SEED IMPROVEMENT MEETING. 223 



these varieties have in nearly every instance originated from 

 seedhngs. They represent, in other words, true hereditary 

 strains or hiotypes. While seedling selection is not t(^ be rec- 

 ommended to the ])ractical potato growler as a method of im- 

 proving his crop, nevertheless it will furnish a source of interest 

 and possibly large profit to plant a small amount of potato 

 seed (from the seed balls) and study the seedlings which result. 

 If a highly desirable seedling plant appears it may he propa- 

 gated indefinitely by the tubers in the ordinary way. 



The Association voted to pay the traveling and hotel expenses 

 of the Executive Committee when in attendance at meetings 

 of said Committee. The educational program and business of 

 the Association having been completed, it was voted to adjourn.
