on the other hand, to be willing to stand 

 the reduction of many pounds or bush- 

 els to the acre because of taking out 

 the rogues, or wild plants, which plants 

 generally are by far the most produc- 

 tive of the whole crop. 



This depreciation of quality in many 

 brands of seeds is noticed in any well 

 managed trial ground, where it is mani- 

 fest that seeds sold at extremely low 

 prices have been sold even then higher 

 than is their true value. This deprecia- 

 tion in quality applies to nearly every- 

 thing sold at extremely low prices, which 

 oheap prices in the very beginning in- 

 dicate a questionable origin of the stock. 



Demoralizing Competition. 



Often this depreciation is laid at the 

 'loors of the country storekeepers, but 

 it really is chargeable to a great degree 

 to larger seed sellers striving to get 

 orders at any price. As these cheap 

 prices seem to demonstrate to the coun- 

 try storekeeper that many seed houses 

 and seed contractors have no bottom 

 whatever to tbeir prices, the storekeeper
