Oue of the' most Important factors in growing wheat (or seed is to keep the wheat pure. Many farmers are careless on Ibis point, often planting new seed on old wheat ground, thus allowing it to become mixed with volunteer wheat the first year. This mixitig of varieties causes tbe wheat to de terioiate iu yield and quality. When wheal is groi^n for seed it should lie on clean laud, free from volunteer wheat and other volun teer graius, rye being especially objecliouab.e. Care must tie taken iu harvesting and threshing the *eeil wheat to keep it from booorn- mg mixed with other varieties. Again, in order to maintain the quality and yield of wheat it is necessary to uaintaiu the fertility of the soil and to give the laud good culture. 000 8 weed votes against Oov.
