560 Reading-Course for Farmers. 



The objects of these questions are: 



(i) To lead the reader to systematize his own thoughts on the subject 

 of Plant Improvement, or Plant Breeding, in order to determine wherein 

 his personal observations accord with the statements expressed in this 

 paper, and, 



(2) To furnish information to the members of the College Staff on 

 the nature of the information on breeding subjects most desired by 

 their readers. 



Farmers are urged to carefully read the paper on this subject and then 

 to fill in this supplement with accurate answers to each question. 



/. Are you attempting to breed any crops? If so, what crops? 



2. Do you believe that farmers generally could be induced to purchase 

 highly-bred seed for planting purposes, if local men were breeding plants 

 as carefully as many are now breeding poultry, hogs, etc.? 



5. Why is it that farmers do not more generally select and breed the 

 crops they are growing?
