 and Piatt streets, which is said to be 

 one of the finest factory buildings be- 

 tween Boston and Chicago. 



/The increased demand for flower and 

 vegetable seeds ol the various kinds in 

 the growing of which the Vick con- 

 cerns have specialized has made it nec- 

 essary for them to secure more land 

 for that purpose. In addition to the 

 former seed farm they have leased an- 

 other property nearby, which turns out 

 to be favorably situated, both as to 

 soil and drainage, for the expansion of 

 the seed-growing interests of the con- 

 cern.

The government crop report of August 

 8 indicates that there will be record- 

 breaking yields of all the grains, afford- 

 ing a fine prospect of a reduction in the 

 cost of living and the release of money 

 for other uses than the purchase of 

 necessities. Here are the comparisons:

CORN BREEDING. 



[A paper by L. S. Gould, of Waterloo, Neb., 

 read before the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion at Chicago, June 26, 1912, continued from 

 The Review of August 8.] 



Danger in Close Selection. 



So far I hftve not intimated that 

 anything but progress could result from 

 careful breeding, but I now wish to 

 suggest the possible danger of too close 

 selection, the results of which may have 

 caused much of the discouragement and 

 therefore skepticism among a certain 

 class of breeders.
