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.
