Seed Wheat. 



gj 



Tig. 27. To show method of testing the qualities of large, medium-sized, and small grains of 

 wheat. Row 1 is from large seed, 2 is from medium-sized seed, 3 is from tailings, 

 while 4 is from extra large and plump seed. The differences in growth are due solely 

 to the varying size of the seed, so far as it was found possible to control the field condi- 

 tions ; and it was found possible to control them to a large extent, as described in the text. 

 The trial here shown is Battling Jack, 1896.
