the farmer. He should make a careful 

 study not only of the particular crop, but 

 of the variety best adapted to his condi- 

 tions of soil and climate and of the cul- 

 tural methods which will give him the 

 greatest certainty of a crop of seed, and 

 also of the methods of harvesting and 

 cleaning it which will secure the greatest 

 possible return of seed which shall be 

 bright, clean, highly vital, and fit for 

 seedsmen's use. Many cases are known 

 where of two crops of the same seed 

 grown on adjacent farms and which up to 

 the time of harvest were equally promis- 

 ing, one gave a good return of seed which 

 was clean, highly vital and satisfactory 

 to both farmer and seedsman, while the 

 other crop, solely because of careless 

 handling, was so discolored and lacking in 

 vitality that it was unfit and worthless 

 for seedsmen's use, though it might 

 bring as much as the other if both were 

 sold as grain. 



Peculiarities of Growing G>ntract8. 



A contract for growing seed differs 

 quite materially from one for the manu- 

 facture or delivery of most merchandise 

 in that the practical possibility of its 

 fulfillment is very dependent upon 

 weather and other conditions which man 

 is powerless to predict or control. The 

 most that such a contract can equitably 

 provide for is that an honest and well- 

 directed effort be made to grow and de- 

 liver the quantity of seed contracted for. 

 The price specified in the contract should 

 be based upon the actual cost of the pro- 

 duction and delivery of the seed of the 

 particular variety named under normal 

 and average climatic conditions. A price 

 which would be equitable under such con- 

 ditions might prove entirely too low to 

 meet the actual cost of the growing, har- 

 vesting and delivery of the crop in an 

 exceptionally unfavorable season. 



Under such circumstances the farmer 

 sometimes fails to appreciate the impor- 

 tance of the agreement he has entered 

 into and either fails to plant the area 

 under contract, plows it up and plants

some more promising crop, or neglects to 

 properly cultivate and harvest the meager 

 crop which it is possible to secure. In 

 other instances when because of a general 

 failure of the crop of that particular sort 

 seed is exceptionally scarce and valuable 

 and some "pirate" seedsman offers 

 double the contract price for the crop the 

 farmer lets him have it, claiming that he 

 is justified in doing so because his eon- 

 tract was unfair. 



On the other hand, it often happens 

 that when there is an unfavorable season 

 and the farmer has done his best to get 

 and deliver what seed he could, although
