EAR DOOK of Department of re, 1 8 9 C; experiment! in recent yean ihow the advantage of using large and vigorous seed In growing various field and garden crops, but it Is only lately that attention Is being given to the use of such seed In wheat growing. At present experiments are being made at several different places to test this point with reference to wheat, three grades of seed small, medium and large being used. Too much attention cannot be given to this subject Many choice varieties have been developed by selecting from a field certain unusually good heads, planting the grains of these separately, and thereafter selecting the best each year. It has been satisfactorily proved that the old idea that grains give as good returns as large, healthy ones Is erroneous. red About the year 1876 a seml-harvariety, known as Grass wheat (probably an Odessa sort), became quite popular in Northern Kansas, and was widely used for ten or twelve years thereafter. However, as the variety was adapted for either fall or spring crop was sowing, and the spring-sow- n the always Inferior to the consequence was that two grades were produced from the one variety. As the n crop brought the better price, it became the practice to sell all the winter wheat and use the worst of tha spring crop for fall seeding. It was claimed that this practice made no difference In the quality or quantity of the winter wheat, but about 1888 Grass wheat began losing favor among wheat growers, having lost much of its original good quality, and finally gave place to Turkey, Fultz and other varieties. Now, there is no doubt that the deterioration of this variety was due, in great part at least, to the constant use of the very Inferior shriveled spring grain for fall seeding. Many runother instances of the ning out" of varieties is probably due mostly to similar cases. However, even under the best treatment it is a pretty fact that certain varieties, when introduced into new localities, will in time change quite materially in quality of grain. This is especially likely to be the case with hard northern sorts when transferred to warmer and molster southern latitudes. Probably the only remedy in such cases is to make an occasional fresh importation of seed. The matter of seed selection is of such vital Importance that probably nothing would be of more benefit to the wheat grower than the establishment of special small seed plats of, say, one to five acres, from which to select seed each year. The following plan is recommended: At harvest time cut from a good field a strip of the best portion, first eliminating all rye and other foreign heads and large weed seeds. After threshing the wheat from this strip, grade it by means of a fanning mill with special sieves made for tha purpose, so as to obtain only the largest and most vigorous grains. Use the best grade of wheat both for sowing the small plat and for the general crop the next season. The next year use none of the field crop for seed, but after grading the wheat from the small plat, as before, use the very best of it for sowing the small plat and all the remainder for sowing the large field, and so on year after year. Ih this way seed is never taken from the general crop, which cannot be given the same care as the small plat, and there is a constant selection of seed, which Is more and more rigid every year. Moreover, there is no extra labor involved, except the small amount required for grading the seed each year.

Corbett, South Dakota Experiment Station: Ever since the first true home builder staked out his claim on the great plains of the Northwest the problems of tree growth, both for fruit and protection, have been continual subjects of experimentation. ' Each person brought either seeds or plants from the South or East, depending upon the section whence he came. These plants were in a majority of cases failures or disappointments. History is said to repeat itself, and If we were to Judge all history by the records of tree planting, both by the early pioneers of this' country and by their descendants as they ventured into the interior, we should find that the later generation pursued the same plan as that tried by their The colonial settlers forefathers. and plants from the seeds brought mother country.

William Toole, writing in the Wisconsin Horticulturist, says: The vigor and fiorlferousness which our hardy perennials may show next season can be strengthened by the care given to them Just before winter. Even the hardiest of them will show more vigor if given winter protection. All herbaceous perennials which retain some foliage through the winter should have a little brush placed around them before being covered with straw or leaves. This to prevent heavy packing, which causes them to rot near the surface. Those which die down to the ground may be covered with coarse manure, which can be raked away in the spring. Tulips and other bulbs and all plants which sometimes come out of the ground before it seems safe to remove protection should be covered with manure, which need not be removed in the spring, the plants being permitted to come up through it Roses can best be protected by covering with earth, being careful when laying them down to throw a little earth next the base of the stems so that they will not break near the base. If carelessly done there is danger of a bend at top becoming uncovered during the winter. A little coarse litter on top of all wU) prevent the soil washing down. Climbing roses and such as are difficult to cover with earth may be held down with boards covered with straw and brush. Earliness of many kinds of annuals can be promoted by sowing just before winter, such kinds as pansies, popples, larkspurs, asters, pinks and many others. Popples and larkspurs should be sown where they are to grow. The rest may be planned for transplanting. These will come up before it is possible to have them with spring sowing, and be more robust than plants started well-rott- lira ut y la llluod Deep. Clean blood nieuns a dean skin. No without U.

The younger generation thought, perhaps, that because they were not going outside the limits of their own country, the experience which came to the Puritans would not come to them. It has taken years for this lesson to become firmly Impressed upon the people, but the great majority have come to appreciate its importance. The unsuccessful attempts to import from the East forced those that were determined, to look about them and to see what nature bad here provided. In the search for plants for groves and shelter belts, the native woodlands that border the rivers and lakes and have survived In the ravines, furnished the desired material, but the source from which to draw a fruit supply was not so easily found. The pioneer In an unknown climate may accept it as an axiom that success will be attained much more quickly from the adoption of native plants than from the introduction of foreign ones. It would be a very extraordinary portion of this earth's surface which would, by nature, be supplied with all the plants needed to provide for the several wants of man. If we but reflect a moment and consider the origin of the several cereal grains and fruits now considered as necessities and grown by the people of any one section of the United States, we cannot but be impressed with the great Importance of the power of acclimatisation and the extent to which It has acted upon plants. But while we fully appreciate the value of introduced species, yet for the more primitive necessities, such as shelter and fuel, we should look to native rather than to Introduced plants.
