LABORATORY EXERCISES 



It is desirable that laboratory specimens of the plants discussed 

 in this chapter or the thrashed grain or both plants and gram be avail- 

 able for class use, so that they may be studied and the members of the 

 class enabled to familiarize themselves with these little known or local 

 crops. If any of these crops are important in the locality, careful 

 studies of them should be made and exercises in judging given as sug- 

 gested for the other grains.
