but Mr.. Rose
is positive that differences in methods
of propagating and handling seed are
the greatest factors. Growers of
potatoes across the big pond are
usually very careful about their
seed. American growers, on the
other hand, are rather lax, relying
too much on bin selection, seed
treatment and spraying to control
diseases. These methods are all
good, as far as they go, but they do
not reach all the seed borne diseases
and weaknesses which may be pres
ent.
What constitutes good seed? Mr..
Rose replies that high grade seed
should be of high yielding strain
of a standard variety which is vigor-
GUS and free from diseases. In
building up high grade seed stock
the unproductive strain should be
eliminated just as the boarder COWS
are cast out of improved dairy herds
and the Stacker hen is removed from
the best producing fiocks.
The general maintenance of potato
seed plots will, in the opinion of Mr..
Rose, gradually increase the aver
age production in this country.
Minnesota potato growers" he says,
''are advantageously located for seed
plots, and it should be the aim of
every progressive grower to improve
his seed production by the seed plot
method. Not only the grower of
table stock, but also growers of GER
titled seed, should have special plots
for improving their seed. A seed
plot should consist of about one
twelfth of the entire acreage to pro-
vide enough seed for the following
year. If possible, it should be on
land that has not grown potatoes
for at least five years.
Medium size tubers are preferred
for seed. Large ones are not econ
omica1, and the planting of small
ones involves the danger of increas,
ing the proportion of degenerate
plants in the stock, as weak plants
generally produce small bulbs. The
ideal size of seed potatoes is from
five to eight ounces. AS an addi.
tional precaution against such
diseases as scab and black scurf, the
seed ought to be soaked in solution
of corrosive sublinate a ounces il

Methods of Finding the Best Varieties

Methods of Finding the Best Varieties
1t is to the advantage of the wheat
growers Of the state to use the very
best variety or varieties of wheat that
are available. How are the growers
to find which are the desirable varie-
ties and which the undesirable? The
answer is, only by accurate and care
fully made field tests under compare
tive conditions. State experiment
stations usually can best make these
tests as they have men trained to the
work and can provide the necessary
scientific skill and equipment.
To test on a field basis all the
promising new varieties of wheat in
comparison with the best of the older
ones the following method has been
adopted at the Central Experiment
Station in Minnesota and at the SUBJ
stations at Crookston, Morris, Grand
Rapids, Duluth and Waseca.
1. The official tests. Each year
the new varieties, originated in Min
nesota and other states and in Can
ada or other foreign countries, which
are pure and which have shown high
yielding ability, are grown in the Off
cial tests at University Farm and the
various substations. The plots are
approximately one-fortieth of an acre
in size. Each variety is grown in at
least three regularly distributed plots
at each location, in order to take into
account possible inequalities of the
soil, and the yield of each variety is
based on the average yield of the
three plots. It is known that plots OF
this size surrounded by alleys yield
higher than large fields under like
conditions. In order that the yields
from these plots may approximate
very closely those from large fields
under like conditions, the two outside
drill rows from the sides and approx
imately one foot in width from either
end are removed from all plots before
harvest. Every precaution is taken
in harvesting, threshing and weigh
ing to secure the most accurate data
possible so that the yields secured
may be those of the varieties for that
particular year at that particular To-

THE STORY OF
MINNESOTA WHEAT

Minnesota Wheat; Acreage and Yield
Wheat growing began in Mime
sofa about 1849 or 1850. A ship
ment of 1000 bushels from Hastings
in 1852 is recorded but it is not
known whether it went up the river
to St. Paul or down the river. The
census of 1859 shows shipments of
369,625 bushels from ports on the
Mississippi river. Minnesota flour
from hard spring wheat came into the
lead in the commerce of the United
States in 1858. Wheat production in
Minnesota thereafter increased rap
idly.
In 1860, it is estimated that 53.4
per cent of all titled land in Mime
sofa (23O,315 acres) was in wheat.
.heat-raising increased rapidly after
Groads penetrated to the prairie
in 1870 to 1872. The acre
1872 was 1,267,3O9. In 1878,
cent of all tillable land was in
It. Since that time the amount
nd used for wheat raising in pro-
ion to land in other crops has
Iually decreased, though actual
Aages in wheat continued to in
Ase, from 2,592,4OO in 1879 to g.
W9,5O6 acres in 1901, with only oc-
sional temporary recessiOns. Since
1901 there has been a gradual de-
crease in acreage to 100000 acres
in 1920. In the occasional years the
acreage has been temporarily in
creased, but the trend has been down.
ward. The average acreage for the
last five year period is approximately
3.750,OO0 acres with a present tend
ency toward a smaller rather than a
larger acreage.
Contrary to the generally prevail
ing opinion, yields per acre have not
decreased. Records show that the
largest average yields for the state
obtained in the early days were %
bushels an acre in 1850 and again in
1865. Records for the years between
1850 and 1866 are not available. Be-
cause the yield was % bushels in
1850 and again in 1865, the impress
sion is sometimes carried that wheat
remained at that high yield during
the period This of course, was not
the case. The yields from 1855 to
1879 would average not more than IL
bushels an acre.
The maximum yield on record was
obtained in 1895 when a state aver
age of % bushels an acre was Sc
cured. So recently as 1918 an aver
age yield of FL bushels an acre was
secured for the state. If the yields
are considered by fve-year periods
the variations due to seasonable diff
erences is eliminated and the trend
more clearly indicated. The records
show that the best yields were Sc
cured in the latter rather than the
earlier years. A comparison of the
wheat crop by fve-year periods from
1879 to 1918, inclusive, shows that
the maximum acreage was grown in
1899 to 1903. This also was period
of maximum production. The max
imum yield, was secured the years be-
tween 1894 and 1898.
The total acreage of wheat in Min
nesota has given a higher average
yield in the 10 years since 1909 than
for any previous 10 year period, not
excepting even the best years on new
prairie land. It would seem there
fore that while the wheat acreage in
Minnesota is declining to some ex-
tent, it is not because of lower yields
to the acre.-Andrew Boss, vice
director of the Minnesota Experiment
Station University Farm

Providing Community Houses

While many thriving towns and
cities have no general meeting place
for their citizens, yet others with
less population and wealth drive
ahead and secure civic centers. Here
is McGregor, Iowa, a town of 1,400
people, which wanted community
house. They found that the kind of
a building they would want would
cost $4,000 to $4,000. So they
fixed up deal with the Masonic
order, by which for a rental of $420
annually they get two floors in the
Masonic building for a community
center. 1t is expected to meet ex-
penses by renting the hall for enter
tainments.
Their new quarters are a hive of
civic and social activities. During
one week they had these events:
Lecture on rural sociology, sewing
demonstration, conference of Amer
lean legion, banquet for railroad
men, dancing party for manual train
ing school, party for children. When
community center is provided, it
stimulates all form of useful activi-
ties.
