'i'he increased demand for flower and 

 ^('J,'etab]e seeds of flip various kinds in 

 the {i;rowin<i: of which the Vick con- 

 cerns liave specialized has made it nec- 

 essary for thcin 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 drainajre, for the expansion of 

 tlie sced-growinj,' interests of the con- 

 cern.

CROPS TO BREAK RECORDS. 



The government crop report of August 

 S 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. 



[.\ paper by L. S. Could, of Waterloo. Neb., 

 read before the American Seed Trade Associa- 

 tion at Cliicapo, .Inne 20. 11112, continued from 

 The Iteview of August 8.] 



Danger in Close Selection. 



So far I liave not intimated that 

 anything but progress could result from 

 careful breeding, but 1 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.
