Excerpt from The Selection of Seed-WheatIn connection herewith it should be stated that the highest results can only be obtained when the seed is selected from pro ductive individual plants, and that under favorable conditions even small perfect seeds from productive plants may be better than large seeds from unproduc tive plants. The main influence of large grains selected by simple sieve grading. Will be in giving the plants a more Vigorous start in life, which of itself is of extreme importance. Other things being equal it is entirely fair to pre sume that the crops which are placed under the most. Favorable environment are going to give the best returns. It has been shown that, m general, the more vigor ous plants (that is, those having the largest spikelets) contain the larger grains, so that even: in selecting the grains by simple Sieve separation the bulk of the larger grains would come from the more vigorous plants, and thus there would be, in a measure at least, a selection from vigorous plants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
