HOPS, WOOL AND H ID IS. H a s Upon the Y ie ld . Pro;. C. C. Georgeson of the Kansas Agricultural College contributes tlie fol lowing for the benefit of farmers: Dur ing tlie past tiiree years we have experi- meuted to ascertain what influence tho quality of seed wheat had upon the yield. For this purpose the wheat has been divided into three grades, which were denominated “ heavy,” “ common” and “ light.” These grades were obtained by running the wheat through a fanning mill. In the first place the wheat as it cauie from the thresher was run through the fanning mill to blow out tiie pieces of straw and chaff which it contained. The wheat tints cleaned was denominate«! tlie “ common” grade. Tlie “ heavy” anti “ light” grades were obtained by running the “ common” grade through tlie mill so as to divide it into the heavi est ami plumpest seed oil the one hand and the small aud more or less shriveled on tlie other. Tlie former was called “ heavy” see«l and the latter “ light” seed. Each of these three grades were sown on five plats, each plat one-twentieth of an acre in extent, and the comparison of the yields was based upon the average of tiie five plats in cacti case. I may explain here that tiie reason I use five plats is that by that means it becomes possible to get a better average of the Boil for each experiment. If only one plat is used in such experiments, there is a possibility that some of these singlo plats may 1« located on rich s|>ots in the field and others in p«Kir spots, as it is well nigh impossible to find fields which are of absolutely equal quality all over. But by multiplying tiie plats and alter nating them with one another over the whole area umler experiment and then basing the calculation on an average yield of each set of plats it is possible to eliminate the error «iue to inequality in tiie soil, which would otherwise arise. Now for the results of these experiments. The average yield for tlie three veara they have been carried on are as follows: Light seed, 25.19 bushels grain and 1,38 tons straw per acre; common seed, 26.57 bushels grain and 1.42 tons straw per acre; heavy seed, 27.07 bushels grain and 1.57 tons straw per acre. It will be seen from this that tlie better the se«>d, tiie better tlie yield. I t should be noted, however, that tlie grade here called "com m on” is lietter than tlie average see«! wheat used by farmers generally. Tlie majority of wlicat grower« sow the wheat just as it comes from the thresher, ami consequently 11 contains more or less chaff and bits of straw and weed seeds, which were separated in our experiments bv running the wheat through tlie fan ning mill. The wheat was seeded at the rate of a bushel anil a peek per acre, put in with a press drill, and the variety used was the “ Currcll.” But the influ ence of good seed can be traced far be yond tlie yield of the first year. I t will be apparent in successive crops, owing to the inexorable law of heredity, by which the offspring purtakesof the char acter of tlie parent stock. This law is fully recognized by all breeders of im- proved livestock, who exercise tlie great est «-are to aelect tlie best animals that they can get to breed from in order that tlie offspring may lie of su|>erior quality ami sell at a goml price. It is due to the operations of this law that ranchmen, who have only common cattle, are anx ious to obtain pure-bred unties for their henls in order that the steers they raise may get lietter form, grow larger and feed better than tiie offspring of tlie scrub bull. This law holds «‘quallv true in seed-breeding. Tlie grain raised from a superior quality of s«‘ed, which haa Imen selected with due care, will be la-tter seed mid yield better crops wlu'n it is sown than grain raised from inferior quality of seed. Most of our Western farmers recognize this principle in tiie selection of their seisl corn. A t husking time they select the largest and best ears and hang them in tlie loft orsomesi-eure place, to he used for seed next spring. W hy not apply the same principle to tlie selection of seed wheat? The experi ment I have quoted above proves that it is not an idle theory, bnt it is a fact which can lie verified by any one who will go to the necessary trouble. I f you have not Iieen in the habit of cleaning your seed wheat heretofore, do it this fall. It will pay yon.
