 ]ii'|)|)t'r and tlic liki', 



In till' cloaninn of 

 vine seeds, tomato, 

 tlie same cleaning 

 maeliinery is used for several X'arieties. 

 If not watclied witii rifidfous care, tliesi^ 

 machines are fruitful sources of exi)en- 

 sive and disastrous mixtures. The 

 same chance for mixtures occurs iu 

 tlireshinj"' machines used succi'ssivoly 

 for several varieties of ])eas, heans, 

 ra<lish, etc. 



These are a numlier of the examples 

 of causes for jxior si'ed against which 

 the seed farmer must safej^uard llims^df. 



VVi' now pass on to contract growers. 



Contract Grower. 



Aft<'r supjilying the rifjht kin<l of 

 stock si'ed to liis farmer growers, the 

 contract }>rower should check uj), tirst, 

 the type of f.armer who is j^rowiii); the 

 seed. The contract };rower who has a 

 |)oor (dass of seed farmers, the chances 

 are, is not delivering to his customei's 

 a yood grade of seed. 



Second, the ideal contractor knows 

 the land on which his seed farmer is 

 planting tiie crop and, in case of crops 

 lialile to mixture from wind or insects, 

 how the surrounding land is going to l>e 

 planted, so as to preserve isolation. 



Third, the ideal contract grower 

 should inspect ex'ery one of his difl'ereut, 

 contract titdds ami rogue tliem liinistdf 

 or (dieck up the rogning. 



Fourth, the Itettei' contract grower has 

 his fjirmers projierly eipiipped with har- 

 vesting su|)plies and maeliinery to pre- 

 vent loss from weathor. 



Fifth, the utmost care must lie exer- 

 cised to i)revent mixture in cleaning 

 and thresliing. There are some (lever 

 systems and methods of handling siudi 

 (deanikg and threshing matdiinery. 

 worked out after years of ex|ierience. 

 There are, on tlu' other hand, heginners 

 aiul other seed cont r.actors who, I might 

 say, trust to luck. "It is better to he 

 lucky than ridi." 



Sixth, good storage facilities are 

 necessary, as wtdl as dryers for use in 

 UDntiniKil on paRC K'.i.)
