louse, etc. The queBtion presents itself, 

 should each canner establish an experi- 

 mental farm of his own and spend the 

 time and money necessary to ascertain 

 facts necessary to the intelligent pur- 

 chase of his seed stocks or should there 

 not be certain public and reliable sources 

 to which he may freely go for the in- 

 formation required? 



"The canner must have the best seed 

 stocks that can be produced, not only 

 true to type and disease-resistant, but 

 seed stocks that are bred to the highest 

 power of maximum production. The 

 state and national government should 

 come to our aid in this necessary work. 

 The modern canner cannot tolerate the 

 least sign of inefficiency to creep into his 

 factory organization or to affect his fac- 

 tory equipment, and why should we al- 

 low it to enter the domain of our seed 

 supply?"
