in each case twenty or thirty feet long, 

 ■each grown from a distinct seed head 

 taken from plants of a previous growth 

 which showed different and inferentially 

 valuable characteristics in leaf or other 

 qualities. The seed from these selected 

 plants will be saved and sown a suc- 

 ceeding year, to be further developed or 

 east aside, according to the retention or 

 loss of valuable qualities. These experi- 

 ments show a wide difference in desira- 

 bility, demonstrating that the differences 

 in timothies are not alone in price per 

 bushel. 



Just so with alfalfa, of which there are 

 I'lobably nearly 100 trials from all parts 

 01 the world where alfalfa is cultivated; 

 til* tests being of plants of many varia- 

 tions in character and habit, some very 

 p: imising, others not worth cultivating. 



And so the trials run through a great 

 yriety of clovers, grasses, cowpeas, soy 

 L 'ins, but nearly every sample of every- 

 ti !ng was patchy, no doubt because of 

 i jierfect germination and subsequent 

 ^ licult vegetation on this most un- 

 1 ipitious soil. The forage crops are in

 ' 1 countries, some from selected heads 

 ^ ed on the farm, the most promising 

 i- tctions to be continued until further 



* ablished or discarded. These are ex- 

 I ; iments of a most valuable nature. 



The test of esculent garden vegetables
