IMPROVEMENT iN SEED GRAIN

Pulity and' quality are two factors

that every mall should look for when selecting seed grain. The seed that is put -in the soil has a definite and important influence on the growth and vigor of the resrllti-ng crop and cou- scquently on the yield. lrl some cas- es, too, little care is used .in selecting the grain used for seed and the result is a lowered yield'-‘and less satisfact- ory returns. At this time when the Emplre is calling for increased pro- duction nothing should be neglected that will help to produce nlaxinlunl yieirh: on the larld that is cultivated.

Careful experiments have been

shown that large plump grain will produce largcl' yields than small grain or slllalnkcrl grain. Tile large graill has a greater amount ot' plant food stored up-. When the grain. is placed' ill the soil and gcrlninates thr- little plant has more food to give it a start. Therefore, it is able to rie- veiop a strong root system and to overcome any unfavorable condition:~ of climate ol' soil at seeding time mllclr better tllun the plant from the snlail or shrunken grain. Grain ill- tended' for s'eedinf should bc well graded to screen out. all small. shrun- ken or ilnlnutllrc gra-ins and weed seeds.

Every weed seed sown llor-,' a detri-

mental effect on the crop. Many far- mers do not realize the exte-nt to which weed seeds are sometimes sown with seed grain. Tile Seed Branch of the Dominion Dcpartrnellt of Agricul- ture coilected samples of seed grain from all over' (lrlnada ill 1913. One hundred anti' sixty-four salnples of seed oats were collected ill the pl'o viuce of Ontario. ln these oats there was all average of 140 weed seeds per pound. Sucil oats seeded at thc

place about sixty weed seeds in every square yard. More attention shouIr`
